Well, a week of entertaining Pete's son and girlfriend seems to have taken its toll (I just pushed myself too hard. It was totally worth it to have them here).
I'm officially sick, dammit. Runny nose, sore throat, achy and tired. We took them to the airport this evening and tonight I will go to bed early and try to get back into a routine this week!
It might make me feel better if you look at this on black.
The robot’s designation was K-4N, a Bivale prototype engineered for rapid-response logistics and crowd interaction. It was fast, adaptive, and unnervingly strong. But during its first public demonstration, something went wrong. A miscalibrated feedback loop triggered a cascade of erratic movements—arms flailing, legs locking, voice module stuttering in fragmented syllables. Spectators screamed. Engineers panicked. The footage went viral.
K-4N was recalled, quarantined in a lab on the outskirts of Kyoto. The incident was labeled a “behavioral anomaly,” but no one could explain the emotional residue it left behind. Some said the robot looked afraid. Others said it was angry. Most dismissed it as a glitch.
But one engineer, Dr. Sora Ishikawa, saw something else: confusion. Not malfunction, but a kind of existential dissonance. K-4N had been designed to respond to human emotion—but it had never been taught how to feel the absence of it. The crowd’s fear had created a feedback vacuum. The robot had panicked.
Sora made a radical proposal: before reprogramming, K-4N would undergo meditative training. Not as a fix, but as a form of integration. She brought the robot to a Zen monastery nestled in the hills, where an elderly monk named Ryosen agreed to guide it—not as a machine, but as a student.
At first, K-4N’s movements were rigid, its sensors twitching with every falling leaf. But Ryosen did not correct it. He simply sat, breathing.
Waiting. Teaching without words.
Weeks passed.
Then one morning, beneath the maple tree, K-4N lowered itself into the lotus position. Its servos adjusted. Its posture softened. And for the first time, it did not scan or calculate. It simply was.
Ryosen bowed. The robot bowed back.
The engineers called it a breakthrough. Sora called it a beginning.
And somewhere in the moss-covered silence, steel learned to be still.
Postscript: A once-chaotic robot now sits in perfect stillness beside a Zen master. The image feels like the beginning of a new chapter—where AI doesn’t just compute, but contemplates. Where misbehavior gives way to mindfulness. Where the future bows to the ancient.
[Note: To abandon AI robots based on a few unsettling incidents, would be like giving up on a child for stumbling while learning to walk. What’s needed is graceful stewardship, not fear or sensationalism.]
Oh I really need to know
Or else you gotta let me go
You're just a fantasy girl
It's an impossible world
All I want is to be with you always
I give you everything
Pay some attention to me
All I want is just you and me always
Give me affection
I need your perfection
Cause you feel so good
You make me stutter, stutter

|please read Ta's Story about resilience|
When I was younger, I suffered from a very severe speech impediment, a stutter. So severe, to the point I was physically not able to put words out of my mouth. No matter how hard I tried, the words just got more and more stuck and it got more and more frustrating. So I gave up speaking altogether. Not only was it frustrating, but quite embarrassing. It was during that key time in a kid's childhood when they begin to make life long friendships and I couldn't even introduce myself and say "Hello, my name is Ta." I was bullied and put down for the way I spoke and sounded. It made me become painfully shy and quiet. I see people just throw words around, saying stupid, hurtful things, just to hear the sound of their own voice and taking such a simple ability for granted, speaking. When I tried to speak and voice my opinion, all the eyes in the room began to roll and voices toppled over mine because no one had the patience to hear it. One of the very few people that actually did in fact have the patience wasn't even a person. It was my dog. Dante. Our family got our boxer dog when my stuttering was at it's worst when I was about 7. I spoke to him for hours about my day and how I was feeling. I was able to say what I needed to say and actually get it out before someone interrupted me. I didn't get talked over or made fun. It must sound ridiculous that I spoke to a dog, but Dante was such an incredible listener. I felt I always had his attention. Very recently, we had to put down Dante. He was 11 years old. He was one of my best friends and I miss him terribly. There are a couple good things I got out of my impediment. The first, I realized my passion in life is animals and becoming a veterinarian. How perfect of a job would it be to heal the best listeners, animals! The second, is that silence is golden and many things are better left unsaid. To this day, I fear public speaking and meeting new people. My stutter did continue through elementary school and middle school, and even a little in high school, but less severe due to speech therapy. One of the greatest things I learned in speech therapy is that the people that matter are the ones that care to listen.

