FRIDAY 5 FEBRUARY     EVANS HEAD

This morning, the rain has mostly gone, but it is still very windy and the seas are huge.

After breakfast, we walked to the break wall. The waves are still breaking strongly over the ends of the break walls. They are coming in at 3-4 metres high – very spectacular to watch, with spume spraying off their backs and them looking a really deep green as they rolled over. Unfortunately, it was still too damp to take the camera with me!

After lunch, John went to bowls.

I walked to the Library and changed a couple of books. Then went for a walk along the beach. I got a bit damp because of the spray being blown in off the wave tops, but it was quite exhilarating.

For tea I cooked flake cutlets just dipped in flour and egg, with potato slices brushed with oil and cooked in the electric frypan. The fish was lovely done that way.
