Thanks for doing my blog this Friday, Lainey. This is Lainey’s blog day … this is Lainey’s Freddy

This is the tractor last Saturday – which is always sent by council to prepare the sand for our yoga mob
—
This is Renae last Saturday – looking like a bag lady … and waiting for the yoga mob
—
But no-one showed up. This is Sharnie. Her party is why the yoga mob got not-blissed but pissed the night before.

What sort of yoga buffs lay on their mats and chat? Get drunk? Drink specially brewed seaside yuppie coffee? Come and go during yoga class on a whim? Bring their barking dog? Write down notes to remember the yoga poses …? I’m looking into this – but meanwhile, here are some of their haunts (click on any image to enlarge):
Havana Beach: This is Shaun, Sharnie, Ted and Jeff inside the cosy little bolt-hole
—
Bench: Which clique is your throng? Here’s Craig and Jim. Jim’s a clique-shifter, quietly sliding between factions … picking up stories and sheeting them back to me. But always warning me not to mention him in the blogs, though.
Jim found these goggs yesterday, and they’ll be in Lost Property now (See Ian or Anne)

The Sunny Benches: shown below being well used last Saturday. The one closest to Surf Club is known as the ‘Bench of Knowledge’ and inhabited by leathery, retired men. You can find answers here.

Manly Point Cafe: Supplying on-the-spot coffees upon ocean exit …
—
Bluewater Cafe: Still dealing with the yoga mob after sunset …
And now, on with the show: Sublime, hilarious … what a joyful event!
Rainer: “He somehow manages to haf Salon Quality Hair three minutes after leaving the sea”
Congratulations on a magnificent show, Nick, Rainer and Lesley!

Fantastic blog Roger! Love the report on last night. It was such a fun night. Really interesting and entertaining blog. We really need more eligible bachelors in the B&B. So many eligible females not enough men. No wonder I’m having a hard job matchmaking!

Great work Roger.
Love the coffee shop review and coverage from last night. We made the right decision giving you exclusive media access.
Anyone interested in a Friday B’elly?

Really great show and best blog coverage! Exposed! Thanks guys and Lesbubbs!
Great bolder-shelly conditions this morning for those of us who staggered round for an early start! Well done Eva – a natural distance swimmer.
If the winds behave, hopefully another leisurely, extravaganza B’elly with Lips and a few others of us!
