After a hopeful day yesterday what with Maya’s success and Johnson resignation etc, I was sad and angry to see male behaviour on the beach. First it was 4 small boys who spent over an hour throwing sand at each other, with one coming up with genius idea of putting stones in the middle. I had to tell him not to do it before someone’s eye was put out, and eventually his mother also intervened. Despite plenty of alternative activities available, this was the only thing they wanted to do.
Then an older man came and stood near us talking into his phone , started scratching his arse and stroking his genitals. We managed to see him off by commenting loudly.
then two motor water scooters came into the beach area where people are swimming which is not allowed. They came in and out several times and took no notice of those telling them to go away.
in the space of three hours I was reminded again how this kind of behaviour is so common that it seems hardly worth commenting on. All males though.