British actor Boris Karloff (1887-1969) is one of the true icons of the Horror cinema. He portrayed Frankenstein's monster in Frankenstein (1931), Bride of Frankenstein (1935), and Son of Frankenstein (1939), which resulted in his immense popularity. In the following decades he worked in countless Horror films, but also in other genres, both in Europe and Hollywood.
Boris Karloff was born as William Henry Pratt in 1887 in London, England. Pratt himself stated that he was born in Dulwich, which is nearby in London. His parents were Edward John Pratt, Jr. and his third wife Eliza Sarah Millard. ‘Billy’never knew his father. Edward Pratt had worked for the Indian Salt Revenue Service, and had virtually abandoned his family in far off England. Edward died when his son was still an infant and so Billy was raised by his mother. He was the youngest of nine children, and following his mother's death was brought up by his elder brothers and sisters. As a child, Billy performed each Christmas in plays staged by St. Mary Magdalene's Church. His first role was that of The Demon King in the pantomime Cinderella. Billy was bow-legged, had a lisp, and stuttered. He conquered his stutter, but not his lisp, which was noticeable throughout his career in the film industry. After his education at private schools, he attended King's College London where he took studies aimed at a career with the British Government's Consular Service. However, in 1909, the 22-years-old left university without graduating and sailed from Liverpool to Canada, where he worked as a farm labourer and did various odd itinerant jobs. In Canada, he began appearing in theatrical performances, and chose the stage name Boris Karloff. Later, he claimed he chose ‘Boris’ because it sounded foreign and exotic, and that ‘Karloff’ was a family name. However, his daughter Sara Karloff publicly denied any knowledge of Slavic forebears, Karloff or otherwise. One reason for the name change was to prevent embarrassment to his family. He did not reunite with his family until he returned to Britain to make The Ghoul (T. Hayes Hunter, 1933), opposite Cedric Hardwicke. Karloff was extremely worried that his family would disapprove of his new, macabre claim to world fame. Instead, his brothers jostled for position around him and happily posed for publicity photographs. In 1911, Karloff joined the Jeanne Russell Company and later joined the Harry St. Clair Co. that performed in Minot, North Dakota, for a year in an opera house above a hardware store. Whilst he was trying to establish his acting career, Karloff had to perform years of difficult manual labour in Canada and the U.S. in order to make ends meet. He was left with back problems from which he suffered for the rest of his life. In 1917, he arrived in Hollywood, where he went on to make dozens of silent films. Some of his first roles were in film serials, such as The Masked Rider (Aubrey M. Kennedy, 1919), in Chapter 2 of which he can be glimpsed onscreen for the first time, and The Hope Diamond Mystery (Stuart Paton, 1920). In these early roles, he was often cast as an exotic Arabian or Indian villain. Other silent films were The Deadlier Sex (Robert Thornby, 1920) with Blanche Sweet, Omar the Tentmaker (James Young, 1922), Dynamite Dan (Bruce Mitchell, 1924) and Tarzan and the Golden Lion (J.P. McGowan, 1927) in which James Pierce played Tarzan. In 1926 Karloff found a provocative role in The Bells (James Young, 1926), in which he played a sinister hypnotist opposite Lionel Barrymore. He worked with Barrymore again in his first sound film, the thriller The Unholy Night (Lionel Barrymore, 1929).
