Thermal Does Not Mean Hot

The BA prepares to enter the 27C waters of Yarrongobilly Thermal Pools in the Snowy Mountains. External air temperature was 15C. She was under the impression that 'thermal' meant 'hot'. Still, she was very brave, considering the algae and other pond growth! I took my bathers down there but confirmed my lack of interest with a quick finger in the pool. I am not a water baby at best of times :-)

I have lots of other lovely shots of our trip but I'll post when we're back and I have access to my imac and adsl2 wireless connectivity! This laptop, mobile phone combo is very brontosaurus like :-D

Looking Good After 40 Years

Round at the Bestie's new place last night, the 40C temps were catching up with the BA who fancied a swim. Not having her bathers with her she prevailed upon the Bestie to borrow a pair.
"I think I may have a pair that might fit you," chirped the Bestie's gorgeous and beloved mother, who is the most frugal person I know. She rummaged in the bedroom and came out with her own bathers, last worn circa 1960!!!



I particularly like the expression on the Bestie's Beloved's face.
I encouraged the BA to give us this Betty Grable pose.

She does not compare the results favourably. She feels some photoshop was needed.

I don't know. What do you think? I think she was disadvantaged in not having the shoes and spray tan.
