At last, a nice, calm, relaxed beach where we can enjoy ourselves and build sancastle mountains in style.

Ooh, look at the brand new beach...I suddenly feel so relaxed, I think I have to sit down and read in the sun for a while.
Now where did I put my towel? Wait, here it is.

*DD strolls in with Loganberry Jam Doughnut (still warm) to catch some rays before his lunch break is over*
Ah a nice quiet beach. Lays down towel and wanders off to investigate new vistas.

Thanks. Great sandcastle!
It's Pratchett, the Colour of Magic - my first 
I only have 10 pages or so left, but I don't really want it to end, you know?

Well freedom I wouldn't worry to much you've got 25 more to go so it won't finish for a wee while yet.

Wow! So relaxing! Just let me get a 
from http://www.h2g2.com/forumframe.cgi?forum=24306&thread=37642 and a donut or two from http://www.h2g2.com/forumframe.cgi?forum=26840&thread=37772 and I'll be right back, with my special sand-resistant towel.

Where should I dig the hole this time?

Demon Drawer Posted Feb 1, 2000
Just plie it on top of the sandcastle I've been building down by the rock pools DEvand we might make it Everest size this time. It'll over shadow Mt. Sandcastle but at least we can still ski in the meantime.

*arrives from previous beach and several days of offline-ness carrying a large drink from the F&F, and a bucket. (You know, one of those special sandcastle ones with the towers on the bottom)*
I've got just what we needed!
*Looks at the size of the sandcastle. Thinks. Leaves.*
*Arrives again at the wheel of a large JCB. Gets out*
*Sets about the front bucket with a very large hammer, eventually standing back to admire the small inverted towers now moulded into the metal*
*Digs up a load of sand and begins carrying it over to the soon-to-be-everestial sandcastle.*

*See JCB*
I was wondering where I left those. I think the other one is under a snow drift on Mt. Sandcastle.

Ah right...
Well, I'm off for a swim. There aren't any jellyfish, are there, TV?

The Researcher formally known as Dr St Justin Posted Feb 1, 2000
OK. I'm back, armed with my sand-proof towel. I think I'll just put it down...
*sees JCB, and hurridly moves away from it*
...over here. Well, I must say it's a lovely view (apart from the JCB). I'm well prepared with a cold and a donut, but I think I'd better put an order in for another few donuts.
*lies down and relaxes*

Always a good idea... I like a nice relaxing day on the beach.

And it's nice to know that you'll have a steady flow of food and drinks. Of all sorts...

Bluebottle Posted Feb 1, 2000
True - and if the food doesn't exist - you can always invent it!

*E walks onto the beach carrying an armload of donuts for Justin. She spys the sandcastle and JCB...*
Oh no...not *again*? I wondered what you were talking about earlier DD...
Perhaps I'll help again later, but not now...*E lies down on the beach and sighs with pleasure.*

*Bluebottle is scheming...*

*E can feel herself drifting off, but BB's voice brought her back...*
*Why* would you want to know when I was asleep? What are you planning BB?
*E doubles her efforts to stay awake.*
