The morning started off with Ted and Crew deciding to face their fears and swim to Queensie, after their Chopper encounter earlier this week……
Chopper hovering overhead whilst you are swimming = shark!!
Another beautiful sunrise! And the sun was warm too – air not so much around 10 degrees and water around 18.9!
Guess the ears?
It’s also Mother’s Day!
Rainer aka Lips was supposed to do the blog but swapped with me so he could give his wife breakfast in bed BUT he still managed to swim! Here’s Renae dressed ‘like a mother’ hitting Lips with a rolling pin..we all feel like doing that to him..
Not sure what is happening here?!
Sarah and her son Fraz(s)er
Jenny…
and Henrietta..not sure why they were happy to don the apron and hold the rolling pin… 🙂
Here’s Nick with his really cute sons – they are waiting for their mum to come back from swimming …holding their Mother’s Day presents for her..
If when entering the cold-water you feel like swearing…apparently IT’S COMPLETELY NATURAL!
MythBusters say: Dealing with pain by not swearing doesn’t have the same effect, you must swear!…watch this:
Speaking of wanting to swear… look at these 2 clowns..
Here’s Jane..the mother of all muthers
This is Natasha from the Ukraine – she is still a bit scared to swim by herself so is always looking for company…
John gave the Mothers a 10 second head start…
It was starting to get cold at Shelly – the sun has disappeared and I for one was shivering..
Another mum, Sophie..
Sarah and her young son, he’s only 8!!
Margot of da Blue Mountains on left..and Jo on the right
L’il Ed..
The ears were Juno’s! The friendliest dog….a bit like a dog version of Lips…
Have a great day everyone and especially all the mums!
Signing off Lesbubbles..

Who on earth can that be between Margot and Jo? Why has his face been fuzzed out? You’ve already failed the No Lips Photobomb test Lesbubbles.

Good spotting Jane! The blog camera has actually been programmed to automatically blur out Lips should he bomb a photo..
