Quite muggy this morning, a change from yesterday’s sunshine – it seems the weather person is getting it right.
Shaun and Veena – Veena said there was so much seaweed in the shallows that she struggled to get her flippers off. Note to self, there seems to be less weed at the flags. Speaking of which, it’s good to see that the flags are up again. Just an aged clubby perspective – the presence of the flags is minimising the risk of swimmer-boardrider collisions and ensuing injury.

It’s OK, he could stand
Carolyn and Ruth
They’d heard of blueys near the pool and had swum very wide.
Carolyn said they were this big
Not drowning, waving
A kind stranger offered to take my photo
Very little to see under water today so here’s something I prepared earlier
Here’s the lovely Cath and lovely daughter Ruby about to brave the blueys – hope they didn’t get you!

What am I reading?
Cath lent me Permanent Record by Edward Snowden back in July. Well written and thought provoking. I have a very satisfying backlog of books for when I’ve finished this one. I’m about to get back into it now, with the cricket in the background.
Here’s something a bit different to listen to

Thanks Anne. Bonus edition – we get 2 Monday 28ths! We have lived twice or three times when you count living the real experience.

That’s very true. A time when confusion is a Good Thing.
Sorry Simon

Hi Simon, no Im good but thanks. Your blog popped up shortly after I posted mine, just a strange twist of timing. Ed was looking for someone for today so I put my hand up. I work full time so normally cant do weekdays.
