09/11/21 – A day for me

Today was a day for me! Nic was working and it’s my last day in Devon, so I decided to take myself off for a swim. I then had a bath, did my nails, and played on my Switch for a couple hours and basically just chilled my beans for the day whilst keeping NicContinue reading “09/11/21 – A day for me”

12/08/15 – Monkeying around lidos

We’re getting the hang of this after work swimming malarkey! I managed to swim a whole 1km after work today – the furthest I’ve ever swam in one go (I think).. Pretty chuffed! And continuing on a roll of PBs I also managed to do a full set of monkey bars AND come back onContinue reading “12/08/15 – Monkeying around lidos”

06/08/15 – Intermittent triathalon

I cycled, ran AND swam today! One of mine and Nic’s 2016 goals is to complete a triathalon together, so this year we’ve started to include more swimming into our lives and we’re loving it, especially on glorious evenings like this one! …and we might have had chips afterwards which made today even more excellent.

28/07/15 – Evening Swim at Brockwell

Back to business today – fitness biz. Finally managed to go running for the first time since I got ill weeks ago and it was bloody knackering.. but very satisfying to be back out there.

We started our 24hour travel home today, but not before getting the most of the sun! We get offered fresh coconuts by the workers as they cut them down. They literally hack the top off then put a straw in it!

Had another beach day today as it was our last full day in Cuba, but before relaxing I went on a snorkelling trip where we road on a catamaran to deeper waters, where we were surrounded by loads of tropical fish the top picture is me, if you can’t tell)! The boys could hear myContinue reading “25/06/11”

23/06/11

We swam with dolphins! I’ve never done it before, and didn’t really know what to expect, but they were lovely! Like puppies, but more soggy.. and bigger. They were really playful, and seemed very happy with the trainers. They swam behind us and pushed us forward on their noses before chucking us up in theContinue reading “23/06/11”
