50 ‘ticked’ Bold & Beautiful swimmers.
The rumblings of thunder and flashes lighting up the sky at 6.30 this morning kindly settled down and cleared the way for our beautiful swim.
9 swimmers enjoyed a second lap.
90 swimmers have currently qualified for their 2011 winter badge !! Only 17 winter swims left to go, another 110 swimmers could still qualified although 62 of those need to swim soon….
check out if that is you as you don’t want to miss out !! 😉
Michael Christie looks like he’s enjoying John Bond’s post swim warming up treatment a little too much, I’m getting a bit worried… 😉
Channel 7 weather was broadcast live from South Steyne at 7.30am filming Nippers on the beach. Gaetan Guilhon confirmed from the comfort of his unit as he watched the TV that he saw some B&B’s getting out of water at the back :-). What was Gaetan doing at home and not swimming !?
Happy 21st wedding anniversary to Christine and Malcolm Armour !! 🙂
Robin Turner called in to visit my parents and ended up kindly taking them on tour for the day as can be seen from the B&B on tour photo below, taken at Lowestoft in Norfolk, UK.

Can’t swim Jules hurt my shoulder while skiing. But I must say that staying in bed on a rainy morning always is a good feeling 🙂
Check out those two cool videos of a sneezing panda and dolphins with bubble rings, very nice!
