A true Hodgepodge.

For our office Christmas card this year, we decided a photo of the three of us would be a nice personal touch. Jesus, trying to get three women to like how they look in one photo took conservatively 30 shots! After one particularly hopeful (yet ultimately disappointing) round this was all we could see!

Talking of illusions, I shall call this shot 'giantess and lilliputian man'.

And while we're at it, here's an enormous head looking slightly like Noel Fielding.

Sundays are fun days at the beach. Camps are set up early with varying numbers of tents, coolers, beach chairs, toys, dogs and kids all playing in the sun. This is an especially large toy but trust me, everyone who rode in it had a smile on their face.

These two spent hours trying to balance on a board that was marginally too small for the job.

I've lived next to the same neighbors for 19 years and never once have I seen them move their boat from it's dry dock. Herbie (the owner) used to climb in and turn the engine on letting it tick over for an hour or so, but even that masculine activity has ceased. I've often wondered why they don't sell it, but as I looked out over my deck the other day I thought I might actually miss the old girl if they did. Go figure.

Mean while inside my house, one thing I'd never miss is the sight of my dirty, smelly recyclable containers. Sometimes I leave them on the counter so long that in an rash act of pure planet destroying laziness, I throw them away! Oh the guilt...

It's Thanksgiving and one of the bazillion things I'm thankful for, is that I'm motivated and heathy to play both on the ocean and off. Enjoy your turkey lurkey people and if you can't be with the ones you love, love the ones your with.

Cracking head shots.

Testing 1-2-3...

At the risk of looking (and feeling) like a twat, I wielded my paddle like a baton twirler on crack to see if I could find a different angle.

....and talking of crack, it worked!


It the original video below, I promise you that you see more of the mountains than my head! The editing process must skim off a fraction of the frame, which is this case was kinda critical. I'll use this as a learning curve and will shoot lower next time, because Lord knows you be glad to see the back of my head!

Fun in the sun.

Sitting on top of a liquid world with my Gopro instructor.

Not too confident yet with the paddlecam.

Getting there...

Must remember to smile!

Easy does it....

White water SUPing.

Charging toward the valley.

Ahhhh much easier!

Meanwhile, I swear there's never a dull moment with Ulli & Michelle around. Let's hope there's no need for "a clean up on isle four"!

Pick a nose....any nose.

Guaranteed this will be Ulli's new Facebook profile picture!

I heard of a recent study in the UK that said about two thirds of women are totally uninterested in their everyday schedules. Shocking! They blamed their job, their relationships, lack of holidays and never ending chores. Good grief ladies, take some responsibility, make some new choices and start having some fun.....oh and you might find a good place to look for support is with a new bra!
