Next week will be my first swim of the ocean-swims season, in the 2.5 km Dawny swim around Cockatoo Island at Balmain in Sydney's inner-west. I reckon the harbour water will still be chilly. Here's hoping it deters the bull sharks.
Am I ready? Nup.
I feel a bit like the sculpture in my pic that I snapped in Tamarama at Sculpture by the Sea, which ends today.
Isn't she gorgeous? Very well rounded.
She's made from recycled sandstone boulders, her name is Bondi Venus and her creator is Dennis Kalous.
In his statement from the Sculpture by the Sea catalogue, Kalous writes: 'Boulders are useless stones. When tooled and put into composition suddenly Bondi Venus emerges.'
I reckon I need a bit of tooling, if you know what I mean.
