MERI KIRIHIMETE!

Greetings to all my loyal followers. Our annual Christmas party will be in the usual phone box.

I am building my mileage back up at the moment so I am doing a lot more pool work in preparation for my Gibraltar swim in April, but fear not I have not abandoned my beloved river. Pools are horrible but it has to be done.

Hope you all enjoy the holiday season. Onwards and upwards for 2015.

We are having a competition at the moment to name as many bands and artists from the 70s and 80s that are better than the rubbish about today. We are up to hundreds!

SEND MY BITS BACK!

If anyone sees my boys' bits please post them back to me as I swam in the river this morning in 6C water and it felt like everything fell off.

To add to the fun it was windy and raining when I got out all adding to the fun. A shiver fest of top proportions only alleviated by the wonderful bacon and eggs at the Old Barn afterwards.

A little cold and rain won't stop me as I am going to swim right through the year. If my Gibraltar crossing is confirmed I will be swimming that in the first week of April so I will need to get the miles in in the new year.

Christmas is coming, hurrah!


Setting off. 7am. Only 13 and a half hours to go!
