A bit nippy

Our Indian Summer appears to have finally left us, with morning air temps around the 10 degree mark. The good thing is this morning’s water temp of 18.4 degrees felt very tolerable. And winter mornings are always lovely.

The usual suspects and some newbies gathering for the swim.

Ashleigh had the right idea with the 3 litre bottle of hot water

Braving the elements

So fast…..

At Shelley I try to get lots of people shots

Paloma’s back!

No cuttlefish, wobbegongs, cuttlefish or duskies today. I did hear of a turtle sighting though.

Please wear your best Christmas paraphernalia on the night. Theme and dress up your table for the chance to win a prize. It will be a fun night, so don’t miss out!  First in best dressed… If everyone is very well behaved, we may get a visit from Santa himself.

Funds raised will support both the Royal Far West and the B&B, two great causes.

IMPORTANT NOTICE:

What am / was I listening to? Yesterday I attended Bob Hawke’s funeral. Unable to get a ticket inside my colleague and I sat on the Opera House forecourt steps  and watched it on the Big Screen. It ended with the SSO playing The Land Down Under, led by the amazing William Barton on didgeridoo. Apparently Bob was fond of that song.

Here is the video of the performance.

What the heck here’s another part of the morning

Vale Bob. Thanks for Medicare. And the Franklin. And trying to save the global environment.
