Go get the skis, we're off to Caroline Bay one more time. Might need the wet suits as we head into March. Swim between the flags! Oh, don't bother, the lifeguards will have left by now.

Where I'd rather be right now...

Though apparently this summer has been cool & cloudy in Canterbury, so these lyrics may be apt:

"Goodbye Caroline Skies

Now my friends are gone

This bay has washed away 

And so's the fun."

Caroline Skies, The Exponents.

Ah, the end of summer, a melancholic time... so enjoy the summer moment when it comes.
