The morning doesn’t have to wait for the best time to show itself. It just happens, at dawn, every day. There isn’t a list of things it has achieve before it feels worthy of being…
It shows up and makes the day. Ready or not here I am and , love me or love me, you better get used to it. Cos I’m doing it tomorrow and then again. Every day will be different, but still uniquely me. That what nature does.
You are nature, shine bright.

Staying safe
Remember that there are no badges for scaring yourself silly! While it is great to extend your boundaries, it is important to know your limits.

I told Aki to check out his photo on the blog yesterday. He didnt even know we have a website!
It was his 5th swim today and he’s loving it. He was meant to go back to Tokyo tomorrow but is trying to extend his stay to enjoy a few more swims with us..

Wow what amazing images Andrew. Those clouds were like bundles of cotton wool floating above us. Beautifully captured. So glad I didn’t press ‘snooze’ this morning…our swim never disappoints does it?! Crossing fingers & eyes peeled for Sparkles ‘Bolds’ jumper. Jump on the B&B website ‘Events’ to get a seat to the Bluewater dinner… will be a fun night 🙂

Yet again superb photos on our blog. Thank you Magic Hands and all the accomplished photographers amongst us. Todays shots of ‘dappled sky’ are so pretty and images 3&5 look like synchronised swimming!

Lovely pics, Andrew. Appreciate the consistent beautiful Monday morning blogging by you and Simon!
***Note to IAN & Management: If Sparkles’ hoodie doesn’t turn up in the next couple of days or so, Jon & i would like to replace her badges. I think you have some spare stock for most. Let us know if you prefer an iou, a Triad loan arrangement or a direct transfer from Vietnam Triad Headquarters:-))
Sparkles, easy to lose and easy to replace, don’t worry! xxx

Great to see Errol Swimmer of the Day. He was a rather brilliant Union player in his day too! Waratahs an’ all.

Thanks Elizabeth,
Yes, that one with the 3 swimmers’ arms was a lucky shot.
I really like the one with the people waiting to do the double… The light on the water and the intention of the second lap, as if to honour the rising sun.
