In the home straight for the next oacapture release
It’s taken somewhat longer than planned for various reasons, but I’m finally in the final stages of putting together the next release (v1.2.0) of oacapture. I think I’ve killed off about eighty issues on github since the last release (though … Continue reading
Better late than never…
Thanks to a chance conversation this evening between my daughter and one of her friends, specifically relating to girls with boy’s names, I was reminded of a radio programme my parents used to listen to when I was in my … Continue reading

Swimming, 20th October 2017
Once again this already short session was delayed at the start, so again I just got into the water and got on with things, but for what felt like the first time this week it actually went really well from … Continue reading

Really wasn’t in the mood for swimming today, but by the time I’d done 1km I was feeling a bit better and by the end I was tempted to do a bit more than the 2,300m I had done, but … Continue reading
Swimming, 18th October 2017
Slightly late getting into the pool today as the lifeguards were busy patching up a child who’d had an accident in the previous school session. Fortunately nothing too serious by the looks of it. Today’s session was much the same … Continue reading
A large degree of money-grubbing
I received a “begging letter” today, from the university where I studied for my degree. They’re after donations from ex-students to fund poorer students so they can attend the university and study. Whilst I’d certainly agree that one’s financial circumstances … Continue reading

Still a little tired after the previous evening’s tri session, so I kept things simple doing 20 x 100m and then 10 x 50m front crawl working on stroke length, body rotation and head position. Improvement seems to be coming, … Continue reading

Another tri fitness session today, all front crawl. Quite an odd one as only four people turned up so we had a lane each and still some left over. The set was: 4 x 3 lengths as swim, catch-up, choice … Continue reading

Another short Friday session, again due to school sessions seriously overrunning. I just kept working on stroke length and head position in front crawl, but ran out of time after 1,800m. Total distance for the month: 19,600m Total distance for … Continue reading

Had a break yesterday because I was so tired. Today I spent the entire session working on front crawl head position (particularly during breathing), body rotation and stroke length, doing 20 x 100m followed by 10 x 50m. The latter … Continue reading
