Mornin’ all. Inner Westies here. Fi1, Fi2 and Mickey are doing a triathlon down at Husky so it’s Emma and international photographer John reporting live from Manly today! Some important notices upfront first.
RED FEB FUNDRAISING RACE – Heart Research Australia
Heart Research Australia would like to thank all those who participated on Saturday in the Red Feb race. But the fundraising race between our two teams is just hotting up and will continue over the whole of February. The “Race” is between our own two teams: The A TEAM and TEAM OMEGA.
The collection boxes on Saturday just favoured Team Omega, who raised $150.40 compared to the A Team total of $122.35. This trend is continuing in the On-line donation, with Team Omega edging further ahead:
A Team = $310
Team Omega = $568
You can donate funds to your chosen team on the team page, or even better, you can create your own page where all your friends can donate towards the cause. Hurry up A-Teamers, jump in quickly and support your team.

Also, don’t forget, our friends at Manly Beach Health Club, who are again sponsoring the RED FEB event, are offering a FREE 30 min Personal Training session to our members. This is a great way to kick start your New Years health goals. Click here to download your FREE voucher.

Great blog Emma. Love the photos – so many beautiful swimmers. Also like the one of JK.
Welcome back Emer! And hello Rick! Emer used to swim with her previous boyfriend, Robbie. But he was rubbish at it. So I’m not surprised it didn’t last.

Nice one Em, ignore Rainer like the rest of us try and do. He’s only in it for the exposure

Great shots of the trip. Lovely swim and Gillian did see some duskies – I don’t know which of her many laps – near the rocks. I could not see a thing except for Inge marvelling at my swim- like activity!

If that wasn’t so hilarious I would be annoyed.

Great blog Emma! It was especially nice to feature on the inner-westies blog 🙂
Brilliant Rainer! Great to see you on point with your photo-bomb as every.
JK, classic photo! Very military. Were you speaking to Rainer directly with that pose?
