Swimming, 20th September 2021
A bit of a drop back in performance from last week’s good sessions today, but not absolutely awful at least.
Swimming, 17th September 2021
Something of a scrappy session today because we were late getting into the pool. For the first time in almost two years I think, schools have returned for lessons and they’re not leaving the pool (which then has to be … Continue reading
Swimming, 16th September 2021
Another not-so-bad session today. Perhaps I’m on the road to recovery now.
Swimming, 14th September 2021
A slightly better session today. Not as good as I have been, but at least it’s an improvement on recent performances. I just hope I can keep it up.

Honey extraction (part 2)
Sometimes life just doesn’t want to do you any favours 🙂 I started extracting the rest of my honey this morning. By lunchtime I only had eleven more frames to process. I shut up the shed and came in for … Continue reading
Honey extraction day
Today was intended to be honey extraction day. For once I was hoping that the weather wouldn’t be warm enough for bees and wasps to want to be about, but it didn’t happen and things just went downhill from there, … Continue reading
Swimming, 10th September 2021
Another less-than-great session 🙁 I don’t have much more to say than that.
