Lots of swimming

* did my 64 power-lengths at the baths as normal

* Came home and did some piano practice

* Had lunch

* went out and bought new boots

* went to pick Neil up

* drove to pool

* got to changing room, found had no 10p piece for locker, went back to reception - neil did the same

* got into pool to find neil had done 5 lengths already

* did a few lengths, was discussing length of pool, asked lifeguard - it's 100ft or approx 31.3m - 6m longer than my normal pool

* water was lovely and warm

* got chatting to some bloke

* bloke kept chatting for AGES

* got fed up with him, i started messing about doing handstands, rolls etc then started doing lengths. Eventually he decided to swim too - he was doing butterfly and i got a free butterfly lesson from him :-D He got out and we were messing around doing widths of the pool - seeing could we do a width in a single breath. Both of us could :-) Neil suggested / wondered would it be possible to do a width upside down in one breath. I tried quite a few times but couldn't manage it :-(

* we did a few more lengths before getting out - i made my total to 30, not sure what Neil got up to

* got out went to get showered and changed. The showers were pathetic! Not much more than a little dribble so it took me ages to wash my hair! GGRRR

* went to Morrisons on the way back to Neil's. I got a smoothie and some milk, Neil got a smoothie and some yoghurts

* went back to his house, sat chatting for a while before i came home

* had to do some paperwork :-(

* had my tea - grey pasta with yellow bits hehehe ;-D

* sorted out dishes and stuff for swimming / work tomorrow. I've decided i need to do a load of washing tomorrow night - purely just swimming kits :-o There's already 5 sets of swimming gear and there'll be another by tomorrow evening :-o
