Let’s go fishing Dad – at Blue Lagoon. Just till 7pm.
As we were leaving a pelican flew overhead and from across the lagoon came the plaintive ‘flat battery’ cry of the Water Thick-knee (Dikkop) . .

A week later the fishing bug is still strong! This time Tom goes to Doonside rocks with fellow keen fisherman and school buddy Ryan.
They chose the spot and Tom was surprised when I showed him it was directly below Aitch’s Mom Iona’s last place of abode: The Mooi Hawens frail care home.
