Some Sunday mornings you wake up and think, would’t it be wonderful to just turn over and drift back to sleep.
Now, that’s OK for the rest of you but us poor overworked and underpaid Sunday bloggers do not have that luxury.
Our Sunday blog boss, Gemma, is usually at the front door, cattle prod at the ready to ensure that the luxury of a Sunday sleep-in is never even considered.
Today, the wind is still NNE and blowing onshore, probably rough conditions, maybe even bluebottles.
Well today is the day I make a stand against the tyrannical regime that Gemma has instituted.
I’m sure that everyone is raving about a wonderful swim but do you know where I am?
Yep, still tucked in trying to ignore the fact that Gemma will be scouring the streets of Manly wanting to extract revenge for me not fulfilling my sacred Sunday blog duties.
Anyway, right now for me it is “Easy, Just Like Sunday Morning”.
So here is a little something I prepared earlier.
Stats:
Temp: don’t really care
Swimmers; don’t know
Newbies: probably a few
The Monthly Dinner – 12th November 2019 – Guest Speaker
The Next B&B monthly dinner for the year will be held on Tuesday 12th Novemober at 6.30 pm at Bluewater Restaurant. Our guest on the night will be Allan Sparkes CV, OAM, VA FRSN, who is one of only 5 Australians in the past 44 years to be awarded the Cross of Valour (CV), Australia’s highest bravery decoration. Allan will speak about “What is the rarely recognised element of courage and why is it so important today?” Is courage about overcoming fear? willingness to risk your all, an inner strength? perhaps it is about choice, leaving a place of safety to go to a place of danger? But how often do we consider courage is about the willingness to care. In his talk Al Sparkes will touch on the times he has had to be courageous to help others and the times he stopped caring about himself. And what he did to recover his life from the pits of hell.
Please book early for this event as it is sure to be popular. The cost of the dinner is great value at only $25 a head, which includes shared entrees, and a selection of mains to choose from (including a vegetarian option). Glasses of beer or wine and desserts are also available at the special price of only $5 each. Numbers are limited, so bookings are essential. To avoid disappointment and secure your spot please book at www.boldandbeautifulmanly.com.

Wonderful, Michael! I think actually turning up for the swim is so overrated and (as you’ve shown) totally unnecessary.
PS I’m reading this from my bed. Enjoy your easy Sunday!

Okay you’ve got an over-fat tummy (most of the time) Thunderbird, but this was seriously fun to watch and listen. Natural bold actors captured in scintillating pageantry…beautifully done!

Yes. Gemma seems so nice but she treats Sunday bloggers like sweatshop workers.

You’d better get back to work Michael or I’ll have to withhold your 20c bonus.

You won’t fool me again. I now know the difference between 5 cent and 20 cent pieces.
