It’s the type of day I have lived often, but I could keep on living it forever.

06:00

We wake up early, the sun is young, we feel rested but laze in bed a little bit to cuddle, and snooze a bit.

07:00

We get ready, prepping the pup, putting the boards in the car, prepare some hot chai and snacks to go. Get ready in comforable clothes. And go.

08:00

We drive down towards Ventura, the sun is out, there is no traffic whatsoever, and we sip on tea and breakfast snacks while listening to good sounds, enjoying the beautiful hilly landscape of California.

09:00

The surf is clean. Consistent 3 to 4 ft waves, and an empty line-up. We set up the tent on the beach for Indy, we quickly change, and we go out.

10:00

11:00

We surf for more than 2 hours, catching waves, saying ‘hi’ to a pod of dolphins, a few seals too are greating us. I catch a good long left. Daiki get’s low barreled in a one-of 5 footer wave. We are tired but refreshed and happy.

12:00

We change, and spend some time on the beach with the pup, drinking tea and running with her. We gather some drifted wood to bring back home, and pack everyting back into the car.

13:00

We drive 5 minutes into town, and park at the local free parking lot. Then we walk around and pick a spot for a rewarding lunch. Maybe a good burger at Finney’s.

14:00

We take a stroll down the street and go to our favorite thrift stores. We spend a good hour digging around, and find a few bags of treasures.

15:00

We stroll a little more, then stop at a coffee shop for a quick tea, and maybe a little treat, chatting around and remaking the world with words.

16:00

We drive back home, we change the genre of music, maybe a little more upbeat to keep us awake and alert. Indy is sleeping very deep in the back.

17:00

Back home, Daiki washes and hangs the wetsuits, while I water the veggie garden. We gather the wood, cut the bigger pieces and bring it all inside. Then we take a quick shower and moisturize while watching something short on Youtube, while talking over it, of course.

18:00

Time to make a simple dinner, maybe we cut a bunch of veggies and tofu, and drop it in the hot pot for a tasty Nabe time. It takes a while, and lot of Ponzu refill.

19:00

20:00

21:00

We build a fire, make tea, and set a movie on the projector in the living room. Then we cuddle up with Indy on the couch and watch the movie with the soft flickering of the flames.

22:00

We give the pup her last walk, and move to the bedroom, for more cuddles, skincare routine, infra-red treatment and maybe give each others a good massage.

23:00

We fall asleep with the rain starting outside, offering a comforting feeling to the coziness of our bed.

Thank you
