Only days to the state election… and this from the Sydney Morning Herald!
Hard hitting journalism at its best! I am voting for Sterling. Will you join me in our write in campaign? His major policy platform is high speed rail along Manly Beach, stopping the boats (the Manly ferry) and 10am start times for all city workers from Manly.
In other news, beautiful conditions down at the swim… though getting up in the dark is a little challenging! 8 new swimmers and about 130 of us in the balmy 22.7 degree water!
Still, nice to come down and see some friendly faces. Here is your Thursday Sterling shot, though brother James is looking good too!
Sophie was all smiles after the swim. Once again she outclassed her rivals around the rocks. I think her cosy is based on the lost signal screen on tv from the 80’s.
It was perfect conditions for the dash back. Brother James went off the beach like a rocket… the Spaniard clung on to swim side by side in his wash. I just hung on to both their feet and Brad swam solo on the outside. And then somehow… it came to the point and we were 4 abreast! Gee I love this swim – always delivers! It would come down to the point and who would risk losing skin and swim over the rocks…. Winner!
It all goes back to when I was a baby and my parents made me train in the bath…
And then it was off to the benches… have you met Megan yet? She is a lawyer with a proper job (unlike the rest of us). She also bakes the most amazing banana breads most mornings and… she is single.
Have a great day… and I’ll try and think of some more love tips next week.

Breathtaking race account. Thanks Bishop.
Meanwhile, a good few of us indulged in one of those recently-made-illegal but oh-so-enjoyable Bolderdashes. Bunch of rebels we are!
Can’t believe Megan’s still on the market!!!

Yeh, the Bolderdash A -Team (I’ve just past my probation) race was far more exciting…love taking the illegal route.
A pretty easy contest over to Queensie – Ted couldn’t keep up with the pace and dropped out early. Pete, Lips, Jon and Ava took the circular route, so Storchy and I had an easy victory and waited AGES!
And then the sprint home….. Lips had to take his usual coffee breaks, Ava and Pete were last seen heading out to NZ, Jon ran out of steam….so Storchy and I sprinted in first AGAIN:-)) (Well, we allowed Lips and Jon to be washed up about the same time – have to take care of those male egos….) Not sure if Pete and Ava are back yet! Beautiful conditions…..thanks all!!

I can’t believe you’re still on the market, Lesbubbs! Lainey must be sleeping at the wheel

Come on Bubbles. I’ve dedicated many a blog to selling you. And we had plenty of hot leads. Your problem is conversion! Maybe if you dial down the toilet humor on the first date?
Baking might help too.

What conversion is the poor girl meant to make?
Forget the cakes and conversion! I think Lesbubbs and Megan are far too well-adapted to life. What they need is a nervous breakdown or few, a lot more tears and hopelessness….Lainey will have all the Tarzans lined up then…Or try my “I can’t swim alone” line….works every time!

LIPS thanks for NOTHING – you’re the one who encourages my toilet humour and you said my baking sucks!

So sorry Eva….and I call Lips’ daughter Ava, Eva…
Would be lovely to fit one more in before we leave on Monday morning….let me know if you’re free, perhaps on Sat or Sun…. happy to detour the surf to protect you from sharks;-)

I second that…I’ve noticed you both bring out the toilet humour in each other!
