Heres the details:

Deep blue

Wow. who made this planet, because I think they deserve a bit more credit!
Last night I watched Deep Blue; a dvd best watched on a big screen with surround sound because the massive size of the creatures and seas and mountains as well as the intricite detail of the organisms in the sea will blow you away! It was crazy, I watched a nature documentary for goodness sake but it was the best movie I have seen in some time (and that doesn't say anything about the kinds of movies i watch). It has superb music and minimal speaking which I like, the pictures just speak for themselves really. This movie will give you a new respect and awe of the ocean.... yeah I'm going to start rambling in my enthusiasm now - rent it out, get your popcorn and prepare to be stunned.

Making it fair

It's fairtrade fortnight - why it's a fortnight and not a week or a month I do not know but I do know that Fairtrade coffee is good quality coffee, you are not substituting quality of your espresso to give 3rd worlders a decent deal, so everyone wins. Drink Fairtrade only - Zigana and Scarborough Fair Medium Roast Espresso blends would be my recommendations. Drink, Drink, Drink up. (The Coffee I mean)

A brand new start

Welcome back to my blog folks, I seemed to have dropped off the end of blogland after my host server shutdown, sigh... so it's time to start again with a new address. Away with the squaremelon and onto the sunny skies of the 'cyber-beach.blogspot.com'

Cyber-beach refers to my love of the beach, I love so much about it, the crashing waves, hot sand, sharp rocks, beautiful views, relaxed culture, changing weather and it's on the beach that I often find myself re-assessing my life, putting things into perspective and enjoying the beauty of the environment. When I am reminded once again on a surf of the strength of the waves compared with mine I thank God that he has given me this breath of life and I let myself experience his creation in a most intimate way, often with my arms and legs ungraciously pounded against the sand by a wave!

I will upload most of my former posts onto this site so you can browse back and so my site doesn't look so empty!
