Swimming

Two weeks ago I started swimming with the seniors. I enjoyed it so much that I am headed off again this morning. Last time there were only a couple of other swimming and I basically had the pool to myself for the first hour. The second hour there were more people there but that first hour was awesome. I did 30 lengths of the pool which is almost a kilometre of swimming. After I had finished I got out and went and sat in the hot tub for about twenty minutes. I can only describe it as wonderful. The sun had been shining in full twenty foot high windows over the hot tub and I felt like a million bucks. That's what I'm heading out to enjoy today... no sun though. Today it is cold and grey and -13 degrees... the coldest day we've had for a while. Brr...

I finally have my floor loom ready for weaving... it took getting out all the parts that I hadn't figured out last fall and laying them out on the floor and reading the instructions one step at a time... it worked! I now have a working loom with a beater bar and reed. I'm ready to weave. Yahoo!  I was starting to wonder what I had gotten myself into.... but it's all good. Come summer I will give the loom a nice coat of paint and I've finally decided on a colour.... plum. A plum coloured loom... yep that sounds like me! Just nutty enough... for what... I don't know.

So I've just finished my tea so I guess I better go get dressed and fish out my swimsuit and shampoo and towel etc...

Yep, going swimmin'
