One One Eleven

Happy new year to blipland, one and all!

A relatively early rise, this morning; then, fortified by a big bowl of porridge, we set off for S Queensferry to watch the Loony Dookers.

Just before the official dookers arrived at the beach, this lone swimmer jumped in to the great bemusement of the Lifeboat crew (snug in their dry-suits).
He made it to a big marker pole and back to the beach; though by this time he was pretty exhausted and using side-stroke...

Well, immense kudos to the blipdookers who performed feats well beyond the call of common-sense :)

Also huge thanks to OldBat for tea and soup, and for giving us a lift back to Edinburgh when the bus (the last one for an hour and a half) went past our bus-stop, full to the gun'les :( You're a star!
