For today’s blog you really need to have young kids in your life who love “Tangled” – Disney’s latest version of Rapunzel.
Note – in keeping with the Rapunzel theme there will be no ‘wet hair’ shots today.

When will my life begin?
7 AM, the usual morning lineup
Fifi waving in this mornings sunrise @6.05
Clair, Ali & my Jo – Sabine – Leveena & Fifi
Start on the chores and wipe ’til your goggs all clean
Swim to the point, for the chat and “let’s go” speed up
Stroke again and by then it’s like 7.15
And so I’ll spot a friend
? & Jill
Or maybe two or three
Ann & Jenny – Amy (Miles real wife), Alison (Miles’wife away from home) & Nicole (channel swimmer handler extraordinaire)
I’ll add a few more faces
To my gallery
Lucy, Sarah, Sophie, Rob
I’ll stand around and chat-
And look and basically
Just wonder when will my life begin?
And then I’ll brush and brush
And brush and brush my hair
Stuck in the same place I’ve always been
Krystyna & Nicki – Bride & Canadian Grace – Izzy, Mahdi, Jenny &Jenny – Miles Family – Sandy & Attracta
Congratulations Billy on your 500kms badge. Lovely to meet your Princess Celine.
And I’ll stop wanderin’ and wanderin’
And wanderin’ and wonderin’
‘Cos this is how my life begins?
Ali spotted Rapunzel’s brown Prince Charming Wobby 100m from Shelly. But who’s next to him? I do believe is it the blonde and beautiful Rapunzel!!!!
What way to begin the day!!!!!!
Have a great week……

Firstly there were WAY too many females in this blog – thankfully Kelly covered the males yesterday and Secondly, BILLY has a wife????**
** reference: Shaun Denton (aka DWSS) …same comment was said to him at the 2012 BnB christmas party.
Great Wobbie photos Simon – 2 different types/colours at the same time – priceless!!

A couple of people left jackets at his house on Sat night. A black one with a ‘fur’ trim around the face and a khaki one. Contact him or this blog to arrange a reunion with your jacket. Thanks

Haha Bubs.
It wasn’t the “You have a wife??” Question Bubs, it was your exagerated surprise and the next comment that was the money shot – “Kept that quiet” In front of V. 🙂
Lucky for me, V was coming down and having coffee with us all for months previously. 🙂
So same for Billy, did you miss the mankini of the bucks party day fame?
I’m sure someone has it on file. 🙂 you need to keep up with the goss Bubs. Seriously! Haha
Great blog Simon, the Wobbi shots are fantastic.