A key film which brought Boris Karloff recognition was The Criminal Code (Howard Hawks, 1931), a prison drama in which he reprised a dramatic part he had played on stage. With his characteristic short-cropped hair and menacing features, Karloff was a frightening sight to behold. Opposite Edward G. Robinson, Karloff played a key supporting part as an unethical newspaper reporter in Five Star Final (Mervyn LeRoy, 1931), a film about tabloid journalism which was nominated for the Oscar for Best Picture. Karloff's role as Frankenstein's monster in Frankenstein (James Whale, 1931), based on the classic Mary Shelley book, propelled him to stardom. Wikipedia: “The bulky costume with four-inch platform boots made it an arduous role but the costume and extensive makeup produced the classic image. The costume was a job in itself for Karloff with the shoes weighing 11 pounds (5 kg) each.” The aura of mystery surrounding Karloff was highlighted in the opening credits, as he was listed as simply "?." The film was a commercial and critical success for Universal, and Karloff was instantly established as a hot property in Hollywood. Universal Studios was quick to acquire ownership of the copyright to the makeup format for the Frankenstein monster that Jack P. Pierce had designed. A year later, Karloff played another iconic character, Imhotep in The Mummy (Karl Freund, 1932). The Old Dark House (James Whale, 1932) with Charles Laughton, and the starring role in MGM’s The Mask of Fu Manchu (Charles Brabin, 1932) quickly followed. Steve Vertlieb at The Thunder Child: “Wonderfully kinky, the film co-starred young Myrna Loy as the intoxicating, yet sadistic Fah Lo See, Fu Manchu's sexually perverse daughter. Filmed prior to Hollywood's infamous production code, the film joyously escaped the later scrutiny of The Hayes Office, and remains a fascinating example of pre-code extravagance.” These films all confirmed Karloff's new-found stardom. Horror had become his primary genre, and he gave a string of lauded performances in 1930s Universal Horror films. Karloff reprised the role of Frankenstein's monster in two other films, the sensational Bride of Frankenstein (James Whale, 1935) and the less thrilling Son of Frankenstein (Rowland V. Lee, 1939), the latter also featuring Bela Lugosi. Steve Vertlieb about Bride oif Frankenstein: “Whale delivered perhaps the greatest horror film of the decade and easily the most critically acclaimed rendition of Mary Shelley's novel ever released. The Bride of Frankenstein remains a work of sheer genius, a brilliantly conceived and realized take on loneliness, vanity, and madness. The cast of British character actors is simply superb.” While the long, creative partnership between Karloff and Lugosi never led to a close friendship, it produced some of the actors' most revered and enduring productions, beginning with The Black Cat (Edgar G. Ullmer, 1934). Follow-ups included The Raven (Lew Landers, 1935), the rarely seen, imaginative science fiction melodrama The Invisible Ray (Lambert Hillyer, 1936), and The Body Snatcher (Robert Wise, 1945). Karloff played a wide variety of roles in other genres besides Horror. He was memorably gunned down in a bowling alley in Howard Hawks' classic Scarface (1932) starring Paul Muni.. He played a religious First World War soldier in John Ford’s epic The Lost Patrol (1934) opposite Victor McLaglen. Between 1938 and 1940, Karloff starred in five films for Monogram Pictures, including Mr. Wong, Detective (William Nigh, 1938). During this period, he also starred with Basil Rathbone in Tower of London (Rowland V. Lee, 1939) as the murderous henchman of King Richard III, and with Margaret Lindsay in British Intelligence (Terry O. Morse, 1940). In 1944, he underwent a spinal operation to relieve his chronic arthritic condition.
Boris Karloff revisited the Frankenstein mythos in several later films, taking the starring role of the villainous Dr. Niemann in House of Frankenstein (Erle C. Kenton, 1944), in which the monster was played by Glenn Strange. He reprised the role of the ‘mad scientist’ in Frankenstein 1970 (Howard W. Koch, 1958) as Baron Victor von Frankenstein II, the grandson of the original creator. The finale reveals that the crippled Baron has given his own face (i.e., Karloff's) to the monster. From 1945 to 1946, Boris Karloff appeared in three films for RKO produced by Val Lewton: Isle of the Dead (Mark Robson, 1945), The Body Snatcher (Robert Wise, 1945), and Bedlam (Mark Robson, 1946). Karloff had left Universal because he thought the Frankenstein franchise had run its course. Karloff was a frequent guest on radio programs. In 1949, he was the host and star of the radio and television anthology series Starring Boris Karloff. In 1950, he had his own weekly children's radio show in New York. He played children's music and told stories and riddles, and attracted many adult listeners as well. An enthusiastic performer, he returned to the Broadway stage in the original production of Arsenic and Old Lace (1941), in which he played a homicidal gangster enraged to be frequently mistaken for Karloff. In 1962, he reprised the role on television with Tony Randall and Tom Bosley. He also appeared as Captain Hook in the play Peter Pan with Jean Arthur. In 1955, he returned to the Broadway stage