Beautiful conditions. Light Northernly, felt the onshore current tho. Happy with my pace - sitting at av 2:40/100 - but all that’s secondary; the conditions, water & light renew everything.

Followed up with a homemade #chacarero for lunch - a Chilean-style steak sandwich. Didn’t have enough green beans, so substituted broccoli - very Australian 😂 Verdict from all - yum!

¡Buen día! Got a swim in before the northernly picked up. Wonderful to stretch out. Very good water clarity & fresh water feel. All sorts on the water with #WilliamstownJellyfish adding colour & sass. Great sight!

GM! A bit wild today, but good to have the waves wash over life. Starting to load the lower left leg - I’ll see how it goes.

At my annual #CervicalScreeningTest (I’m #HPV pos +). Not the most pleasant of things but, for me, necessary. I’m in good hands at @JeanHailes - great GPs.
Fingers crossed my body continues to fight this virus.

#Borek for lunch in #MelbsWest & noticed the softness of the feta. Had a chat with the cook & she recommended using Danish feta - as its taste is a good intro for kids & ppl who find Greek feta too strong. Great tip.
