Glad you are ok, @User21629.

Hats to anyone who takes a challenge, learns a new skill or confronts a lifelong fear.

In joke!! More usually referenced in the photo challenge thread.

Oh, no wonder... I don't tend to frequent that thread.

*creak* *thud* *creak* *thud*

That's me removing my feet from my mouth.

Don't worry about it! Cycle Chatters often reference a conversation from one thread in another so if you see a comment that doesn't make sense, that will be why.

LOL, those are canada geese, not egrets. Egrets are white, have black legs and a black bill and a feather tuft at the back of their head.

Swimming on my back is a problem for me, I just go round in circles and I'm struggling to work out how to stop it.

I cannot swim on my back, don't have the confidence.

I've got the confidence but not the technique, I suspect I've got one leg stronger than the other, but I can swim straight on my front, it's a puzzle at the moment.

I'm 65 and not a fan of water, I did badly when they tried to teach me to swim as a small boy. Now I'm retired I have time to try again, to over come my dislike of water and finally learn to swim, its been a major challenge and I've done well so far.

I enjoy swimming, not the strongest but do enjoy it. A couple of years ago I spent time in a pool with a dive instructor, she made me swim round a pool out of my depth and would not let me take the snorkle out of my mouth. I learned a lot and am grateful to her tuition.

There has been some oblique talk of a recumbency for me, going forward. We'll see what the surgeon says. Selling the current fleet would be a daunting task.

No direction as to what will become of the fleet, so it sounds like I will be getting a few more years out of the upright bikes. Nothing too drastic or serious, maybe an outpatient procedure soon .

Wondering how long before we get " phew what a scorcher" and talk of droughts

The photo thread which should be a deadly serious competition is inhabited by a bunch of cheaters who do anything to submit a photo which doesn't meet the rules for that competition so a little flexibility with exact definitions of words helps to try and sneak a photo past the judge

I went to see The Curious Incident of the Night Time Dog Dog In The Nighttime last night! (I've always muddled up the name of the book!). It was age since I'd read the book so other than remembering the original character I had forgotten the rest. It was superb!! Even had me sitting on the edge of my seat and feeling emotional!

I did feel sorry for the rat though as some of it was extremely noisy! And there was a really cute bit too

Spoiler: Cute bit ..... if you aren't about to go and see it....

there was a really cute puppy who briefly came on stage and stole the show at that point!

It's another hot one on the beach.

In other news @Fab Foodie courgettes have somewhat grown

and Kevin the Hop bine had been renamed Henry. Just like his namesake did he is now sprouting fast.

That's an outrageous but very true description of the competitors.
