BnB blogging is so competitive these days .... Gone are the days of just a few photos and a sentence or 2 ..NOW there has to be a theme, a bloggers 'personal stamp' all over the page, jostling for good photos with non-bloggers and bloggers-not-on-duty... and then of course it's ALL about the SIZE! The bigger the better. Even the rule 'blog has to be out by midday' has been replaced with the 'blog has to be spectacular even if it's out by 5pm.. the next day'! I often see bloggers NOT even swimming just so they can spend those few extra minutes blogging.. and some don't even turn up at all but still manage to blog!
And yet every single blog is basically the SAME photos over and over and over, the sea, the sand, the pink caps, people's backs, the budgies, the sun rise, Lips photobombing ... And sometimes there is no mention at all of that day's swim! So I have nothing new to add to this blog... it really was the same as always down the South end of Manly beach but thankfully as always it is magnificent and no matter what is going on we are guaranteed to feel great after our swim!
Within seconds of pointing the camera in Lips' ..Ava was photobombing, she is better than her dad now!
Me thinks she meant a different finger??

Surf Carnival swim change. It's that time of year again when our corner is over run. The Manly Surf Lifesaving Open Carnival will be held on 23 January and the Nipper Nats on 25 January 2016 (Saturday and Monday). On both days there will be a very high level of IRB activity in the Southern corner in front of the surf club and the ramp, particularly in the early mornings starting from about 5.30am. On these occasions, we revert to starting from Shelly, swimming to inside the point and then back to Shelly. It is important that we all co operate as the likelihood of head clashes or being run over by IRB's are increased on these two days. Thank you for your co operation.
Some inspirational quotes to finish off:
