Our own B&B mascot, all round motivator and lovely lady, Little Sarah, in her pink B&B cozzie infront of another glorious sunrise over Shelly Beach!
I’ve been doing the blog on Thursdays since November, and honestly there hasn’t been any rain or cloud since I started. Thursday mornings have been the best part of the week and now the sunrises are just before our swims. Plus the water is over 23 degrees. You have to swim on a Thursday!
Then it was a beautiful swim to Shelly without much chop, and a gorgeous sunny sky as we turned our head to the side to breathe.
We sing ‘Happy Birthday’ and Tomas does the ‘Le’s Go!’
And some lovely ones of birthday boy Tomas with Mum Anna, and Lori as we came in.
Tomas you promised me some birthday cake. Where was it?
Leswee and JK collected a bit of rubbish to help care for our bit of paradise, Cabbage Tree Bay.
What a happy looking lot were caught getting about to get changed, especially the mysterious one on the right.
Sorry Tim, Robbie, Mary, Leswee, Anna and Nick, Thursdays really have been the best days to blog…(It’s bound to rain next Thursday!)
And a couple of SC’s underwater shots.
Tomas underwater.

Great blog E-laine (but not as great as Leslie’s butt)
Happy 21st birthday Tomas.
Now you can legally drink, smoke and watch those naughty XXX vids in all of USA’s state (but don’t tell your mum)!
Hope the cooking classes are going great!
Go hard Tomas, go hard!

Yes, Tomas, thank you for swimming with us so that we could all celebrate with you!
Lainey, fab blog, pics, cartoons and package as usual and congratulations on out-sharking Stephen! Not that we’re a competitive bunch:-)

Ok I wasnt there but that blind shark really looks like a PJ – cant see its snout enough to know!
Love the blog Elaine and the fact that you get the great weather! Good on you – I think its your lovely sunshining friendliness that helps!
Gorgeous Butt ……Lesley.

Elaine: do you have a direct line to the Weather Goddess? If so, can I please put in an order for a nice sunny sunrise on the weekend!

Happy birthday Tomas, from Tony (a newbie). I’m the swimmer with L plates and I met you and your mum at Tuesdays dinner at The Bluewater. At 21 life and the world are at you feet. Dream big and set your vision for the future. Anything is possible.

lovely of you to say Sunny Snorks. I thought it was a PJ too (as if us Pommies are experts!) but others say a Blind Shark!

Thanks Little Sarah Mascot. Yes, great to outshark SC. You must feel good about ‘chicking’ Shauny, Storchy and Drinky in The PC!

Thanks Storchy but I am the one who promotes Leswee’s butt! Bit worried you haven’t been studying my cartoons close enough because I have had no comments or comebacks and you and your ‘Shady Mob or Pod’ feature in 3 of them!

They all need to pay up more! Guess they’ll be settling their debts when I leave town;-) Thx for Fish2 for clarifying it’s the non-competitive Pacific Challenge we’re talking about:-))
Look f/w to seeing you back in Aus next year, Trevor & Ann (Elaine’s parents)

Well said about her “lovely sunshining friendliness” :-)) That’s the thing about the group…..no matter what the weather or conditions. Always lots of smiles.

Laine désolé,
Jusqu’à présent j’ai seulement examiné le blog pour assurer les images du bout de Lesleys que je télécharge et rassemble dans un album.
J’ai été maintenant châtié, critiqué, cajolé et je promets de me comporter bien mieux à l’avenir.
Je reste prosterné dans la hummilité en votre présence.
Aimez les bandes dessinées chaque semaine et lisez la fin de support.
Veuillez m’excuser.

Non pas du tout. Si tu ne critique pas c’est le fin pour toi et ton petite ‘Shady Mob’!

Ik hoop dat Shauny en Drinky gaan ze leren ook als ik ben heel triste.

I asked Leswee to look at it as a lot of people access from Facebook and if it’s not on it blog hits are down. I think she must be busy (exercising her gluts probably!)
Alyson

Well those glut exercises are definitely paying off!
