There was great marine life out there this morning too: a shovel nose shark and a fiddler ray – nice 🙂

Great photo by James this morning !

    I was reminded of the swim this morning when I leant over to press the lift button in a full lift at work and 4 litres of water ran out my nose … it was very funny 🙂

    Hey Michel, that’s too funny, gotta love it when that happens and the people around you have no understanding – love it 🙂
