The beachline yesterday was an intimidating translucent purplish blue … many people looked; but didn’t swim

Someone saw something on Wednesday morning …

The blueys were creating a bleak scenario. But – As Brian said (in 1979) – perhaps we should “Always look on the bright side of life …”

Two close-ups of the many thousands of tiny bluebottle pups (about size of matchheads) … These are what stung Scotty when he lay down on apparently bare sand yesterday.

Lisa: “I’ve forgotten my wallet.”

Lisa: “Thank you Bill. I’ll have a coffee grande, two bags of fruit toast and a pie. And one of those gingerbread men to go.”
Bill: “Annie – is Lisa up for her free coffee yet?”

Just as Alex is telling me of the day ten tons of bluebottles carved a vicious swathe through a swim race (several nearly suffocated; all ambulances used up by victims; etc – a stunning tale) … What’s this? A shiny wetsuit? No – spankin’ black dacks!

No way Wogar!!! You are not allowed to stop next week. You’ve got to give 6 months notice – small print (a little too small for eyes over 50) in blog T’s and C’s!

Wojah ! Great Blog as usual but misrepresenting my good intentions towards Audrey Hepburn casts a dark shadow on all your writings.
However, I will miss your Blog and promise I’ll bring you a cake with a file in it.
Love you mate xxxx

JK, another high profile blogger is leaving the team. We need to do something about talent retention.
I like your ideas around free Bluewater brekkies and daily foot massage by fellow swimmer of choice. Let’s develop this further.
Marco – you made your point. Feel free to put the wetsuit back on.

You know Roger you could always do a quick blog! These massive creative blogs you do are great but if they taking you too long etc then you’ve ..ahem .. only yourself to blame. Seriously we get what we get – whatever the blogger can do is fine by us – look at Tim’s on Thursday …takes him 10 minutes 😉

Hilarious as usual:-))
We can see the point – must be hard to fit any work into your blog day(s) – always seemed like the ideal job til now….
Yeh, follow Lesbubs’ advice and do a Timmy quickie….. it’ll still be amazing! Could even be a prefab blog – we’ll delight in any crumbs….
