Swimming, 27th June 2019
Lovely day to be in the pool today as it has suddenly become very warm without giving us a chance to get used to the heat, but I’ve not slept very well in days now and I am feeling a … Continue reading
Swimming, 25th June 2019
Another trip to the pool with my son 🙂 Given yesterday’s debacle I decided to stick with the same set again. It wasn’t long though before I felt I was struggling. I just didn’t seem to have the energy to … Continue reading
Building an observatory. Construction #77
I took a detour on the way home from swimming to pick up some trunking and a few other electrical bits from Screwfix. Despite the twenty minute plus journey I was still sweating profusely after swimming which was a bit … Continue reading

Swimming, 24th June 2019
I felt horrible today. Very tired, having not slept well over the weekend, and lacking in energy. As a result I decided I’d repeat the same set I was swimming last week rather than drop the target time another half … Continue reading
Building an observatory. Construction #76
Whilst I was fossicking around in the workshop this week I came across about 15m of armoured cable that looked entirely suitable for running the power from the beer shack (which will have power connected from the house) to the … Continue reading

Swimming, 21st June 2019
Solstice swimming 🙂 Another trip to the pool with my son. I wasn’t feeling quite so sharp today, but to my surprise I actually managed the best I’ve done this week, with only one rep below 49s (target time is … Continue reading
Swimming, 20th June 2019
Same set today, but swimming with my son for a change. Everything went pretty well today. Completed the set without any major difficulties. USRPT distance this year: 151,600m Total distance this year: 155,950m
Swimming, 18th June 2019
Same set as yesterday, and again I wasn’t feeling too sharp. This time because I’d been up quite late ferrying my son between post-GCSE parties. Again I can’t complain. He’s worked very hard over the last six weeks of exams. … Continue reading
Swimming, 17th June 2019
So, a new target today: 400m f/c warm-up 24 x 50m f/c, target time 49.5s, turnaround 75s 200m swim down I wasn’t feeling particularly sharp for this session. Sunday was spent in the sweatbox that is Millfield swimming pool whilst … Continue reading
Building an observatory. Construction #75
Another quiet week, but I did at least dodge the rain and spend some time fitting a lock to the outside door on Saturday. I now need to fit handles and, as the only spindle I had was clearly going … Continue reading
