    this Whitely painting reminds me of you, notice the arm coming out of the surface water?
    not sure if you swim in the harbour

    I swim regularly in Cabbage Tree Bay, so it’s kind of close. Here are some of my playmates.

    Hey there Beaches
    Fantastic SVR12 LFTs you bagged it for sure :+1:
    Rennie Ellis published a fabulous book called “Life’s a Beach” it featured Oz beach culture.
    And this cheery bubbly pop song of the same name, feat a vid of sharing the stoke is for you.
    Congratulations fellow ocean dweller #flower #duck #flower
    Glassy golden splashes at ya!

    Hi Beaches,

    I love the video you posted. You are fortunate to live so close to such beauty!
    It sounds to me like you will be SVR 12, which for Gen 1a is almost certainly cured :cheer: :+1:

    The lovely hepc nurse sent me an email today, telling me my week 12 viral load was UND.

    I’ll leave it to the artist to out themselves should they so wish

    Oh, and before anyone goes all wowser on me, the body is courtesy of Pamela Anderson who celebrated her cure by posting that photo. As one does. Her body is better than mine, so…..

    for you mate, so exited

    and some more
    So that the monotonous fall of the waves on the beach, which for the most part beat a measured and soothing tattoo to her thoughts seemed consolingly to repeat over and over again… Virginia Woolf

    Thank you Gaj and Meg.
    For a while I considered a commemorative tattoo of a mermaid slaying a dragon but decided that would be tempting fate just a bit too much.
