Awesome, difficult and fun. Luke Harrop Memorial Triathlon Gold Coast 1/5/2011 Enticer. Completed by me in under 1 hour. Cost $55 I did some some  short distance tris when I was in my 20's and I didn't mind wearing 2 piece sports bikini for the whole event. Now 20 years later its a whole different ball game. I need padded bike pants so my glutes don't hurt. I need a singlet so I don't get sunburnt. SWIM -300 m- everybody had those one piece 3/4 thigh Trisuits. Priced some $250, can you surf in them also -NO because sand will damage it. Its designed to be sleek and repel heat and go though the water. Anyway the only one piece cossie I had was my blue Lifeguard one from Seaworld. With a large "lifeguard" written on the behind. Lucky none wanted me to save them! I felt so expose showing my thighs when everyone else had there 3/4 leg trisuits on. Did fantastic in the swim came in with some girls from the heat before. I had technique I started at the back and

HOP Movie | Official Site for HOP | Now Playing This is a great movie for everyone, from the smallest to the tallest. Cute with a capital C. So cute and so so funny. Tackles all the issues of self esteem and unemployment to family disapproval. This rabbit EB is in line to be the next Easter Bunny to deliver all those chocolates to the world flying in a sleigh like Santa. Of course they live on Easter Island - Ilha de Pasqua. In none other then one of the hundreds of Statues that surround the flat island. I have been to Easter Island several times and what else could be happening there, but the making of Easter Chocolate- so creative funny. Its a flat grassy island with statues everywhere hardly any trees or hills - Just statues its fascinating. Well Eb decides he want to be a drummer- so get ready for rocking music all through the movie. He runs away using a game console and ends up in Hollywood. He goes to the PLAYBOY mansion - why? because their symbols are all big bunnies- LOL fu

Let's make a Difference - Palm Beach New Library

Here,s the situation. Palm beach has a newly renovated library . They spent millions and they drastically cut the opening hours. I have just emailed Daphane Mcdonald the local Palm Beach councillor to open the library normal hours 6 days a week. Please read my email and send her an email of your own lets see if the local community can actually make a difference and get something done. You can also copy and paste this: I am a concerned rate payer, and I am dismayed to find that the Palm Beach library is never open. Please open the library back to normal 6 days a week opening times. Here's her email address: daphnemcdonald@goldcoast.qld.gov.au Hi Daphne, I first like to thank council for the new exercise equipment at south Palm Beach (near the Pirate Park). I use it every day. I was going to take my 2 year old daughter to the Palm Beach Library after waiting for almost 6 months only to find it was closed. So now you have an amazing new library (I suppose, its never open).

Movie Reveiw Tangled | Disney

Tangled | Disney I have sore muscles from 6 days straight of surfing some great waves. Its a choppy today and really crowded hubby states after his 5am surf session. Ok lets go to the movies! The only kids movie is"Tangled" a movie about Rapunzel, oh oh I thought. Its made by Disney it should be good. This movie seriously is awesome, it has something for everyone, from 2 year olds to adult. It brings a dull fairy tale to life with so many surprise twists. I laughed and cried. Yes, I admit it I cried in a cartoon. The story of greed and the vain search for eternal youth, describes Rapanzel's supposed mother who keeps her locked up in tower for 18 years. When she turns 18 everything changes just like in real life. There's love and a search for a dream and family warmth. So many elements in a cartoon. Disney congrats on a movie that has all the elements. Plus its very very funny. Love that Ocean! See you out in the surf! SALTY.surfergirlgoldcoast.blogspot.com/

School Holiday fun loved all these suggests

Hi all, Well school hols have nearly disappeared these ideas are great for any day fun with the kids. I copied my favourite suggestion here. I bought the biggest canvas i could buy @ a $2 shop.. which cost me about $25 dollars. I got my stepdaughter to help paint the canvas one colour (2 coats for even coverage) Once dried, my stepdaughter then dipped her hands in the paint and put hand marks all over, I then did the same in a slightly darker shade. to finish it off, we then got my son’s hands (who is 10mths) and we also did the same but his hands were a slightly lighter shade of paint. Once this was dried. my daughter and i signed it at the bottom. I then got some aerosol varnish from a craft store and sealed the painting with 2 coats of the varnish lightly sprayed for even coverage. It was given to daddy. who has it Proudly displayed in his billards/games room. and you know what.. it looks pretty damn good too.
