Go swim this morning - the water temperature is up above 20 degrees and it's feeling really nice compared to this time last week.  It's beautiful in!  Besides, the waves are pretty meek in Manly and unless you've got plenty of foam under your feet in the form of a paddle board or log you're going to struggle. It's 11.11.11 today; a day of remembrance usually but throw another the year 2011 on the end and all sorts of whacky stuff starts to happen.   Check out the article on Sydney Morning Herald to find out whether you'll make it through the day alive, drunk or married.

While we're on the topic of dates - We're about to release our 2012 Adventures of the Early Birds Calender.  It's a beautifully designed A3 sized glossy wall calender with some of the most stunning images from 2011.  The Calender is printed and designed locally on premium quality stock - so good it's just like buying 12 prints!   Numbers are limited so put your hand up now to make sure you get one on your wall for 2012.  Calender's will be $25 and will be available for purchase next week.  Click here to beat the rush.
