As most of you will know Geoff and I enjoy swimming at the Jesus Green pool every week-end. In fact Geoff hardly misses a day and goes from its opening in may till it closes in September.

This week-end the Guardian had a supplement called the great outdoors:wild swimming and The Jesus Green pool was at number 56.

This is what it had to say about the pool :

“opened in 1923, Jesus green remains one of the longest outdoor pools in the UK, coming in at a whopping 90m.Right by the River Cam, this is a tranquil spot for alfresco swimming at its finest.Surrounded by old time trees that act as a leafy windbreak and sunshade, it has grassy plains on one side for sun worshipers to lounge away the hours”

Must say on Friday the water was at its coldest since its opening in may but it did soon warm up over the week-end with all that lovely sunshine.

We did record breaking distances too, 18 lengths for Geoff and 20 lengths for me.

When its cold Geoff’s finger tips go white and look really odd….but then someone who swims outside in the cold wind and rain maybe is odd  🙂

Well I have spent all week playing with my nice new laptop.

Adding all the programs I want and just getting used to it.

Vista does not seem to be much different to windows xp.

Tonight I have ripped some music onto it and transferred some photos from my PC using a memory stick.

Its great not having to share a PC anymore, none of my stuff will go missing and it wont get full up with games and rubbish.

Next I have to install my mobile phone program so I can manage my contacts and photos on line.

I was always very grateful to Philip who lent me a laptop many months ago and now he’s been even more generous by saying my boys can keep using it.

At a time when a few people are trying to drag me down this kindness is all that is needed to lift me back up, so many many thanks to Philip.

update…. my Moblie phone pc suite wont load on a vista machine says it needs windows 2000 or windows XP , how rubbish is that 🙁
