November Observations 1

The observations from November:

The sudden passing of Malcolm has shocked us all. A large contingent of idiots attended his funeral service at St James Cathedral on Friday, 10th November. It was a beautiful service attended by people from all walks of life – journalists, politicians, media personalities, and the aforementioned idiots. Our deepest sympathies go out to Chris and Doone and their family.

Bevan sums up our sentiments of Malcolm best.

“Malcolm bought a lot of joy to a lot of people and we were the lucky ones who got to enjoy his retirement time.”

I will always remember Malcolm’s friendly greeting, “Helloo Dave” which always brought a smile to my lips.

Less sad news from Idiot Central:

• Dave S. has gone from being a faster swimmer to only managing 200m swims before bursting into tears from the pain in his shoulder. Wimp!
• The BJs and Rob have returned to the beach – absence made their hearts grow fonder…
• Bevan has finally stopped wearing his wet-suit, now that the water temp has hit an undeniable 20C.
• Chris M. has been conducting some camera classes at Balmoral through AirBnB. Sounds like a fun way to spend two hours and learn some great tips.
• The water temp recordings are written on the wall beside the shower. One day we may get the wishing well  back, but I’m not holding my breath.
• Thanks to Paul for the chilli plant that has taken pride of place in Bevan’s factory garden.
• One Wednesday, we were visited by bluebottles. Fortunately, they were washed up on the beach but it did make one a little wary.
• Chris’ photo of Claire took pride of place as the first photo displayed in the Mosman Daily’s #snapsydney collection. Well done Chris and Claire!
• The water was predominantly clear in November.
