Brrrr! The similarities between Australia and my home country Sweden are few, but now at least there’s one thing in common; summer only lasts for ONE day.

I went swimming this morning with 100 random people who decided to join me! There were lots of Beautiful people and a couple of bold ones too (You know who you are). So. When Julie asked me to do the blog, she gave me 3 rules. I think one of them was something about ensuring...

Over 200 Bold & Beautiful swimmers made a solid chain from the shoreline to the point everyone was loving the 20 degree water.  Notice there’s so many fewer air pianos being played 😉 Maybe that’s ‘cos everyone was enjoying pointing the 20 new swimmers in the right direction.
