Swimming gang

Our last swim in this group for this year, Emma goes to Australia for Christmas next Saturday. She will be back for new year swimming.

Christ on a bike it was cold though, just struggling into double figures. We are back to complete silence when we get out as we all concentrate on getting all our clothes back on. No more chitty chatty until we have all our multiple layers on. And today mince pies to go with our hot chocolate.

After that I was highly productive on the cooking, sorting and cat litter fronts. Then I put the Christmas tree up- a new fake tree this year after many years of real ones. I think it looks great, am v happy with it. From the comfort of my sofa, it looks just the same as the real one without needing to throw it away, hoover everything up and buy a new one next year.
