NEW YEAR'S EVE

Writing the heading was as far as i got last night, early to bed.  Now it's NEW YEAR'S DAY - i'm having a morning off swimming, staying in bed and catching up on a few things.  Like this neglected blog :0)

the past couple of weeks have been good, my trip up to Wentworth really set me up for Christmas, my mood has changed completely.  

It was great to get back in the water


    Joy - our resident mermaid - i'm sure she'd live fulltime in the water

    if she could :0)


Christmas was at Susan's again this year, it's always lovely there.  weather was predicted to be cold and very wet, but it cleared up and we were able to do our usual walk down around Eastern Beach although this year there were no big family groups down there for the day.  it's been too wet.









i'm getting back into swimming at sunrise, it's the best way to start the day and i'm working on my breathing.  I want to be able to swim to the second pole this year





we had a visit from a very big stingray, but it just glided away gracefully and left us alone :0)



SUNNY AND ETTA came for an overnight stay on the 28/29th -  a lovely time with fresh marinara papardelle cooked by sunny, an afternoon at the beach with bucket and spade. then next day i swam early before returning to the beach with sunny and etta - a perfect day with crystal clear water and so many lovely little craft out on the water.   back for a bbq lunch before they headed off.  beautiful time with them both.








YESTERDAY - a beautiful sun. the moon, gannets, pelicans, a walk and a swim.  A very nice new year's eve, i've been sewing clothes for myself, having a bit of a break from my book - but i'll get back into it soon.  and tidying up the studio is on the agenda.  Gardening today, new year's day.







i swam to the pole once but i'm preferring swimming 
parallel to the shore until i strengthen my swimming 
after a while away from the water.
