Swimming, 28th February 2019
Quite a successful day in the pool today. I repeated my current set and managed to make eighteen reps before failing, two more than yesterday. After that I had no more failures, though the last couple were quite tough. Afterwards … Continue reading
Swimming, 26th February 2019
Much quieter in the pool today, though as I warmed up I felt that it was going to be quite a struggle. Didn’t sleep too well last night and as a result I wasn’t really feeling on the ball for … Continue reading
Swimming, 25th February 2019
It being the first day back at school today, I went to the pool expecting it to be quiet. Within a couple of minutes of me getting into the water it was already far busier than usual. Turns out that … Continue reading
Building an observatory. Construction #43
I didn’t have much time for work on the observatory this weekend, but I did manage to cut some additional timbers for the frame to support joins in the external cladding where they didn’t end on an existing part of … Continue reading

Swimming, 19th February 2019
Awkward day, today. The pool was very busy and I found it difficult to establish a rhythm early on. My set was the same as yesterday, but because I couldn’t really settle in I even had one failure in the … Continue reading
Swimming, 18th February 2019
Well, I was expecting today would be tough and I wasn’t wrong. Doubtless some of that was down to the pool being very busy (it is half term, after all). I was sharing a lane with two others who were … Continue reading
Building an observatory. Construction #41
There’s not been much progress with the observatory over the last couple of weeks as other jobs have taken priority, but as daylight hours start to extend beyond the working day I’m hoping I can put that to rights soon. … Continue reading

Swimming, 15th February 2019
Had the pool to myself again today when I started, and there weren’t more than two other swimmers in for my entire session. Again my target was just to do better than last time, and I did indeed managed to … Continue reading
