Happy Easter Everyone !!
Gotta love our new surprise cap… It works too, thank you ! 🙂
Over 101 Bold & Beautiful swimmers
Enjoyed a great morning together ! The sky’s are cloudy and there’s a bit of a breeze blowing but we had calmer, clearer seas again and the pleasure of 18 duskies, 2 yellow catfish, large blue gropers, a cuttlefish and a turtle for company !!
Oh and 3 rogue, mild bluies just for Brendan, Nick D and myself but we won’t talk about them.
Rosie was very excited to finally make it to swim with us all the way from Glenorie and then to have the bonus of randomly bumping into an old friend, Fifi made it well worth the drive 🙂
We were all well rewarded with our chocolate brekkie…
4 swimmers continued on for a double lap so that they could eat the extra eggs today 😉
A couple of lovely early photos from Gaetan too.
It’s gonna be sunny tomorrow, so it should be fantastic. Look forward to seeing you all in the morning to burn off a little of today’s treats. After all, as Stephen says…
One of our swimmers, Graham Kent has a spare ticket to see La Traviata at the Opera House tonight !! It’s a good seat which includes a drink but not dinner plus the bonus of Graham’s company 🙂 If you would like to join Graham to see this fabulous production tonight please phone him after 12.30pm today on 0408 591 498, first in best dressed so to speak.
One Off Opportunity at Glen St Theatre this Wednesday !!
At 2pm “Biddies” is having it’s final dress rehearsal. As this is a brand new play the director would like to invite an audience to sit in. This is completely free. While there may be some stops and starts it adds to the atmosphere of seeing the show unfold. Anyone interested should just turn up at Glen Street Theatre (cnr Glen Street & Blackbutts Road, Belrose) between 1.30pm and 1.50pm and tell the Box Office you’re there for the dress rehearsal. If anyone has any questions you can contact Mary on 8426 1802 from Tuesday morning.

Looks like you had a wonderful easter. In Sweden I woke up to see snow, but after work we went to the canoe club to paddle at the river. 🙂

What a delightful easter surprise to see the lovely Rosie. And all the fish put on a lovely display for her, as befitting a special day. 🙂

Did everyone see all those sharks this morning??? I was well out near the Bower break and don’t usually see them there. Must have been at least 20!! All sizes from half a metre up to at least a metre and a half

Michael. I used your tip today of grabbing the sand when being dumped. It works!!!!

Swedish Sarah – lovely to hear from you! I know you’ll be back:)
Fifi – if you’d told me your name was Fifi, rather than Fiona at breakfast, it would have all clicked that I was sitting next to the B&B star:-)) Glad to meet Rosie too.
So lovely to be back amongst you all – everyone is always so welcoming and a special treat this morning to have my niece and nephew, Becca & Ryan, in the water with me:-)))
Thanks for the Easter eggs and all the special little touches, Jules:-))))

Make that 4 rogue mild bluies. One was nice enough to kiss me across me face, but we won’t talk about that either. 😉
