Yikes! Who turned up the air conditioner?!? ❄️ This weather is crazy! The sea is choppy, but we still could not be deterred. A quick "in & out" dip this morning with these larikins certainly lifts the mood.

I dipped a little later today than usual, courtesy of a town day. While I am missing my signature yellow simmers and cap, this gorgeous sunset more than made up for it. The water is so much fresher this time of day, and there is no one on the beach. So beautiful and peaceful, I felt truly grateful for this quiet moment.

Beautiful, warm, sunny day on the beach today. Sometimes I forget that in southern Tasmania. We are officially halfway through the month, and I am making time to reflect on the people that I have loved and lost to this insidious disease.

Wow! Today was an extra special swim! We got to swim with a whale 🐋 (and I don't mean me 😜). Such an incredible and magical swim today, despite it being choppy, cold and murky. It is always an absolute pleasure to see these big beasts in their natural habitat.

A fantastic day in the waves today! 🌊 We shared the water with three surfers and had plenty of laughs along the way. I couldn’t help but laugh as Julie worked on her balance, with the waves knocking her off her feet time and time again! 😂🏄‍♀️

No photo of me by this gorgeous pool today. It didn't seem appropriate to take my phone into a private hotel pool for happy snaps 😜 But I did do my daily dip in this stunning heated pool at DoubleTree by Hilton in Hobart. I am very lucky!
