My daughter, as a young girl, swam for the Warrington club. No idea where she got it from but she seemed to glide without any splash. Sadly she lost interest.

Commiserations, my ride days and good weather don’t always coincide. When non retired friends say , ”your retired you can go when you like” . I think you’ll find out it doesn’t work like that.
This mornings ride has been cancelled, hopefully I can ride tomorrow.

The weather forecast is your friend! Check the weather for the week and then plan everything else around the good days.
Monday is cycling, Tuesday is usually my housework day but it's sunny tomorrow and lashing down now so I'm blitzing the house.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
In have to drop off Mr WD's prescription at the quacks.
Might pop into the crappy Co Op as well to pick up a few odds and sods .

May I officially report in.
I feel Warrington should be renamed Much Piddle sin The Marsh.......it just will not stop raining.
Not a lot to do today. The auntie is supposed to be getting transferred to a place nearer to us today......I will phone shortly to see if its happening. The way these places seem to operate I am not optimistic.
You have to feel sorry for her. Broken hip. In hospital. Transferred to 3 different wards. Transferred to a respite home. Now being transferred to another place. She is 95, we actually had her laughing last week but you can see her ageing.

As the saying goes with age comes wisdom.When I think back some of the places I have swum in I wouldn’t even consider it now
One place that sticks in my mind was coming off the Langdale Pikes on a very hot day beside a waterfall there was a deep pool Couldn’t resist it stripped down to my under pants and jumped in.Soon cooled me down🏊♀️🏊♀️🏊♀️

Christmas Day and Christmas Eve looks promising

I hate the water. I remember years ago, going into the sea and lost my footing. I panicked, swallowed loads of water and thought my time had come. Managed to salvage the situation but it's put me off (never enjoyed it anyway). My heart is racing now just recalling it!