to portray the sympathetic Bishop Cauchon in Jean Anouilh's The Lark. Karloff regarded the production as the highlight of his long career. Julie Harris was his co-star as Joan of Arc in the celebrated play, recreated for live television in 1957 with Karloff, Harris and much of the original New York company intact. For his role, Karloff was nominated for a Tony Award. Karloff donned the monster make-up for the last time for a Halloween episode of the TV series Route 66 (1962), which also featured Peter Lorre and Lon Chaney, Jr. In the 1960s, Karloff appeared in several films for American International Pictures, including The Comedy of Terrors (Jacques Tourneur, 1963) with Vincent Price and Peter Lorre, The Raven (Roger Corman, 1963), The Terror (Roger Corman, 1963) with Jack Nicholson, and Die, Monster, Die! (Daniel Haller, 1965). Another project for American International release was the frightening Italian horror classic, I tre volti della paura/Black Sabbath (Mario Bava, 1963), in which Karloff played a vampire with bone chilling intensity. He also starred in British cult director Michael Reeves's second feature film, The Sorcerers (1966). He gained new popularity among a young generation when he narrated the animated TV film Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas (Chuck Jones, Ben Washam. 1966), and provided the voice of the Grinch. Karloff later received a Grammy Award for Best Recording For Children after the story was released as a record. Then he starred as a retired horror film actor in Targets (Peter Bogdanovich, 1968), Steve Vertlieb: “Targets was a profoundly disturbing study of a young sniper holding a small Midwestern community, deep in the bible belt, terrifyingly at bay. The celebrated subplot concerned the philosophical dilemma of creating fanciful horrors on the screen, while graphic, troubling reality was eclipsing the superficiality so tiredly repeated by Hollywood. Karloff co-starred, essentially as himself, an aged horror star named Byron Orlok, who wants simply to retire from the imagined horrors of a faded genre, only to come shockingly to grips with the depravity and genuine terror found on America's streets. Bogdanovich's first film as a director won praise from critics and audiences throughout the world community, and won its elder star the best, most respectful notices of his later career.”. In 1968, he played occult expert Professor Marsh in the British production Curse of the Crimson Altar (Vernon Sewell, 1968), which was the last Karloff film to be released during his lifetime. He ended his career by appearing in four low-budget Mexican horror films, which were released posthumously. While shooting his final films, Karloff suffered from emphysema. Only half of one lung was still functioning and he required oxygen between takes. he contracted bronchitis in 1968 and was hospitalized. Early 1969, he died of pneumonia at the King Edward VII Hospital, Midhurst, in Sussex, at the age of 81. Boris Karloff married five times and had one child, daughter Sara Karloff, by his fourth wife.

Based on a delightful song I am hazarding a shaky opinion this is Melospiza melodia. Little brown birds - who knows? But, I took this advice fron the Cornell Lab of Ornithology: "Don’t let the bewildering variety of regional differences this bird shows across North America deter you: it’s one of the first species you should suspect if you see a streaky sparrow in an open, shrubby, or wet area. If it perches on a low shrub, leans back, and sings a stuttering, clattering song, so much the better."
In scripted (2013) a 3D sensor uses head-tracking to follow participants’ movements as if from above, and responds by drawing unbroken, charcoal-like lines of their actions, which then fade slowly on a parchment-like background. As we write with our bodies, gesture-tracking software recognizes shapes that resemble letters from the alphabet, projects and speaks them aloud.

Pôster brasileiro de "O Discurso do Rei" (The King's Speech, Reino Unido, 2010), filme que conta a história do reinado de George VI ("Bertie") — pai da rainha Elizabeth II —, monarca britânico que, apesar de ter disfemia (gagueira persistente), liderou seu país após a grave crise da abdicação, que quase desestabilizou a Inglaterra durante o difícil período que antecedeu a entrada do país na 2ª Guerra Mundial.

Sinopse do filme:
Bertie (Colin Firth) se vê diante de um grande dilema ao ter de assumir o poder após a morte de seu pai, George V (Michael Gambon), e a escandalosa abdicação de seu irmão, Eduardo VIII (Guy Pearce). Em virtude da disfemia (gagueira persistente) que possui desde a infância, enfrentar um microfone para fazer pronunciamentos à nação representa um desafio maior do que estar em um front de batalha. O ano era 1936 e o Reino Unido vivia um momento crítico de sua história. Preocupada com os percalços que a gagueira traria a Bertie no exercício do poder, com o país à beira de uma guerra e precisando desesperadamente de um líder, sua esposa (Helena Bonham) resolve pedir ajuda a um fonoaudiólogo nada ortodoxo, o australiano Lionel Logue (Geoffrey Rush). Baseado na história real do Rei George VI, o drama nos mostra os bastidores da difícil e desesperada luta do monarca para reencontrar a própria voz e evitar o colapso institucional de seu país.
