Some context: once a year Simon and Greg have a thing where they put together a volley ball match - our village, Sheung Sze Wan, vs the people we know in the villages on the other side of the bay, collectively known as Lobster Bay (and where Greg and Pam live). Originally it was held on a super-low tide day, on the exposed sandbank on the side of the bay. But that had a host of complications and limitations, so instead they organised it at Mils beach this year, and it was an absolute beast of a perfect day. Its winter here now - all 25 degrees of it - so that means its hiking season, not beach season - so this perfect little spot is completely deserted. A charmed day. The Lobsters - the other team - decided on red budgie smugglers as a uniform. Not a good choice in my view. But they managed to look damn cool. The volley-ball itself was pretty close, evenly matched, but in the end the Sheung Sze Wan team prevailed.

| Mils beach is such a perfect little thing, spit of fine sand between a small river and the sea. Nothing else. |

The stingray outfit was a pair of blue shorts featuring... a stingray. Definitely
not as bold as the Lobsters. |
 |
In the spirit of the old world, which is now the new world,
women and men had separate teams. Stingrays on the other side. |
 |
| Fantastic hot and sunny, windless day. |

The village teams. Its actually a beauty of a photo - these things so often turn
out really nasty. Taken for me by Michael Abbot |

Back at the Coxs, Dana and Greg share a chuckle; Greg just catching his breath for a
moment after being over funned for a day. |
