Coast fetish, but am superstitious, so don't always pick things up (half a pendant, once).<BR/><BR/>With me always: sand from Marina Beach, Chennai. (But I think that's okay, as one of the biggest/longest beaches in the world, there's loads left to spare).<BR/><BR/>But what about what I did yesterday at that beach in S'pore... the one I'm writing a novel about? :-Ssharanyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16938588081989205992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7912730.post-85278387903208969492007-04-14T09:06:00.000+08:002007-04-14T09:06:00.000+08:00Animah - beaches, and anything outdoor during the ...<B>Animah</B> - beaches, and anything outdoor during the day. Hmm ... maybe I should switch my life around and sleep during the day and get up and do stuff at night. Failing that, I'm supposed to cover up, e.g., long sleeves, but wot about the face? Or wear sunscreen.Chethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10743260318771644192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7912730.post-13574934559402497452007-04-13T19:35:00.000+08:002007-04-13T19:35:00.000+08:00ms d - the locket should be a story ...chet - oh d...ms d - the locket should be a story ...<BR/><BR/>chet - oh dear!<BR/><BR/>i miss beaches. haven't been to one for ages.<BR/><BR/>animah - where got coral in uk? <BR/><BR/>i have a lovely haul of beach stones from british, malaysian and new zealand beaches and they all sit on my writing desk.<BR/><BR/>kenny - haven't been to pay less yet. maybe sunday. maybe not this time. am drowning in books. got given another stack of books for review when i went to see jason at of the edge. can't cope. but at the same time ...bibliobibulihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16456636355933524132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7912730.post-45412546641074759932007-04-13T18:36:00.000+08:002007-04-13T18:36:00.000+08:00AH, Sharon!
