Friday 23 June 2017 Genetical modification

One way and another I have spent a lot of time in the waiting rooms of doctors and dentists and day surgeries recently and have read up big on all relevant celebrity gossip incl on the wrong bold and beautiful anniversary. Leaving the science articles on DNA and genes. What a great idea in due course it would be if we could pick genes or have gene therapy while alive to eg improve singing voice (that is what I would choose if I could not get excellent arches on my feet). Or we could swap some genes using an app. Anyone want to develop that app in due course, go ahead I waive my moral rights to the creative part of that idea.  all the swimmers here today however were uninterested in anything because they have it so good – they are open water swimmers going for 1-2 badges and swimming in a beautiful spot!

They have their pink caps on under the beanies

Lovely splash of colour

still hotter in the water!!!

Triple A

I got out of the beach because of some big waves and being a bit afraid of them. So I did not make it to Shelly for [photos. I waylaid swimmers in the Bay area instead.

Recognise these?

What a great set of wheels! Kerry and Lisa with a lovely bike

Here are some post swim swimmers discussing fauna of the United States

Here is an excellent swimsuit – rainbow tye dye!!! The swimmers are not with us but swim in the same spot. Good idea

What I have been reading (apart from old magazines) is the Lewis Man – book 2 of th Lewis Trilogy by Peter May. Also another Ruth Galloway and the Book Of Ecclesiastes with a foreword by Doris Lessing. There are lots of these small stand alone boks of the bible with introductions by renowned authors. Nick Cave has done one as well. They were issued to mark 400 years of the completion of the King James Bible which is a pretty good version in my opinion.

Important notice! TRIVIA NIGHT 2017

Note from Management: to clear up any confusion, the 2017 Quiz Night is not a B&B event.  It is an event run outside of B&B by two B&B members, Roz Beaver and Elaine De Jager to support Dr. Rays charity.  The normal B&B quiz night will be held next year in 2018.

Most years we have a highly attended, memorable and much loved Trivia Night at The Steyne Hotel. This year’s is on 18th July at 6.30pm with a great meal, John Kelly’s wit and charm in comparing the trivia, lots of fun and merriment. The theme is ‘Nautical’ or rather ‘Naughty- cal’!!! (Think saucy pirate wenches, Johnny Depp take-offs, sexy sailors, mermaids and mermen. You could even come as a randy Cuttlefish!) It’s only $30 per person and you can book a table with friends or we can sort you out with lovely swimmers on a friendly table. There will be raffles, prizes, silent auction so if you please have anything you can contribute please let Roz Beaver, Janet Franks or myself know. We already have Sydney Sail days donated, nights at Whale Beach B&B, original artworks, signed sports jerseys, mounted marine life photos and would appreciate anything you can offer! We are raising money for Dr Ray’s charity Australians for Women’s Health which desperately needs a women’s hospital built in the poorest part of Nepal.

Roz has been working tirelessly to get the ticket booking system up and running so click on this link to book.
