Swan man

This is Andy feeding the swans, he says he comes here most days. He feeds them then takes off on his paddleborad and a swim. They seems very tame.

I took mum to Ullswater (see extra). She had a little walk I went swimming. 6 met put stayed in pairs.
It was fresh today. The lake was about 9 degrees but the air temp was cooler at about 3-4 degrees.

Tom and I enjoyed a ridge and Easby walk this afternoon.

It seems to have taken me all day to warm up. I'm now on the prosecco, it won't help me warm up but it'll make me not worry about it :))))

So please to get a good result from the USA at last, although I suspect there will be turbulence before all is settled.
