swimming — Body of Work

Dairy cows are interesting but not worthy of a photo unless your number plate gives away your hometown and you are visiting from "The Education State", "Sunshine State", or "The Nation's Capital".

The cows, determined to "Explore the possibilities", are just as relaxed as Tasmanians in general.

But when interstate tourists take family selfies with Holstein Friesian heifers in the background you know that some things are getting back to quirky normal.

Bucket List Bondi

I don't really have a bucket list. I am very fortunate. I have told you of my challenges learning to swim. I found it difficult to float as a child and had to dramatically improve my prowess for love.

Last week, we visited Bondi Beach and, more poignantly, Bondi Icebergs Club to swim a few laps. Like Katie once did, the kids now slap my feet demanding I hasten my stroke.
