Filling Time

There can’t be many dentist’s chairs from which you can sit and watch migrating humpback whales.

John Nevell’s surgery in Coffs Harbour overlooks the jetty, the marina and many acres of the Pacific Ocean so you can scan the ocean for a few minutes before he reclines the chair and gets down to business and powers up the drill. I didn’t see any today but Debbie, his assistant told me that she saw three pods go past yesterday.

A few days ago, Sara and I sat on the headland to the south of Sandy Beach and saw a fine display of breaching, blowing and tail-waving.
