I loved the ‘nose smack’ photo Lesbubbles! This could start a trend (or not). And what WAS Rainer stuffing in his budgies? So many mysteries …

He was stuffing his other cap in his budgies….he said “to carry home”…but my guess there is another reason?? He does have to keep his Female Harem of 6.59’ers happy! 😀

I’m ok after returning from hospital to have a splint put up my nose after Lesbutt smacked it. It would have helped if I wasnt gasping for air as I saw exactly what Lips was smuggling in his budgies!!!
Oh and the only day i DON’T take my camera and spot the Wobby both on the way out AND in (I’ll thank myself for pointing it to those interested!) AND you are right Lesbutt …the occy is super cool!

Yay! Jules coming back on my blog day. Try and make it everyone! Shame Mr C prefers to swim with The Polar Bears 🙁 Lovely photo of Vicky. She is so generous donating those pink caps.

Superb swim!
Let me clarify, I was merely ‘stuffing’ my old B&B cap into my budgies after having purchased one of the new silicon caps from Lesbutt.
I promised Lesbutt a customer testimonial on the new silicon caps. So here it comes:
“I was very happy with my purchase of B&B pink cap v2.0. The thicker material made the swim most enjoyable. The service was excellent, with Lesley personally instructing me on how to put on the cap and where to stuff my old model. On my way to Shelly, I had a great number of swimmers complimenting me on my new cap. In summary, I highly recommend the new cap to all readers.”

Oh that’s my excuse for coming back to Hong Kong too:)
Michael, how about coming back for a 10K swim with Jon if you don’t need the haircut?

Naughty:-)
Remind me to tell you all about the friendly, stray dog I named “Lips” in Thailand. He’d come by barking loudly to wake us all up, start accompanying me for my early morning hike, waiting at each corner, but then run off to join every other young lady:-))

I dare not ask why Michael is growing hair on his other hand?
