A sign of the times, I guess… I was actually in the car and turning it around to leave to swim when the sports centre phoned to let me know that the pool was closed due to lack of lifeguards … Continue reading →

I have to admit that I really wasn’t feeling keen on swimming today. It may just be a reaction to the Covid booster that I had on Tuesday, but I was feeling quite tired. It never feels as bad as … Continue reading →
