You can count …….on the beauty Yesterday, someone who lives dangerously close to me was waxing lyrical, as he does, about this and that,  when he said something interesting. He commented “it is amazing that rain or shine, cold or warm you can always count on the B&B. There are so many things we can’t...

It was lovely at our happy place this morning. Calm, clear and among friends. It was a little chilly though. We still need our hot water. This is our lovely Penny welcoming newbies Mike and Wendy. They usually swim in the lakes of England! Hope you enjoyed Manly… Stunning sky.. Peter ready for his swim...

We used to believe the brain, that pink capped bit you see bobbing above the water out at The Point, was the seat of consciousness… It now appears more true that what’s going on below the water counts for more… That consciousness originates in the body, and the brain is a merely a servant, responsible for...

The few of us crazy enough to be outside in this weather are huddled under the awning trying to get as close as possible to the wall without being impaled by a hook or drowned in the huge puddle. I wonder why smart folks who design things didn’t design a drain under the hooks.  Still...

This morning the waves were causing a little bit of havoc for our Bold and Beautiful swim. Drinky told the 6.30 team to be honest about your ability and if you were in any doubt to swim from half way or Shelly. The 6.30’s head out through the waves. A bit of wave hopping. The...

John & Jill had a film crew to shoot a scene for the Orthopedic Surgeons Conference.       Happy birthday Lisa (right).   An injured Sterling placed a call to his substitute swimmer. Mel scored: the best park, a place on the 5:40am swim team (including  Roger & Murray), afters coffee and a chat...
