Time for a Quickie ?

Can we go swimming daddy ?

Why what a good idea, some fun with Wallis and give me a chance to lift some of the guilt of only doing a solitary kilometre last night...why yes of course lets go.

Now a training session with a 10 year old(must say nearly 11 in case she reads this) is never going to be full on. Its a busy session fixing goggles, mandatory duckings, swimming tips, show me how do you do those underwater turns, can I use your nose clip daddy?, watch me diving under these hoops and how long can you hold your breath for ? All great fun and better than the usual monotony of just swimming up and down the pool.

I managed 100 lengths at 17m so 1700m or just over a mile in old money plus we had fun into the bargain. We were in for 50 minutes and left as cold was beginning to get into the wee bones.

Thinking about a run tomorrow but as its not my turn for the papers and croissants.....then a wee long lie might be on the cards.

Burns night tomorrow and its his 250th birthday, unusual longevity for a Scot. Its a chance for some Haggis, Neaps and Tatties....its all over STV at the moment with Eddie Reader singing Caledonia and reciting Burns...lots of lumps in the throat and things getting in the eyes at home...must be the weather we're missing.

So yes we do miss home sometimes
