At the Beach


Yesterday was a bit of a sweaty swelterer of a Tuesday, so myself and Sanae mitched off early from work, sprung Cian from his nursery school and headed for the cool of Itanki beach.
Ahhh, Itanki beach. It could never be mentioned in the same sentence as Banna beach or Brittas Bay (but you just did!), but on hot humid day like yesterday, it can hold its own.
Cian swooshed into and through the water like a, a feline porcupine! Yes, Cian is now known as the cat-dolphin boy wonder. Mammy was a bit more circumspect, striking poses worthy of National Geographic Traveler magazine. And Daddy, well he did what he does best - made a fool of himself.


We were soon joined by my friend and colleague ‘Uncle’ Mikey. He too found it hard to resist the allure of Itanki and its cool (and surprisingly clean) waters. He also found it hard to resist the allure of the ‘Leap of Death’, as did Daddy.
I should point out that we are both husbands, fathers, assistant professors at the university and on the wrong side of 40, but damn, was it ever fun.
