12/01/15 – Liberty Equality Fraternity

Our new year’s resolutions often focus on the destination, the result we wish to attain.  So focussed are we upon these gratifications, that little thought is left for the struggles involved in actually achieving such lofty goals.  Perhaps this is the real reason that new year’s resolutions often fail.

How much responsibility do you accept for your liberty, what priviledge did you forego for equality, how much ego have you dissipated in the name of fraternity?  You say you want a revolution.  Well, add some resolve to your resolution.

Liberty, Equality, Fraternity…  Bold and Beautiful.

Namaste to you

Warm smooth and clear water. Comfy swim despite the grey

A couple of congratulations.
Here is Sylvia who celebrated her 40th birthday with the 6am crew today.

Also happy birthday to Valerie, Veena’s long time pen pal, who is over here swimming with Lawrence, enjoying the conditions and spotting a few duskies with The Dolphin Whisperer.

Thanks to Shaun and Simon for helping with the photos.

Warm Regards,
Andrew ‘Magichands’ Maher.
