i was down the beach yesterday with my dog, but I was at the Cat and Dog Steps about half a mile from where this happened..
It was a bit choppy, but nothing out of the ordinary. I would have certainly been in for a swim with the dog if I had someone to watch over my bag..
I can't remember who it was I was talking about Eastbound and Down with was it @Home_and_Away?
Whoever it was, I've been watching Vice Principals which is the new show from the Eastbound crew and it's brilliant.

Every single night at midnight the forum goes from heavy traffic to a ghost town, except from the night owls who tweet on all night.
Well I'm just chilling and drinking red wine after a traumatic day keeping up with transfer news..
I've blanked the estate agent all day because I have been stuck into this. Wasn't worth it in the end 
Theres gonna be one seriously pissed of drug supplier somewhere.
Workers at a Coca-Cola factory found a huge stash of cocaine inside a shipment of fruit juice in southern France.
Sacks containing 370kg of the drug - with a potential street value of about €50m (£42.3m) - were discovered, local newspaper Var-Matin reported.
"You can well imagine the surprise," said a spokesman for Coca-Cola.

The staff unearthed the haul when they opened a delivery of fruit juice concentrate from Costa Rica last Friday.
They immediately alerted police and were ruled out as potential suspects.
An investigation into trafficking and importing of illegal drugs has been launched by the Marseille prosecutor's office.
The factory, situated in the town of Signes, near the Mediterranean, produces concentrates for various drinks

It's always glorified by the press, street value means nowt at that stage of the chain.
It's about £200k worth of product tops, and that's a drop in the ocean to the producers.
I once tried some that was as near to pure as you're likely to get in this country, it was £90 a gram, it was absolutely incredible. About two slugs lasted me all night, and I never had even the tiniest come down. Seems a long time ago now, my young, free and careless days, single man doing what the **** I wanted. I wish I could have all the money back I spent on drugs and girls I'd be able to retire now
I thought this was street art at its best..
