Special Announcement:
Inside the Tardis IV
The Doctor (Shane) : “You call that flying the TARDIS? Jack (my puppy) could have done better [scoffs] Ha!”
The Doctor Shane (47 yrs old): “Welcome aboard the Tardis IV”
Simon: “Okay, I’ve mapped the probability vectors, done a foldback on the temporal isometry, charted the ship to its destination……”
The Doctor Shane: “You parked us in the middle of Cabbage Tree Bay?!!##** But at least MSB approve of the Tardis IV being moored here.
Simon: “Doctor Shane, what of your time travels”
The Doctor Shane: “The Tardis (steel hull) was built in Sydney in the 1970s. I bought her on the Whitsundays about 5 years ago.I’m back in Sydney to take my 8 yr old daughter to the Zoo. I was able to use my dingy to help MBS remove the seal carcass before your swim a few days ago”. “I plan to head north as soon as the nor’ easter arrives”.
The Doctor: “The Tardis, when working properly, is capable of many amazing things, not unlike myself. One of it’s functions is that it can change shape to blend in perfectly into it’s surrounding environment”.
The Doctor Shane: “I hear the Pink capped hoards echoing through the hull as soon as they come around the point, quite a racket. They even swim in the DARK”.

Fantastic! What a great sport Dr Shane and pup Jack are too:-) I love having the Tardis in our midst – did you persuade the Dr to put on a pink cap?
And I had a quick recovery from coralitis (aka halfwayitis) after that kiss of life 🙂
? with Lee on a dark swim is Sylvia who celebrated her 40th anniversary with Reg the other day.
Talking of Syliva, she found a plastic container full of lotions and medications in the ladies’ public changing room after the 6.30 swim. We’ve given it to Ian, so check with him if it’s yours.

Interesting and unique blog Simon and our swimmers look brilliant first thing in the morning! (Lesbubbs looks particularly gorg). I still don’t understand how the Tardis is allowed to moor in CTB though?? I’ll donate a night at Whale Beach B&B!

Marvellous and witty Blog Simon.
Talking of lost property, I left a small white towel with pink roses round the edge on the table on Sat. Any finders?

The only pics of Lesbubbles I can see, her head is wrapped in hair or towelling. She looks much more gorgeous without either!

I can’t believe that you got an invitation to inspect the inside of the Tardis! Very cool!
