Friday 10 November 2017 Building stamina

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 something. Blah blah blah. I am not going to hear this anymore so I am not building stamina for this claptrap. hashtag filter it out.

Instead I am going to build stamina for the summer swims like these  gorgeous people.

James was here today – means bread. Yum

This group was having a team bonding/elimination exercise after staying at the quarantine accommodation on North Head. i think they are swimming back around the bower to see how many go back to work on Monday

Wendy and her sone Luke. Lovely to see them both

Anne signing in newbies

Now there is a pressing and wardrobe service

Here is our glamorous Emma at the Qantas Captains Choice Show. It was hilarious What a talented bunch of singing dancing comedians her work colelagues are. Much like swimmers really.

And here in the swim with Jodi who did hair. Just as glamorous, both

Here is Richard with Doug

Lovely Sam and friends – gave us good advice about the water. A great swim

Getting some sunscreen. you can still get sun at 7 am

More encounters with early swimmers

And the Shelly beach segment satisfied by photos of people swimming past me. Can you pick who they are?

Look at this elbow.

Some doublers

Lots and lots of seaweed at the sea shore. Lots

Management notes and stats:
Newbies:  lots
Swimmers: 283
Seaweed to swim through to get to Manly: quite a bit

What I have been reading

this week I read again Michael Connelly’s book, Two Kinds of Truth. Because I forgot I had already read it. I liked it again. Next book will be David Sedaris, My Talk Pretty One Day, following a recommendation that piqued my interest from Roz. Thanks
