summer in cornwall, surf, music and weekend surfers

I love watching the weather, especially if it is to do with surf forecasting in my home area cornwall. I have just taken added pictures from the bbc weather forecast pages for 1.00pm tomorrow (saturday 5th 0f july) not that the day has any significance other than it's a weekend in the cornish summer when the SW is already full of tourists and weekend surfers. trouble is the wind will be strong the rain will be plentiful and the air temperature lower than it has been all week. but there will be surf and some seriously good surf for those who bother to search it out. oh yes and jack johnson is playing two nights at watergate bay (nr. newquay). me I am set to spend the weekend under a deluge of course work that has to be moderated by next week, why do I always leave things until the last minute.

echo beach >> cornwall >> surfing

I never thought I would ever be writing on this blog about a television programme, especially on ITV1, but as it is based in cornwall and has a link to surfing I thought I had better get in early. (echo beach & moving wallpapers).
I have watched the first two programmes (of echo beach that is) and I think that though it is really not very good at all, I will probably watch many more. much like neighbours (the australian soap) is not very good but I seem to have watched it for 20+ years, (that's embarrassing).
it was the talk of work today as half of it is filmed very close to where we are based, and the rest about 40 miles away. so it is very funny to see familiar places seeming to be very close to each other. of course it is all in cornwall and it looks very english/cornish except that it seems sunnier and far less crowded than we are used to down here.

dogs >> !?

dogs a strange subject for a post even for me but still. you will either have stopped reading by now as dogs are just not your thing, fair enough I have no problem with that. I like them.
you will know about sammy the surf dog, (he has rather a good clothing range as well as a good surf report for the outer banks of north carolina).
I have kept a little quiet in this blog about my dog rusty (named after the legendary surfer/shaper rusty preisendorfer).

anyway today was spend chasing around trying to find someone to have rusty for a few weeks while we go away as well as taking him to the vets to have his yearly booster injection. haven't got it a place for him sorted yet but close.
we were going to take him to france but he doesn't like extreme heat being a true cornish (west country) dog. a parson terrier, not to be confused with a jack russell terrier. a parson is longer legged, faster and recognised by the kennel club of great britain as a breed.
he likes it best when the wind is blowing hard and the temperature is just above freezing and he has the beach/moors to himself to just run. so the cornish autumn suits us both good waves and warm water but a lower air temperature and nearly always windy.
