So much for the 80% chance of rain the forecasters were predicting for 7am… It was a cracker of a morning! Well done to the 80+ swimmers who came down to near perfect conditions! The water has dropped down a little to the 18s… but the days of 15 are well and truly over for another year!
I love a Bold and Beautiful wedding – we need to have more of them. This Saturday the wonderful Keith gets married to Tanya. I am looking forward to taking the wedding over at Mosman Rowers. If you are getting married though… you can’t go past Sophie Coombes – Sydney’s no.1 celebrant – www.sydneyscelebrant.com.au
Blessings Keith and Tanya from all your swim mates!
Apparently Sterling came in first at the 6:30am swim. I don’t know how anyone would ever guess this? Here he is either claiming victory or dancing to the BeeGees.
I’ll never forget when Dave left Manly for a while we all wondered how we would ever find a funny, handsome, wealthy, good swimmer to replace him… Oh hello Buck!
Well now we have both of them swimming together. The world is a better place.
Finally we welcome our new overlords in Canberra. And who is that tall, tanned, athletic statesman in the background. Why hello Bruce!
Have a great day.
The Fat Bishop.

That last photograph raises many more questions that it answers. The one I will go with for the time being is “What is it with our recent PMs and red speedos?”

When a single lady offers to show me her lobster, one has to wonder.
Great blog Bishop. Disturbing sign-off pic.

I must emphasise here what Lainey actually meant is “A” pad or condom not MY pad/ condom!
