Some decisions are not always the best ones

On running down to the shore to catch the early swimmers this morning, I was assaulted (yes assaulted!) by a truly awful smell. So awful I can’t think of a family friendly way to describe it so I won’t even try. We all need our immune systems to be working in this time of plague, confusion and no bog rolls, so I decided today’s blog would be a Dry Blog.

Turned out I may have been over-reacting. Or just being a wuss.

So here are some of the 6:30 swimmers heading out

and some budgy smuggler clad bums

Gillian very deservedly enjoying the (low carb) fruits of her efforts

Robyn doing a great job blog tarting in the absence of the major culprits

Edwina on the left has just come back from volunteering in Nepal. Well done!

Newbies

Lee said the conditions  were not brilliant

And again. We’ll have to call her Super Chicken (she’s everywhere, she’s everywhere)

Some more swimmers waiting for 7am

It’s not being a blog tart if you like being sociable

The intersection

Spotted a cuttlefish……..

Took a walk towards Shelly

Alison took these next 2 beautifully framed photos

 

I ran into Rob on the way back

Looking happy post swim

Happy to have completed his first swim

These folks did a double today

Triple swim – wow!

This is a depiction of beach pollution levels at around 9am today
