We woke to the news that Queen Elizabeth II has died. Guy Dunstan recorded the temperature at 17.0 degrees and a thanks for her service. On a personal note I can note that I was named after her - as were lots of people of my generation - so a sombre reminder for me about the march of time.
This is a remote blog so I cannot show the sea at Manly - do your best to swim wherever you are - and have a good day.

B&B monthly dinner – Tuesday 13th September 2022
At our next monthly dinner, to be held onTuesday September 13th at Bluewater Café at 6.30 pm. Our September speaker, or rather speakers, will be a group of BnB swimmers who took on the challenge of walking the entire 800 kilometre pilgrim trail, Camino de Santiago, the way of St James.
Battling exhaustion, despair, resignation and finally exhilaration they travelled from Saint Jean Pied de Port, France, and headed westwards across mountainous Spain to Santiago de Compostela.
Be enthralled as they recount their tales of exhaustion, rain and blisters as they discover more about their fellow pilgrims and delve into their own individual journey of physical and spiritual self-discovery.
The cost of the dinner is great value at only $35 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 http://www.boldandbeautifulmanly.com.au/bb-bluewater-monthly-dinner.html .
