It was a big day yesterday … whilst you are all waiting with great anticipation for my poorer cousins to arrive on Easter Weekend, I was toasting my own long established title, with a long lunch at Pilu.
Consequently, the only the swimming going on with me today is in my belly and a seven course menu with matching wines.
First things first … start the morning as you mean to go on, with a bit of double bagging.
Some shower scenes …
Followed by some morning wood …
I’m still recovering from JK’s efforts yesterday, which left me reaching for the The White Pages to make for a more interesting read 😉
JK: The only one not yawning
JP’s imparts his pre swim wisdom on Sterlings babies, with an explanation as to why you should “never ever date a guy like me” …
Sophie very kindly nominted herself as the person I always like to make sure is further out to sea than me ! 😉
So some of us made it through JK’s blog and waited at the point for the official “Let’s go” … (the rest of us are still in The White Pages at the letter “R”)
Guess the obligatory CLACKER ! 🙂
Looks like Rainer just did ! …. Looking smokin BTW Lips ! …
and clearly I’m not the only one that thinks so ! 😉
The A Team limbering up for a photo finish … Tim being quietly confident …
either that or turning the water a warm yellow for them 🙂
So we all know the deal with me and fish pictures…..Well, Elaine gave me a very useful tip the other day about switching on the under-water setting ….
And can I just say … the results were bl**dy brilliant !

Konsey, I love low-brow!
Set the expectations low aim at the 4 year old and you got half the worlds population behind you. Xxx

Big effort without actually swimming!
Tough act to follow after JK did such a funny blog yesterday.
Great fish pics too.
Thanks for taking the time?

Nice to get back in the water at Manly after a bit of an absence! I would like to put it “out there” that a certain swimmer from the Blue Mountains is offering her skills in
(gardening – she’s a horticulturist)in exchange for use of a tiny bit of space in your nearby pad (weekly/fortnightly?) Sometimes it’s just too far! BTW nice blog today!
