No, I'm not young enough for surfing. But two weeks ago, after having waited almost four months, I got my diving mask with correction for my eyes. The difference was incredible, earlier I used to swim and dive without my glasses, and saw very little. I had no idea how much (many) fish there is around here, earlier I clearly almost stepped on them without knowing.

>hehe -yep nothing like the island life huh? You take up surfing yet?

>>I love the climate, and I definitely don't miss shovelling snow. Although where I'm from the temperatures the last days have been moderate, the 28-30°C we have here is way more attractive.

>>>>>>First of all, Janis is a person known to most people here, so I thought that this was the right forum to post the message . Secondly, Janis clearly indicated in her email to me that she wanted "to connect up with old friends again", the last is a direct quote from the email I received from her this morning. And last, who brought in the word "moral" here? It never crossed my mind that anyone could think about moral when we really talk about a person's happiness.
