Juice B-Day: U2 and Muse concerts

This year for Juice's birthday we went to 2 music concerts


1st - Thursday: MUSE
we really enjoyed it. Made us feel like young teenagers out partying


2nd - Monday: U2
So looking forward to this.


Would you believe it? Oprah sitting a few rows from us.


What an amazing stage!

Happy B-Day Juice hope you had a great time?

Desmond Tutu got some air time.

With the drive to stop HIV / AIDS.

U2 are one of the greatest rock bands of all time!

Bilgola Swim

On Sunday, Juice and I entered the 1.5km Bigola ocean swim.


Bilgola is one of the more picturesque of the Northern Beaches.


It was a hot summers day and Juice was ready...
Until we found out the water temp had dropped to 16deg.


Juice coming into finish. Credit to her for swiming in the cold water.

Great fruit spread at the end of the race.

Ironman WA 2010

Yes it was time for another manic day of exercise.
I was going to do my 3rd Ironman Event.

Ironman Western Australia in the town of Busselton.

Clearly my race number was #550.

Sitting at the swim start. You can see the 1.9km turn around point at the end of the jetty.

Some of the Bondifit team - the crowd Juice & I swim.

Off we go, 3.8km swim - 1h04.

Some of the cruel bike markings. As if we need to know we'd only done 45km of 180km

180.2k Bike - 6h04

42.2km Run - 4h48

Happiness is...Finishing an Ironman!!!

heard those wonderful words again...

"Kim Jardine...You are an Ironman!"

Goal achieved.

Total time - 12h13:08

Another Ironman medal, Towel and shirt.

General November

Summer down at Balmoral means Hunter Food & Wine fair.


Lynda & Juice enjoying some of the Hunter Valley's finest.


Sunday means relaxing with the paper.





Oh yes, ocean swimming season has started again. Bring on the summer!

Our next post will have some big news about our NEW place in Manly Vale! Yes we're moving - we're going to be 1.8km from Manly Beach - Swimming, diving, surfing, running & ice-cream.

This has been the main reason for the lack of posts on the blog we've been looking for a new place.

Welcome Little Leo

Happy times...
Congratulations to Martin & Janice on the birth of their first baby.



Welcome little Leo, born on 28th Oct 2010.



This makes Juice & I - auntie and uncle for the first time.


I'm sure there will be many more blogs with the topic - Leo.

Mauritius for an anniversary & wedding

Juice and I landed in Mauritius for Haydn & Julie's wedding and our 5th anniversary.






Over 65% of Mauritians are Hindi




One of the largest Hindu statues to Shiva in the world. Over 30m tall.


Going local.


Hello there, how old are you?


The 7 coloured sands of Chamarel.


Happy 5th anniversary Juice.


Every evening was spent watching beautiful sunsets.


The last of my mates to fall.


The boys had time for a round of golf before the wedding


Off we go!


The happy couple.




We loved the cake. Low fat, high fibre???? I don't think so!






"Another Rum Punch please."






Deep sea fishing. Life is good.


Room with a view!



Port Louis, Mauritius.










Justin and Toni (saw them again in Sydney 2 weeks later)



Juice's phrase for the holiday - "I'm Chillaxing"
