Morning my friends,
How is everyone today?!
This morning was just perfect, the weather was a cracker, we had a good gym session down at the jungle gym in North Bondi and I bumped into all the usual suspects.
Besides the fact that I get to hang out with all my good mates before work, one of the things that I love the most about my morning routine is that I get to chat with all the locals. Since I’ve started Morning Bondi eight years ago, I have probably met more than 100 people down the beach. Some born and bred here, some like me, who made Bondi Beach their home for quite a while. We are all pretty damn lucky to live in this little bubble!
I simply love meeting new people and getting to know their back stories. A few years ago, I was even thinking about creating a blog called “People of Bondi” a la “Humans of New York” but decided against for a few reasons. First, I’m not enough of a good portrait photographer and second Morning Bondi is already “sucking” a lot of my time.
I guess that’s it for today… If you live local and see me in the morning, come and say ‘hi’ and let’s have a laugh!
Chat to you tomorrow,
xoxo
