Saturday was a scorcher, which was great because it was a beach day. I went to Manly Beach to cheer on some friends playing Beach Volleyball for the Corporate Games. After a bit of a drive to Manly and then a long drive around Manly to find parking I finally made it on to the beach.
Manly Beach approx 10am - 20/03
Beach steadily got busy during the day, but we mainly stuck to the courts. Went for a quick dip after hearing about all the rips and bluebottles in the water, didn't see any bluebottles but could feel the strong current and got out. After finishing the games we went to the pub for some food where we heard the shark alarm go off. Manly really did put it all on.

Team Double Drummer won one game from three, steadily got better during the matches. I didn't run on and lend my skills, I took a few photos and realised that my camera doesn't take movement very well and I can't really stand heat - high UV that day.
Mmmmm, Gelato
P and I cool off with some gelato at Messina in Darlinghurst. P got the Pavlova and I got the Banana Bread. Both very fantastic, a bit pricey at $4 a bucket but worth because they actually taste like what the say.
After a full day in the sun on Saturday I woke with a headache on Sun morning. I didn't go to the St Patrick's Day parade or the Greek Festival as planned. I did however get another shot of the window washer guy on the corner of Parramatta Rd and Johnston St Annandale.
