141 Beautifully Bold Swimmers
A little birdy tells me that some gals at Manly Hospital read the blog every morning (but as yet do not swim with us!!)…so I have put some nice pictures up to perhaps encourage them to come and join us! 😀
View of the beach…
Look at the sand!

Ok back to the swim itself…. little b*gger of a wave to splash cold water over us!

Dear Blog,
Thank you for the photos of your swim – most interesting.
We’d also like to check out some South Steyne and Manly Pipes after seeing some tempting North Steynes this morning. We’re there any Long boards today?
Off to the the salon today for a Freshie as per Dr john’s orders.

Oh Snorkles, I believe I did well in the face of stiff competition!!
Bit disappointed by LSA being all over Matt though.. trusted sidekick one day, forgotten the next. Amazing how quickly she moves on as soon as there’s bigger biceps to be had.

Lesley
Me thinks you are a worst eye candy lookerer than most guys!
😉
Does this mean that any male blogger can post the other side of the coin (or is that sexist and not politically correct?).
Great blog Lesley as usual!

Fab blog Lesley, I love your bubbles! And in answer to your question this morning ‘how do you get into such tight swimwear?’ my answer is you could try buying me a drink.

It might have something to do with abandonment at Queensy point yesterday.
Tonto would never have done that.
Robin would have been kicked out of the bat cave for that one.
Ill look after you LSA
( divide and conquer ) hehehe
