It looked like another beautiful morning down at the Bold and Beautiful. The exercise crew were stretching as I arrived having got up much earlier than I care for…
I met the Spaniard on my way over to the change area. It’s cold and jimbly was the report!
Lots of talk about the stingers and the 16.9 degree water… but who cares – Scotty’s Passage is open! Have you swum through Scotty’s Passage? It will give you a 6-7 meter advantage over whoever you are racing back. It was named a few years ago after Scrappy Scotty Mellis who mastered the art of going through the passage. It only opens on a high tide and the rocks beneath are razor sharp!
Gee, long service leave has been good to Newport John. He has been on overseas surfing trips, growing the beard and taking it easy. He came down sans wetsuit this morning thinking Spring conditions had arrived. Brrrr….
Jim here in the middle has been putting forward his credentials to join the A-team. If he can beat Bruce Baird he is in (I think our caps are safe)…
Putting to rest the old joke about why Jesus could never have been born in Manly (they couldn’t find 3 wise men or a virgin)… here is our very own 4 wise men!
Roger insisted I got in a photo with the very suave blue suited Sterling… and got his own thumb in the shot too…
Meanwhile, this photo has just arrived on my phone. Dazzling Dave and Rev Bruce Clarke are out fishing this morning. So will Dave come back a Saint? I believe he will…
Finally an open invite to The Marriage Course. My wife and I are hosting this seven week course from mid October. You know, we invest in our finances, we go to the gym, we service our car… but how much do we invest into the most important things in our lives. The Marriage Course is an opportunity to enrich and refresh your marriage. We look at improving our communication, dealing with conflict, keeping the romance alive and good sex! We don’t charge for the course because we want to see relationships flourish in Manly. If you are interested email me… tim.giovanelli@manlylife.org
Have a great week.
The Fat Bishop!

Rocks and elsewhere. Was it my Christmas Rashie that attracted all those jimble bells? I think the A team would be lucky to get Jim. It would be a coup
