Yes… not long now and it will be perfect again! See it only takes a week to sort itself out!
Although, I did notice the fish are feeling very exposed from their lack of seaweed to hide behind…the rocks are looking very bare!
So look how fab it is!!!
Are you ‘board’? Swim with BnB and you never will be again!
Who needs Hugh Jackman when we have our very own John Jackson!
What could be just an ordinary photo came to life when I zoomed in on it…and strangely what people are thinking !!
THIS is what colour those jellies are – not “stephen” pink!! 😀 They were everywhere today and a fair few waiting for us at the Point!!!
James P did the Let’s Go call today…and so elegantly….below is a re-enactment as my camera jammed the first time!!
The blog tarts came out all blurry today – not sure what’s going on?? hehehehe
This flipper below needs a home! Size 6 – 7 (USA) – He will go with anyone! He can be a ‘backup’flipper (as he can go on any foot), a companion to your other flippers, or just sit in your BnB swim bag! Pls see me, Lesley, as I will only carry him around for another week! (then it’s the BIN!)

Fab blog as usual Lesbutt. But take note:
There is a fine swimmer named John:
His 6-packs are second to none.
The girls all grow weak
At his stunning physique
and technique – OMG! – but which one?

Lesbutt, can’t believe you “blurred” me in both your sign off pic and the underwater star pic:-)
Loved your opening pic – next time, pls come with us on the b’crawl for a beautiful sunrise at Queensie in a lovely pink cap nest. Well worth the shock-horror-ghosty 5.40 start in the dark…
In a sort-of-defence of Stephen, Lips pointed out a large vivid dark orange with white spots jelly without the banana legs and then later a large mauve one with the legs, so all colours…

We all enjoyed the lovely conditions for the double today, including Tom and Will who will be returning to the UK soon.

Little Sarah is right, those new jellies do come in different shapes and colours. None of them as over-saturated pink as in Stephen’s CGI renderings yesterday though!
Beautiful Boldercrawl this morning. Okay, it was a tiny bit too dark when we started, but the beautiful sunrise at Queensie made more than up for it!
So if you are considering one, be quick. Will be too dark soon for an early pre-6am start!

Did Rob swim today? I didnt see him.. And while we’re at it, I didnt see Shaun at Queensie.
Something’s seriously wrong with the attendance records today.

Lips, I saw some vivid purple and green jellies similar in vibrance to Stephens photoshopped pink versions….It was the day after DWSS’s 50th birthday when DWSS spoke to the dolphins and we had imbibed in some grubs at the bottom of the tequila bottle.
PS I swam the bolderdash this morning, I didn’t see you at all. Are you sure you swam today?

Leslie, lovely intellectual blog as usual.
For all those that missed wishing Andrew happy 45th on Monday.
There will be another opportunity Sunday at Blue Water when Andrew brings his own cake down to celebrate and share with the PC’s..

Lesley – love the speech bubble photo ..particularly the comment about the hot photographer 🙂
Lips – I’m glad you stayed out of any photo opportunity and kept that LSA in tow too, although she does gain one point for the blurred pic!
Emer Byrne

Lesley – i think you should trademark speech-bubbling duties! Brilliant. Giggling away at my desk!
Rainer – ‘Boldercrawl’ I like it! Sounds more appealing now.
Happy hump day – see yall on Saturday 🙂

Great morning for a swim.
Nice blog Lesbut – and well projected “Let’s go” from James at Shelly. Mucho gratitude for all 143 who made it happen.

Appreciate the “one point” at least in spite of Lesbutt’s best efforts to blur it out!
How many points did I get for the TV thingy the other day when I “danced” (according to Lips’ little Eva) in every frame?
HKTQ aka Little Sarah Abbott
06/02/2013 at 2:28 pm
Typo, his little girl is Ava, not Eva:-)

I can confirm Rob did at least make breakfast…. as for Shaun, I agree! We waited quite a while at Queensie for him and no one saw him. So either he owes us more money or he’s even slower than us – either way, we win:-))
HKTQ aka Little Sarah Abbott

Brad Baby, you’re getting into deep trouble – there’s now a very big wedge between Lucy and yourself on the PC. Furthermore, I’m on your heels, followed by all my hangers-on and we’ll be bumping you down to 2nd column with all the rather common, middling B&Bs in no time….
And April will be here soon – you’re meant to at least keep up appearances of devotion on the B&B set until then, when your calendar pic is on every fridge in Manly!

Thanks HKTQ! And you are right, Ava told me she saw you dancing on TV on Monday!! 🙂
Snorks – I claim at least half a point for that blurry underwater shot. The guy on the left, giving the thumbs up! Not easy to spot as I wasn’t wearing my trademark white rashie..
HKTQ aka Little Sarah Abbott
06/02/2013 at 3:34 pm
…. and at least quarter of a point for me, the diving diva, next to him in the blurry shot:-)

You are the Queen of blogging Lesbutt ( thought I’d given you that name) and speech bubbles. Well done Boldercrawlers and Jane on a great limerick. Nice to see DJ’s happy face again. Looking forward to a birthday hug with Drinky!

A Sad Lament

Used to swim with us all every day.
But where have they gone?
I don’t see them, not one.
Dear Duskies, please come back and play.

Your daily limericks and the Super Jellies are a good comensation nonetheless:-)

Hi Lainey
You did I’m just trying to make her feel guilty.
Sorry for the claim!!!
Drinky’s looking forward to it too!

Thankyou, LSA. I did 2 today because I’m at work tomorrow and may not be able to compose – though walking to the ferry is when I usually meet my muse………..

Fantastic Blog Lesley. Blog Godess
I am very dissapointed, checking with Drinky this morning, I hear – not one hug. What is it ? 49 too old for you lot? go on, get out of your comfort zone and give him a hug, he needs it.
Great to see the integrity police on the beat this morning. I even sent one officer (not so undercover) along with the bolder crawlers to check. Confirmation again came back that the hypotenuse to shelley was run again cutting the swim down by 500m. we are watching.
Triad Queen, Ill have you know that I entered the water this morning with Midge and Co. at 5.55 for the bolder. Bumped into Simon on the way back just in case you needed more witnesses. haha
I did not see Lips out there though. A case of the missing Nipple really.
I saw you out wide near Queensy and knew the integrity police were doing their job so I didnt swim out.
Jane – great work with Dr John.
Too difficult to work “pendulum” into the poem?
maybe next time. I loved your work. Keep going.
Poor nurse J. JS now on top. I hope you don’t mind too much??
Best bolder swim this morning. Best one since the dolphin chatter.
Im in again Friday morning if any one is keen for the early bolder.
