Over Yonder

Over Eight Million Pixels

My Dear Princess and Dear Fellow,

I started a WhatsApp chat group and called it "The Famous Five" because I couldn't think of anything else. This lot have no idea who Enid Blyton is but it was that or "The Dave Clark 5" so Enid Blyton it was. 

We used the group to liaise on a beach day. Manda had discovered a secret, hidden, yet HUGE beach near the town of Levin. Jefe was excited because you could DRIVE on said beach. He'd experienced too many family holidays with his kids, ferrying boogie boards, food, coolers and camping equipment from the parking lot to the beach and back again.

So he was very happy.

Manda warned us about bottle jellyfish though. Apparently the beach was littered with them. 

"I would pee on you Manda," I offered. A touching gesture I thought, but she kept her emotions well hid.

We settled down on the beach and the camping gear came out. A table, chairs, plates and cutlery appeared. I love being friends with campers. 

We sat down to a beach on a sunny day, with just enough of a sea breeze to take the sting out of the sun. We slip, slap, slopped sunscreen and chattered away. Jefe has just bought himself a 77" OLED tv and was very excited about it because it has over eight million pixels. 

"And to represent blackness, darkness they just TURN OFF," he said. "When the scene changes to daylight again, you're practically BLINDED!"

Caro went for swim.

"I've lost Caro," said Jefe sadly.

"You with your eight million pixels," muttered Caro.

"OVER eight million," he corrected. 

However, Jefe's love for technology redeemed itself when he arranged this selfie. The only problem with it being that his hat blew off at the moment the picture took. 

It turned out to be the best one. Hence blip of the day.

So there you have us. The Famous Five. I have no idea how many pixels are in this picture.
