SWIM SWIM SWIM

Went for a swim today. Was in one of these restless I don't know what do with myself moods at about 7pm because I had had an early dinner. Swimming balances the moods sometimes I think. It is calming and puts you in a restful place. The negative ions in the water are supposed to bring you a sense of peacefulness as I was once told by a naturopath who said surfers get grumpy when they don't get out in the water for a few days. In my first year of university I was a swim teacher, it was fully being back in the water and trying to focus on some of the techniques I used to teach on myself. I think I would be a much better swim teacher today if I had to go back to it.

QUIETLY IMPRESSED: Make Up Forever Ad

This ad is one of the first to not photoshop heavily for a make up ad. I'm impressed. The make up ads have often done my head in and made me feel inferior as my brain has been tricked into thinking all skin is perfect like the ones in the ad. So thank you Make Up Forever - hope your sales sky rocket!

TASHA WISDON - Number 9

This is Tasha, a 2.5 year old Labrador cross German Short Haired Pointer.

She is has been very busy lately, running the household and protecting it from the naughty cat Mittens who lives over the road but sometimes tries to play in the front garden and sing at the top of her voice John Farnham's greatest hits which really hurts little Tashie's ears.

 Recently she was in a big accident that was filmed. It made it to YouTube and luckily she walked away unharmed, only a little shaken.

Here is her wisdom for today:

FUNNY MOVIE: The Switch

This movie is hilarious. The topic of the movie is a little strange and looking at it, you might think it could be quite uncomfortable to watch. It is really funny, however, and the creators have done a wonderful job of making it an enjoyable movie to watch. Special mention to the little boy in the film, Sebastien played by Thomas Robinson - he is absolutely adorable and so so so amusing, he will most definitely make you laugh. Anyone seen the movie? What did you think?

NEW FAVOURITE SONG: Catasrophe by Julia Stone

I absolutely adore this song. It is so gorgeous and chilled out. Very relaxing to listen to. Julia Stone is a genius. I recently heard this on triple J at the ridiculous time of 6am in the morning, I have not since heard it anywhere else and had to go though almost every Julia Stone clip in YouTube to find it so thank you to the delightful person who uploaded it. The song should be far more popular than what it is as it is so adorable.



Lyrics

It seems like every road we walk
Catastrophe awaits us
It seems like every time we talk
Catastrophe awaits us
And I know that we're just two strangers
Looking for the some idea
Looking for the some idea

It seems like every time we touch
Catastrophe awaits us
It seems like every time we touch
Devil eyes endanger
And I know that you're just a wager
For me, to put my last pair of shoes on

And we wait for something beautiful
And we wait for something beautiful

It seems like every road we walk
Catastrophe awaits us
Catastrophe awaits us
It seems like every time we talk
You've got it all
You've got me
Don't be scared of all those horror movies

And we wait for something beautiful
And we wait for something beautiful
And we wait for something beautiful
And we wait for something beautiful

MUM AND DAD: Hello

Mum and Dad. Just thought I'd randomly put them up on here. They're having fun.

You are both now on my blog - you now have a reason to understand what a blog is instead of avoiding it. Thanks.

Apologies

Hello readers, followers, lovers, haters, friends, family, relatives, animals, children and randoms,

My most sincere apologies for going MIA (missing in action) over the past few months.

I am back on track now and will be posting more often.

Thank you for your support.

Pier to Pub: Southern Hemisphere's Biggest Ocean Swim

I was lucky enough to go along to the Pier to Pub in Lorne to take some photos. It was the third time I had gone along to take photos and it is an amazing event - great energy and lots of fun. It was also lovely weather this year, nice and flat water for the swimmers that makes things easy for them. Afterwards is lots of fun too, going up to the club house and having a wine over looking the gorgeous beach and meeting lots of other familiar faces - this year my friend Caitlyn stopped by as well, we had a good time mingling with everyone. View the photos here - http://sarahlawrencephotography.blogspot.com/p/other-events.html