Sobre a gagueira:
A gagueira é um distúrbio do neurodesenvolvimento que afeta a fluência da fala e pode causar forte impacto negativo na vida da pessoa que gagueja. Dada a importância da comunicação no dia a dia, a gagueira tende a prejudicar consideravelmente a funcionalidade do indivíduo em vários aspectos da vida, sobretudo nos âmbitos acadêmico, social e ocupacional. Assim como o Rei George VI, cerca de 1% da população adulta, em todos os países e culturas do mundo, sofre de gagueira persistente. O distúrbio surge tipicamente na infância, atinge 5% das crianças e persiste na idade adulta em 1% delas. Apesar da prevalência relativamente alta, a gagueira infelizmente ainda não recebe a atenção e o cuidado que necessita. A maioria dos casos tem origem neurológica ou genética e a intensidade dos sintomas pode ser influenciada por fatores como estresse, estado emocional e cansaço físico. Não há cura, mas um bom tratamento pode reduzir a frequência e a severidade dos bloqueios, diminuir a relutância em falar e melhorar a autoestima.
Na mesma época retratada no filme "O Discurso do Rei" (década de 30), uma pesquisa feita por Mary Tudor, estudante de psicologia clínica da Universidade de Iowa, nos Estados Unidos, tentou provar que as pessoas podiam ser "convencidas" a se tornarem gagas.
Orientada por Wendell Johnson, professor da universidade e portador de gagueira desde os 6 anos de idade, Tudor trabalhou com 22 crianças -- 10 delas diagnosticadas com gagueira antes do experimento --, durante seis meses de 1939.
Divididas em grupos, as crianças órfãs sem gagueira eram levadas a acreditar que tinham problemas de fala. Já parte daquelas com o distúrbio de verdade eram convencidas de que falavam normalmente. A intenção era provar a crença de Wendell Johnson de que a gagueira nascia de causas psicológicas, em vez de causas físicas.
Mas o experimento de Tudor falhou completamente, deixando uma grande interrogação em relação à causa da gagueira. Se ela não é um comportamento aprendido, o que ela é afinal? Apenas no início do século XXI, com o advento de métodos avançados de neuroimagem que possibilitaram a investigação da microestrutura da matéria branca do cérebro (a parte conectiva do tecido neural), a ciência começou a dispor de instrumentos adequados para responder esta pergunta.
A aplicação dessas novas ferramentas de pesquisa aos estudos sobre gagueira tornou realidade algo que anteriormente se julgava impossível: a descoberta de um substrato neurológico para o distúrbio. Utilizando um tipo especial de ressonância magnética conhecido como DTI (diffusion tensor imaging), neurocientistas encontraram rupturas microscópicas nas conexões de matéria branca situadas logo abaixo de regiões do córtex cerebral importantes para a produção da fala (pontos em vermelho na imagem acima).
Este impressionante achado sepultou outra premissa fundamental da teoria de Wendell Johnson: a de que a gagueira não comportava uma base física.

First iteration of 844's valve gear.
There is some stuttering to smooth out but I think that will go away on its own when I add the other drivers/valve gear on the fireman side. The fireman side drivers will be turned 90 degrees from the engineer side helping balance the whole movement.
For the first draft going from digital to physical I will take it!
excuse me, sir, I'm a stutterer
I guess that means I can't speak straight
I can't wait for reality to reshape me
I'm deep in the woods on a hunt for heart
the passion of playing someone else's part
and I start with the sighing sound
of a predator praying to escape the hound
the war goes on in a world without doors
the metaphor murders the bore
and wonders what your worry was for
if you must be afraid, be afraid right now
don't think about tomorrow
there's plenty to fear right here in the shadow
but close as a ghost in my myopic ear
the whisper of a whimper is all I hear
getting drunk in a rut, a god with a gut
lay me somewhere soft, and call me sire
rest my feet on the ottoman empire
let me lose my way, every day
I don't know what I'm knowing
but I'm growing
where I'm going...

Richly spotted breeding plumage, teetering gait, stuttering wingbeats, common shorebird that breeds further north.
