Admit it. You’ll miss me when Im gone!
This is my penultimate blog, only one more to go…..
Actually, Bruce Bairds latest restraining order against Monday Blog is the straw that broke the camel’s back so management gave me the option to leave rather than getting the sack officially. 😉
(If you are interested in taking over and cleaning up the pile of nonsense that is Monday blog, please email me at robert.byrne00@gmail.com or talk to Ian/Lesley/JK.)
But what will I miss about Mondays? Im sure there is something I just cant remember right now….
The dreary dull mornings?
Lesley’s warm cuddles every Monday?
Cropping pictures out of context to make them look inappropriate?
Shauny getting ignored by women?
Wet, cold, Man hugs from Drinky?
Those raging, breaking, big surf waves?
Taking those ground breaking, award winning underwater wildlife shots?
Saving Bruce Baird from drowning every week because he always forgets his floaties?
Those boring, normal, swimmers?
Capturing moments, like when someone gets stung in the head?
Annie and Bella’s underwater ballet spectacular?
Cold, lonely, uninviting Shelly?
Rainer? (Im not 100% sure if this is Rainer, but definitely the same swimming costume as him)
Lastly, my adoring fans?
Here are 3 gorgeous Blogsterettes after completing their first Boulderdash with the beautiful LSA.
Congrats Blogsterettes!
See you all tomorrow night!
Keep swimming and smiling

Fantastic blog Robster! I’m chuckling away here in Bali. You’ve captured it all! We’ll miss your blogs so much. Well done 4 1/2 km champs. Miss you all but having a lovely time here xx

Oh Robbie! I’ll miss your stirring start to the week. Monday’s just won’t be the same. . .
Lovely swim except for all those jelly fish!

Very funny! We’ll look forward to your Special Guest Appearance Blogs, Robbie!
Amazing job, Blogsterettes – not only their first bolderdash, but on to Shelly and back as well – taking the jellies, shark-chatter, big surf…..all in their stride!
Actually, we were just lucky, because some people who sped ahead did get stung and I heard that at least one had to abandon his bolderdash as a result. Moral: Stick with the Slowies!
Lips, I did suggest Rob photo-shop you into the pic but he refused to believe you’d swum this morning:-)

Rumour has it that you’ve very kindly offered to change days and take-over the Mon blog! So, it’s guaranteed to stay as an amazing start to the week:-))
And if rumour is right, congratulations to Jeff with a J for kindly agreeing to be the Tues Blogger!
It’s a really great service to the B&B (and its wider fan-club) that all the Bloggers provide! Thank you all again.

Hi Lainey, where are the chuckling-on-tour in Bali pics? Hope you’re all having fun and looking forward to bolderdashes and 6Ks with you and Ted!

Great swim this morning all, what a morning. Made even better by the fact that I got my wet-suit back after leaving it in the public changing rooms 3 weeks ago!! Thanks Lesley for all your help.
Lessons learned – 1. Write your name on your wet-suit 2. Read the blog more regularly and you will hear about these things 3. Swim more regularly and you’ll notice you’ve lost your stuff!! Thanks to the surf club peeps for keeping it for me – good karma is coming your way 🙂

Oh Robbie! We will ALL miss your Monday Blog Spectacular!
Congratulations to the Bolder-debutantes on not getting eaten, stung, or dumped in that huge surf this morning. A stirling effort by y’all.

Yes Robbie, we will miss your blogs. Who are we going to sarcastically criticise now?
The lady blogsters are far too nice.
Lainey, Legsly, Renae, Mary, Snorks, they are all so nice, and write beautifully.
Joe comes off the reserve bench and does well,
We can’t pay out on Nick, its too easy and not really a sport. Like shooting koalas.
Thank you for your blogster service and your selfless giving back to the community.
At least Mondays blog will be more interesting now. Hehehe

Truth be told Emer, we’ve used it as a spare wetsuit over the last three weeks. Pretty much everyone has worn it at least once at this stage. I would give it a good wash if i was you..
Lips
02/12/2013 at 2:46 pm
Thanks LSA. Did Robbie actually swim today? Couldn’t see him anywhere near Shelly.
Lips
02/12/2013 at 2:51 pm
Hear hear!
You’ll be missed Robbie. Thanks for all the hard work. It didn’t always look like much, but I know you gave it all. And that’s what counts.
There’s will always be an awkward man hug waiting for you at Shelly!

Well I for one will NOT miss Robster the blogster – one too many awful photos of me /sarcastic-cutting remarks for my liking! ;-p
I suppose it’s all down to me now to put up the inappropriate photos …who else will do it!
Robbie I hope you will still continue to come over on the weekends and see us?? It won’t be the same without you! 🙁

02/12/2013 at 3:05 pm
oh wow Emer you got it back??? That’s great! And yes
everybody – put your name in your gear! Seriously …do it now!!
