Swimming...swimming...

Yesterday Danni, her friend Siobhain and I signed up to do a Swim Trek holiday in the Lake District...

I was sitting in the hot tub (although for some reason it was more luke warm than hot this morning) at the gym (I was starting my training in the pool) watching the snow falling into the little wooded area beyond thinking that I felt more like I was in the Rockies than in London preparing for a swimming holiday!

It seems like it will be fantastic - we will be swimming across:

Buttermere, Wast Water and Crummock Water. I realised this morning though, that if I am to enjoy the scenery I may have to side-stroke or back stroke the whole time!

I found some amazing photos of them online (from Creative Common, even) but this stupid internet connection at work (tsk tsk) won't let me post them. I know I say this all the time, but I may have to break down and buy a computer at get internet at home. I hate the idea of falling into debt just so I can update my blog and tootle around on photoshop, etc, but it may be necessary!

I might get some wellies!!!

I have put in an application to work at a horse stable with people with special needs. It would involve things like helping people ride as well as doing chores, mucking out stables, etc. It occured to me that if I am to do this, I might need a pair of my very own wellies! I want to get cute ones with little ducks or flowers on them...

Straight at the Roundabout

I saw my dream boy in Wales on the weekend... He was rugged and walking along the coast in outdoorsy clothes with a fishing pole in one hand and a tesco bag with fish in the other. It was all going so well...the vibes as he marched 20 feet ahead of me along the path were so strong...then we drove away from the parking lot barely two minutes apart...but then it all went wrong when he went straight at the roundabout...

Why I don't blog much anymore

Something at work has changed and I am not even able to access blogger from my computer anymore (well, actually, I can access it but when I try to post it always tell me my page isn't found). It's the same with my email. Anyways, I am (covertly) trying to work on the situation, so for those of you who actually look here from time to time, I hope to be back soon. But then again, I think I mostly waffled anyways...
