Back to today.  Renae ran the beach instead of going to Shelly, and finished off with a dip.  “Just teabagging it,” she says, of her swim.

Beware the Barb of Fate

 

Bench Cafe’s barista Hakan (above right) last year stepped on a small stingray in the harbour – near Fairlight beach.  He saw nothing when struck, and was in about two feet of water.  Hakan squeezed the tiny barb out immediately.  What was to follow would be several daily trips to hospital for intravenous drips; three courses of different antibiotics, plus visits to various doctors.  This photo was taken only last Friday; six weeks after the injury.  It looks like Hakan has months ahead of him yet, before attaining a decent recovery.  And yes; it is still so very massively swollen.  The black nail polish is one friend’s attempt at alternative healing with medicinal paint …

Oh, no! – not more about the old bloke.   He’s more popular than the Prime Minister.

LOST – LOST – LOST

Hi all

Someone must have accidentally picked up my hoodie this morning after the 7.00am swim.  One moment it was lying amongst the bags and the next moment it was gone.  It is dark grey and lightweight cotton. (Not the B&B one).   I was getting changed on the coffee shop side if the norfolk pine by the surf club.
Cheers
Dan

FOUND – FOUND – FOUND

John Rankin will return this Kathmandu top tomorrow morning.

“He said he didn’t mean it
And I never said he did …

… He said I mustn’t worry
T’was an accidental snatch
Of someone else’s windcheater
He’d mistaken for a match”

B&B and REDFEB Heart Research 2015

REDFEB is Heart Research Australia‘s signature fundraising campaign, raising funds for research into the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of heart disease.  They approach sporting groups across Australia, and ask them to log kilometres travelled onto a virtual map.  This year they have several Aussie maps: for cyclists, joggers, swimmers etc – with the mileage circumnavigating the land mass.

B&B will again be assisting this cause in 2015 by participating in the virtual REDFEB Relay and helping to lap the map of Australia!  Last year in February our Bolds swam over 8,700 km and raised $2,200.  Our aim this year will be to beat that figure.  After last February’s 8700 km and $2200, our aim this year will be to raise over $3,000. To view our B&B team page CLICK HERE
You can donate funds on the team page, or even better, you can create your own page where all your friends can donate towards the cause.  To create your own page and join the B&B team, just go to the team page and simply click “join”.  You will then be taken through the steps to create your own page.  On your own page you can input your kilometres and also raise funds.  All funds raised on individual pages will accumulate to the B&B team total.  Ian Forster has already raised $500, and the month is only three days old.  Thank goodness I’m not sponsoring Brendan Maher!

To highlight the fundraising, B&B will be going RED on
Valentine’s Day – Saturday 14th February
when we will be swapping our pink caps for RED ones.  This year, the Manly Beach Health Club has joined us and is sponsoring the red caps.  To help with your heart health, Manly Beach Health Club is also offering B&B members a free 30 min Personal Training session.  To find out how to take advantage of this offer, go to

PS:  Did anyone pick up my blue-striped top with hood and zipper front a week or so ago?  (It was a cold day, and maybe I left it at the Alzheimer benches)