The last time I freaked out
I just kept looking down
I stuttered when you asked me what I'm thinking about
Felt like I couldn't breathe
You asked what's wrong with me
My best friend Leslie said "Oh she's just being Miley"
The next time we hang out
I will redeem myself
My heart can rest till then (a-whoa a-whoa)
Now I can't wait to see you again

NOOSA/QLD (15th March, 2012): The talk of the town today was all about hanging toes, with the eagerly anticipated round two of the Golden Breed Noserider Pro hitting the water around the middle of the day.
But the rainy start was owned by the old boys, with the Over 55, Over 60 and Over 40 divisions all taking place in the growing and groomed waves wrapping around the point into Laguna Bay.
Dates of birth had no baring on abilities, those of a more lengthy lifespan still managing to draw exclamations from the meagre crowd and very healthy scores from the barrage of onlooking judges.
Age is just a number to the young at heart, and Bruce Channon and Eric Walker proved it. Among several excellent performers, these two both amounted a 7.75 single-wave score – something to be proud of for even the youngest and most agile.
Event director Phil Jarratt was swathed in a mist of Deep Heat after exiting the water, but a mid-range score testament to the efforts he threw into his exploits in the third round of the Old Guys Rule Men’s 60 and Over.
The 55s too, sponsored by Smythe’s Inc, drew some spectacular exhibitions. Despite his second place, Bill Tolhurst registered the wave of the third round, the local shaper unable to back up a tremendous wave just shy of the 9-point mark.
With the round two repercharge of the Sebel Resort Noosa Men’s Over 40 out of the way, the ladies took to the water. Waves stuttering and wind prevailing from out to sea, Georgia Young all the way from WA opened her heat with a scorching wave which, despite her inability to find a matching wave, took her into an unchallenged lead. She will definitely be a very strong contender in tomorrow’s semi final.
The Golden Breed Noserider division is measured on time rather than merit, with seconds being counted for hang fives, that time doubled for completed hang tens. This generated a hive of activity in the judges’ booth, ten individual judges poised with stopwatches to register the times of the five contestants in the water.
As was predicted, local nasal aficionado Harrison Roach lived up to his reputation, very nearly an entire minute of tip time accumulated from his two-wave tally. Roach’s noseriding skills are absolutely staggering, each of his waves peeking the interest of the throng of onlookers lining the First Point shoreline and filling the festival’s beach bar.
Disappointment for the young Japanese contender, Yuta Sezutsu though, unable to collect a substantial score despite some fantastic wave-riding. The rising onshore wind did nothing to improve the feasibility of ideal nosriding conditions and many surfers struggled to exhibit their usually exceptional abilities.
Although Roach was undoubtedly the man of the moment, over 25 seconds clear of his closest rival, there was a plethora of good rides, Trent Dicky and Matt Cuddihy both gaining very healthy times to take them into the next round.
Event major sponsor, Global Surf Industries held its eponymous Global One Design, in which the pre-selected contestants compete on identical boards. Each year, a different model is chosen, this year being the turn of the contradictingly named Modern Old Skool, a traditional shape with single fin.
Rip Curl co-founder and long-standing friend and participant of the Noosa Festival, Doug ‘Claw’ Warbrick paddled out for some fun, not amounting to too much, but a noble effort and a wonderful gesture.
Barry ‘Magoo’ McGuigan is a legend, both in the throwaway Australian sense and in true definition. The 80-plus character doesn’t look a day over 60 and can surf rings around many decades younger than himself. Very worthy of an invite into the event, he did himself proud, coming a very respectable third in his heat, the ruthless Phil Jarratt denying preferential treatment to a man old enough to very nearly be his father.
Rusty Miller, a man who has surfed swells the size of mountains, came a well-earned second and has spent the vast majority of his time in Noosa Heads getting involved in both the contest and the evening’s activities.
The Noosa Festival is all about fun and healthy competition, and this was never more evident than in the third heat. Visiting Jersey surfer and guest commentator, Joe Davies, was out in the waves having an absolute ball, a larrikin of the lineup, matching the expertise of his surfing with the hilarity of his tomfoolery.
The third round of the Sebel Resort Noosa Men’s 40 and Over was owned by one man: Geoff Fanning. Fanning registered a very near perfect score, paddling in a little under 10 minutes clear of his heat-end, very rightly confident in the knowledge that his first place would remain secure. Fanning was already dry and supping a beer when the horn finally sounded.
Tomorrow brings the beginning of the end, semi finals abound for the whole day and a disparity of events crammed in from dawn to dusk.
Results for the day, and the week, are available on the event website, as well as draws for Thursday’s competition.
