Just a quick blog this morning as Victoria and I are celebrating our little Hope’s 1st birthday today. What a joy to have her in our lives, and thank you to all the Bold and Beautiful’ers who have babysat (Kelly, Dr Becky), cuddled her in the morning (most of you), given her coffee (Dr Becky),...

Hi Bolds! It’s Lainey back Wednesday blogging after a great trip away. Almost 6 weeks  the other side of the world…swimming in rivers, tarns, pools and oceans but…nowhere can  compare with swimming at sunrise here, across Cabbage Tree Bay with a mass of smiley faces lit up under bright pink caps! The Drinks Expressers at...

Last night’s sunset almost brought down the internet (slight exaggeration, but there were lots of photos being shared.)  Well, this morning’s sunrise was just as colourful.     No doubt you have heard the saying, ‘Home is where the heart is’.  It occurred to me today that over the past week or so we have...

When exactly does the dark of night become morning’s light?  This has nothing to do with ‘sunrise’, but that instant when there is clarity.  It always seems to happen whilst you are being, just lost in the doing, you can never quite catch the exact moment.  Turn around and there it is. Darkness does not...

Lesbubbles reporting for blog duty today. Supported by ghostwriter Lips, the creative mind behind most of my better blog posts and pick-up lines over the past 2 years..

Large man in pink swims to France.    All it took for me to commit to swimming the English Channel was a drunken BBQ on my back deck and three of my Bold and Beautiful mates to have signed up first. Ben Hutt was always on for a swim in 2014, he had unfinished business...

You never know what you are going to see when you come down for a swim. It started out as a normal enough morning… the A-team all arriving late as everyone else got in the water.   You see they have a philosophy called LIFO… last in, first out…   But then (cue full monty...

So it finally happened – in THREE years of swimming I haven’t been ‘sick’ and today I woke up with a mild case of “German Man-flu” – wonder where I got it from! All those wetsuit wearers I suspect 😉 So back to the swim…. JK snr said he thought Michael here looked like a...

Something is wrong with typepad on my computer … This is from my phone! I’ll put blog up ASAP! (This might not even post!) In the meantime enjoy this from Einstein
