Afternoon all. Inner Westies here. Bit late today – I’m in a band you see…. Stats: About 410, 19 newbies, water 20.2. Never say that we don’t include every species in the BnB. We had the lovely Honey Goat today.   How fabulous is that! Back to our trek across the miles – from the...

It was a truly beautiful morning to commemorate Remembrance Day as we did the Bold & Beautiful swim this morning. After more than four years of continuous warfare, the guns of the Western Front fell silent at 11 am on 11 November 1918 as a consequence of an armistice to secure a peace settlement.  Ever since the...

Last week I lost the will to hear anymore times the combination of words involving citizen -senator -parliament. But the media seems to have no idea that this topic is no longer of interest to me.  This week, it seems Jackie Lambert Tasmanian senator may have – in addition to Tasmanian citizenship, mainland citizenship or...

Christmas decorations are starting to go up around the Northern Beaches, so its time to bring out the Christmas rashies and cozzies. Jacqui is modelling the new Cancer Council Christmas Cockatoo Rashie (say that three times quickly) which is only just out – a great Xmas present for us all and supporting a great cause....

People talk about deciding to ‘live life all-in’, as if it’s a choice. Life has a start and a finish, it’s bounded by death. That means you are already as ‘all in’ as you’re ever going to get… You have nothing to lose, that you aren’t already going to lose one day. So you might...

You are in bed, you can hear the rain pelting down, it’s cold and time to answer that nagging question, ‘to swim or not to swim?”. Don’t you hate it when you decide it is going to be a “bed” morning, then you read the blog and regret that you missed the perfect morning. All...

For the past few months I haven’t swum Cabbage Tree Bay as often as I’d like – for reasons of travel and health mainly (came back with a Northern Hemisphere lurgy). Today’s blog is a dry blog, but being at our spiritual home is still a delightful tonic for this blogger. This morning did not...

I have always loved moustaches so am excited that Movember is finally here. I will be seeking out good moustaches. But also it is move-ember so if you have had a sedentary few months, now is the time to move. of course the Italian word for swimming is ‘nuotare’ so it is also Nuovember Here...
