The Weekly Digest 4 – 11 Sept, 2017


Once again another week has flown by. The highlights for me were:

  3. The lovely muffin shared with Linda, Judy & John, and
  4. The superb brownies that Chris whipped up today, accompanied by a Sparkling Shiraz provided by Bob, my fellow coffee companions Linda & Gail, and the Birthday card with that Barry Crocker of a photo… THANKS!

I would also like to thank the ladies for making the temperature a feature piece on the sand. Definitely worth a trip to Balmoral to view this work of art 🙂

We also had a visit from two pelicans last week!

Real Idiot numbers are down this week, with only Chris and I enjoying a swim out to “Syndicat” via ‘The Coffee Shop” (that would be the farthest pink buoy for those not in the know). Navigation was a little difficult with the bushfire smoke.

Dave U. is away enjoying the snow with daughter Jasmine, Chris & Malcolm are spending a week in Mudgee, Tim and his wife have headed to Budapest & Croatia for 3 weeks (NICE!), and Richard…

Those of us who enjoyed the tantalising temperatures last week included Claire, Judith, Di E., Linda, Robert, Pam, Di, Janice, Rod, Mike, Louise, Judy, Josey, Gail, Bruce, Ian, Meg, Bunny, Sally, Richard (on the odd occasion), and…
