Swimming, 18th January 2019
Bit of a chaotic session today. I’ve never seen the pool so busy in this Friday slot. I nearly didn’t go, in fact, as I didn’t sleep very well last night and then we had a visitor who only left … Continue reading
Swimming, 17th January 2019
A repeat of my previous session today, though I had a day off yesterday. I was intending to swim, but a night out playing skittles on Tuesday put paid to that idea 🙂 The pool was eerily quiet when I … Continue reading
Swimming, 15th January 2019
Back with a reduced rest interval today. I was expecting this one to be tough, but actually it wasn’t so bad. I failed once, on rep 15. Admittedly I was getting a little ragged towards the end, but not hideously … Continue reading
TYR goggles: the final decision
Yet again in my session today these goggles kept misting up, often within seconds of being put on. I don’t think I’ve ever had a pair of goggles that misted up so fast, and certainly not when they were all … Continue reading
Swimming, 14th January 2019
Another repeat of my last session today, but this time with the hope that I’d be able to get through the session with just one failure, having had two in both previous attempts. As it happened I managed to get … Continue reading
Building an observatory. Construction #37
This weekend was grey and dreary and after a couple of hours of horizontal rain on Sunday I wasn’t really keen to go out and do much work on the observatory, especially as I really wanted the roof open so … Continue reading

Ubuntu 64-bit ARM beta missing package niggles
This week I downloaded the Ubuntu 64-bit ARM beta image to try out (and so I could test building oacapture against the 64-bit ARM environment). It booted neatly, but I got a bit stuck when I tried to install the … Continue reading

Swimming, 11th January 2019
Forced myself back to the pool today despite not really feeling on it thanks to sleeping badly last night. And I’d have to admit that I didn’t really swim as well as I felt I could. However, repeating yesterday’s set … Continue reading
TYR Velocity goggles update
Disappointingly, on their third outing my new TYR goggles persistently misted up. No idea why. They’d been fine the first two times and I rinsed them in clean water and kept them in a hard case when not being used, … Continue reading
Swimming, 10th January 2019
Back to the pool today with a new, faster, target, fully expecting it to be quite tough. I wasn’t wrong this time, either. It really was hard work. Had my first failure on rep 12 and another on 20, but … Continue reading
