August 11 – Legs 11!, Adj. Used to describe a woman’s legs as sexy. Rhymes with legs that go all the way up to heaven. Today’s blog is dedicated to the legs of the B&B.
Legs of all shapes and sizes emerging for another totes mazeballs swim
As do other well known legs and friendly rays enjoying the view…
Off to Shelly with perfect viz…
And the legs enjoy their Shelly activities…
Some are on the lookout for DWTS (Dolphin Whisperer Teddy Stealer)
And take no chances..
BLOG BOMB ALERT BLOG BOMB ALERT
In a Sunday blog exclusive (again), hot news from Germany….
Contrary to what most mainstream history books will tell you, it wasn’t The
Hoff but Lips who brought down the Berlin Wall in 1989. His bungled 25m
breaststroke swim in a small East Berlin public pool inspired young people
from Moscow to Washington and, eventually, lead to the end of the Cold War.
Fact. Here are the Lips’ photos from his recent celebrated return…
The fish are amused (or afraid)
Another superb swim!
Stats:
Swimmers: 187
Newbies: 6

Sunset: 5:21pm

Sacha’s Tips (Manager of Blue Water)
1. If you order eggs, don’t eat someone else’s porridge!
2. If you order coffee, don’t drink someone else’s tea.
3. If food or drink is put in front of you that’s not yours, please tell someone 😉
Sacha’s legs!!!!
City to Surf Update
Congratulations to all the B&B Sydney to Surfers who really used their legs today, here’s an update from our Bondi correspondent…
James Pittar
James Pittar is a blind marathon swimmer and he is swimming 12km from Long Reef to North Steyne via Shelly Beach. He would love for 100 swimmers to join him for the last 2km (From Shelly Beach to North Steyne Beach) and raise funds and awareness for The Fred Hollows Foundation. His condition caused him to go blind when he was in his 20’s but he knows how many people are out there in the world that are needlessly blind.

Wow! A different blog to say the least SC. Amazing photography! Snorkles is going to be busy identifying all those legs for The Spreddy!
Love Sacha’s tips at the end. I was enjoying myself so much at brekkie I remembered when i got home I actually forgot to have brekkie!! (Who ate mine??)
It looks like Roz and Peta are going to Nepal in 3 weeks to volunteer helping scrub down mouldy hospital walls and help Dr Ray and his team restore dignity to women suffering the most appalling condition, genital prolapse. We must get behind them. They need to raise $1000 each to cover costs when they are there.
Happy Sunday everyone!

Great blog today.
Love the theme – can’t wait for other body-part themes of the future!
Perfect conditions today – the amazing conditions mean you don’t notice the cold!

More from Sacha. From tomorrow, a large cup of coffee will cost 50c extra (something to do with new larger cups I think). cost of small coffees and breakfast will stay the same. Breakfast was delicious Elaine.

I can only guess my legs by my bib number!!

I’m so impressed with that parade of lovely legs: they are all so shapely and toned!
Also impressed with the Lips-bomb: showing such “flair” in donning the pink cap and posing in front of the Brandenburg Gate.

Tired of taking those long, shapely, toned legs on every swim and to every Ball?
Don’t blame you…must get boring!
Always hankered after a pair of Storchy Boot-camp legs or the Hairy Poodle pair?
You don’t have to wait ’til your next life. We can help!
Contact *New* Triad-Trade in Body-Parts for reasonably-priced exchange of limbs or give your deposit to Lips when he’s finished officiating in Berlin.
(Stephen can show you a photo of what to expect for a small additional fee!)
