Dunking

Terry got a wet bottom while perching on the lip of the drinking bowl. Then he tried to climb to the top of the bird feeder, slipped, clung upside down, dunking his head in the water before falling to the ground. How embarrassing!

I had my own dunking, but in a good way. I'm very pleased to say that I've found a swimming pool that's only 20 minutes (combined train journey and walk) from home. I had a clear couple of lanes to myself for an hour, before the kids came in after school. I'm going to build a swim into my Friday day. I say swim, but today was mainly trying to crack that bloomin' breaststroke. I was rubbish with it on Wednesday's lesson. Practising on my own today certainly helped. I felt that I got it a couple of times. I'm not consistent as yet, but hopefully that will come with time. I didn't dare go all the way to the Deep End! That is for another, more confident, time.

A busy work-at-home day today, with a free cake thrown in at the local bakery. I must remember to visit there before closing every home-working day!
