Jesse, Michelle and I went to spend another low-key day on the beach. We went to Bondi Beach this time. Jesse and Michelle came back from swimming in the ocean, but not unscathed! It seems Jesse was stung by a Blue-Bottle Jellyfish, AKA the Portuguese Man-of-War. He said it felt "fine," just a little like a bee sting. Then I read him an excerpt from the book I was reading, about the kind of permanent scarring you can get from these kind of stings. He promptly took a walk down the beach, to try and 'walk it off.' Soon after, the lifeguards made an announcement that the water seemed to be infested with the little guys, and if we decided to swim, we would get stung. I stayed on the beach.
