As the old saying goes “what a difference a day makes”. Today was perfect! 197 people ticked! YES, ONE HUNDRED AND NINETY SEVEN! Water temp 20. Did you know there is now a phone and computer APP to log your swim?  The more people who start using the APP the better especially as we get...

Today was the day to switch off the autopilot.  Amazing how life can provide you subtle reminders that your routines – like strolling up to the attendance list – can go AWOL!! Confusion spread across faces as the absence of the attendance list registered with each slightly sleepy central cortex.  Ian was missing too. ....

Yes, the 7th best blog of the week is having an upgrade, with a new Monday blogger taking over the reins next week. I have to admit, it will be a nice change to start next week without the avalanche of hate mail after my blog gets posted to Facebook. Having said that, I’m sure...

Quick blog today as I rush off to take part in Manly’s inflatable race….. Morning swims in summer are the beez kneez!   How much fun did we have today? These people are all happy with the weather and the water temperature which is 20.9 today!     Vanessa placing an all important pink cap...

Before I started swimming with Bold and Beautiful, my Christmas parties were a little bit.. ….quiet… I joined in all sorts of Christmas parties! However once I joined BnB my social life just took off! And last night’s Bold and Beautiful Christmas party was no exception! Regular swimmer James Partigan and his band The Troubadours played for...

What a day!  Can you think of a better way to chase away the remnants of sleep than with this view and the anticipation of the daily ritual of the swim to Shelly? Thanks to Julia Baird’s investigative prowess, and self confessed obsession with jellyfish, I now know that those big floating jellyfish we have...

Admit it. You’ll miss me when Im gone! This is my penultimate blog, only one more to go…..
