Outta the Darkness

Today we’re getting a little arty – get your french berets on. On 1 foot days with dark overcast skies, that’s just what you do…slow shutters, grain, grit and logs. It’s not pumpin’ but it sure is humid and muggy. Not really how I remember autumns.

Good old Henry Crouch, he’s been reading Aquabumps for decades. I bumped into Henry last night and he told me to lift my game on the editorial of Aquabumps (thanks Henry!). That it’s getting a bit monotonous. I’ve written over 4,500 of these updates, on Bondi, from the morning…yeah, I can get his point, especially seeing I wasn’t a great English student at skool. I never thought I would end up sitting here, writing to 45,000 people a day! How did this happen? Where did you all come from?

Later this week I am gonna get Henry to write an update, and hear about Bondi from a new point of view.

Thanks for putting up with all the typos, the sentences that don’t make sense and stories that go nowhere. I’ve distracted you enough from your work, back to it.

  1. Bugger Henry – I love your editorials – I couldn’t think of something interesting to say EVERY day!
    I live on acreage near Canowindra in Central West NSW – now there’s something to photograph – the Hot Air Balloons – but I digress- and used to live in Sydney…I miss the coast and the sea and find the daily Aquabump emails so very inspiring. Keep ’em coming I say…
    BTW I’m an Aquarius maybe that’s why I need water ……

    1. HAHA, thanks Karen.
      Henry is a real cheeky larrikin around the beaches – and aged, well, old enough to be my grand father. He’s cool.
      Let’s see what he comes up with editorial wise!

  2. Take no notice Uge, there’s always going to Dooby Downers. Some people are only happy when they’re bringing people down. Hey if they don’t like it, they don’t have to read it! I personally love the editorials.

    ask Henry about his trip to Mongolia!!!! As a result he remains the pride of Bondi .

  4. Hey Uge, I think that your editorial is just fine. Your photos are outstanding…..so your intro to the day is supposed to be deep and meaningful!!! It’s a big ask from him to change your style or add anything.
    Cheers T.
