The lazy surfers - 10th October 2012

Come on people, it's a school day

You can tell a lot about a suburb by the activity of its residence. We are thinking about moving to the beach. Really we just need a grassy backyard for the dogs, but after my Coogee epiphany the other day we’ve decided we may as well get grass and the beach all at once. Several hours on domain.com later and we though we'd found our dream home. That is until we did a drive by today. Issues with the house aside, I was most alarmed by the scene I found at the beach, just five minutes walk from the house. See all of those black dots in the water in the pic above? They are surfers. Let me remind you that today is a Wednesday and this pic was taken at 10.30am. Why the hell aren’t these people at work? They can't all work in bars and nightclubs! 
I feel like we had a lucky escape today. Any property close to Maroubra will no longer be considered. The percentage of unemployed residences is clearly too high. Closer to Coogee it is. As a side note, I had the most delightful day driving around and stopping at cafes to enjoy the sun. I wish every day could be like today.
