I am stuck down in Melbourne (more on that later…), but this morning at the swim…

Looks pretty good (thanks Lesley for the shots) – 155 swimmers in 22.7 degree water.
The balderdash crew enjoyed the cracking conditions…


Meanwhile the A-team gathered in Melbourne…

With a little dinner at Rockpool courtesy of Sterling’s 125 stay at the Crown…

And then the wheels fell off…

Have a great day and catch you soon.

I don’t know whether to be angry or happy!
First of all Timmy you credited me with the photos HOWEVER you didn’t actually use any of my photos but you did use Stephen Coulter’s (same surname but how did you mix us up??) 😉
Secondly: I took HEAPS of GREAT photos from MANLY but all we really got to see was a Bromantic Weekend Away in Melbourne!!

Great blog despite being away, Timo! Love the early shots especially and glad you guys are having fun recycling the same A Team jokes:)

Stunning morning. Well captured Tim. Fifth photo down: broccoli bombing the steak. Priceless!

Put your personal grievances aside Bubbles. Your ex-husband takes great photos.

Hi Tim
ignore those ferrets snapping at the heals of lion trying to bring him down. You’re above it; and very much appreciated by the silent majority for the immense effort you put in, even when away in Melbourne working. Good on you; you Golden Acorn you!

Lesley, that second photo is absolutely amazing and should win an award! Or at least make it into next year’s calendar! Makes me want to swim the bolder dash tomorrow! Love your work. Can’t wait to see more of your stunning photos in future blogs 🙂

Steve Coulter (No relation to LesBubbs) took the pic at 6.45 a.m, about 114 seconds after sunrise. Tattooed arm belongs to Baron von Rhiner Noack (Rhine Region, Deutschland)

I love this arm. I’ll take it out for dinner tonight, get it slightly drunk, and then home to bed.

Careful the arm doesn’t take advantage of you!

Careful you will be trying to gnaw it off in the early hours.

That’s not a steak. That’s half a cow on a plate.
