A red light might be a frustrating interruption to your day. Or, it could be an opportunity to get your windscreen cleaned.
And who couldn't do with a little more clarity? Wash away all the grime that separates you from the better view of reality...
Everything has a purpose, everything is perfect, this is a perfect universe, and you are perfect in it. Even those imperfections that you're told you 'have to love'. Guess what, you don't 'have' to love them, because... They're actually perfect too.
I know saying that will make some people angry, and those of you living in a prohibition on perfect might say,
"Aha, but what about that grime on the windscreen Mister Everything's-perfect-monday-blogger... Huh... What about that?"
Well, what would you rather do?
Sit there getting frustrated waiting for the green light, or discover a mechanism through which a better world can suddenly, even if just for a single instant, manifest right before you're eyes?
And then, maybe even realise...
'Wow... I think that was probably there all along. And the red light was just waiting, ever so patiently, until I noticed'.
A real screen cleaner of a morning today. Check it out...

Monthly Dinner – 14th August 2018 – Guest Speaker
The next B&B monthly dinner for the year will be held on Tuesday 14th August at 6.30 pm at Bluewater Restaurant. Our guest speaker on the night will be B&B swimmer, Brendan Maher. Brendan, who describes himself as a very average swimmer, managed to overcome a chronic shoulder injury and swim the English Channel in July 2017. He will speak of his motivation, training for the swim, and what it's like for the average swimmer to attempt a marathon swim. This talk will be an inspiration to all of us who count ourselves in the ‘B Team’ (or even the Zeds!).
The cost of the dinner is great value at only $25 a head, which includes shared entrees, and a selection of mains to choose from (including a vegetarian option). Glasses of beer or wine and desserts are also available at the special price of only $5 each. Numbers are limited, so bookings are essential: To avoid disappointment and secure your spot please book HERE.

Winter Badge
Although the water temperature may be a little colder than you might like, there are several advantages of swimming in winter, including flat seas, good visibility and no bluebottles.
Perhaps the biggest advantage is that you can also qualify for a winter badge by swimming a minimum of 20 times between 1st June and 31st August.
You must also swim in at least 7 different weeks. If you manage to do all of your qualifying swims without a wetsuit (or other thermal enhancing equipment), you will also qualify for the coveted WWW badge (Winter without wetsuit).
So start now, and don’t forget to log your swims to qualify.
