The inspiration for this morning's blog is from Anne Edwards who suggested I blog on sand. When I asked why she said 'You wouldn't have a beach without sand. And then I thought well, I wake up after a night with the sandman. Then I don't like to have my head stuck in the sand because as they say on the soapies 'Like sand through the hourglass there goes the days of our lives.' Now I don't want to sandbag you or create a sandstorm in a teacup or even get caught in the quicksand. And after all this talk about sand I wouldn't want you to think I have salophilia - the sometime perverse attraction to salty things.
There were lots of folks this morning looking forward to feeling the sand between their toes...
And what better way to end my rant on sand than to see true love on the sand with Kim & Sterling...
See you on the sand,
Pete Anthony
