LOVE …. written in the sand
Despite the what I sense, after a quick chat with the people of the B&B is the republican leanings of our tribe, there is a little bit of extra love in the air. With a Royal Wedding today, there has been a little more excitement than your average Saturday including
DOLPHIN’S
It might be hard to see, however as we schlepped, uggbooted toward the beach a cry of ‘DOLPHIN’S’ was made by Cammeray Annie.
The change rooms were a chatter with swimmers who had been close to these beautiful creatures. Cammeray Kate commented maybe it was Meghan and Harry escaping the paps”.
Swimming conditions were sublime, 18 degrees might be getting chilly for some, but the gorgeous hues of orange and pink, played a trick on my mind and gave me a warm feeling, a glow to take into Saturday sports activities various.
THERE WERE ‘SWIMMERS IN ARMS’
Cammeray Kate, Annie and Roz, terrific car companions and swimmers, we had planned to brainstorm some great blog ideas instead debriefed the week that was….. maybe next time.
B&B – SOLVING THE PROBLEM OF THE DAY
Meghan needs some one to walk her down the aisle, there were some men on offer at the B&B(is there nothing they won’t do !!! Don’t pick Charles, what about Drinkie(welcome back) What about John ? or Dorset? Being a Barbie, I pick Ken for the job…looked at that exhuberance.
GO WELL ALL OUR BONDI TO WATSON’S BAY SWIMMERS
May your seas be calm, your strokes long, and your winds, in your favour.
AND MAGIC MICHELLE”S 1000 KM’s …..CONGRATULATIONS

What a boon for the royal wedding to have coverage in this blog. Lucky them. I do feel relief. When you said most B.B. were republican I was thinking who amongst us supports Trump?!
