It was not raining just when I swam. The water was great. There was a strong rip at the beach but it was very los tide (so much so that I found myself walking on rocks and sea weed before I could start swimming).
Lots of big news today. Tony Fahan-Smith completed 1000km.
It was fortunte that these tunnel engineers were on hand to mark the event (although no-one was able to provide the traditional - Ian says - pat on the backside; Tony will have to arrange that for himself)
But then I found out that Paul also marked 1000km today! And again, showing how many resourceful people there are in BB, there were also tunnel engineers on hand there. He was low in the water so may have had a pat on the backside; I don't know

Here is BOLD Tony. His lovely daughter Beautiful Renee is getting married today.
Tony has done all needs for preparation - brought up his beautiful daughter AND had a swim before the wedding. All ready. Congratulations to the young couple and also to the family

B&B monthly dinner
Tuesday 10th May 2022
The speaker at our next monthly dinner, to be held on Tuesday May 10th at Bluewater Café at 6.30 pm, will be one of our swimmers, Ranya Alkadamani. Ranya, whose career as a political media adviser involved traveling the world with a former foreign minister, will take us behind the scenes of the dark art of political electioneering. These advisors, professional guns for hire who sell their skills to the highest bidder, are a strong determinant on who we vote for. Sometimes more Yes Prime Minister than West Wing, this insight into the secrets of political manoeuvring will be totally enlightening and entertaining. So, forget about the Federal election, open your mind and park your politics at the door.
The cost of the dinner is great value at only $30 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 (please note, NO BYO). Bookings are essential, so to avoid disappointment and secure your spot please book HERE.
