OK .... there'll never be a NP meet up at a pool. Fact.

You never know :eek::cool:

We're flying back to Georgia on Friday night, so just getting everything ready for this.

Question for the NP; Audi Q7/Range Rover Sport? DD's are getting to the age where I need another 7 seater.....

Hope Bugs/LiR/Viva/Everyone else is OK!

Serious swimmers who do tumble turns wear Speedo swimming caps. Like balloons.... waterdynamic, smooth and tight.

But you can turn properly and not be trying to be super fast. I just want to swim nicely. . Bob a long try and rebuild some stamina.

And I want to keep my hair ok. Because swimming comes secondary to hair, the damage a speedo will do to my hair isn't worth it to me.


I seem t remember fro school, you wet hair before cap.... And from older in school when looks became more important than keeping cap on you put conditioner on before the cap.

Hmm.

Maybe I need to leave swimming till we have heating here?


Sigh. Esther Williams died fairly recently didn't she? This year, last few years?

Yes, that's a posh alert. My sibling's got a new build house and what she's got is interesting, it's a narrow upvc frame that fits round the kitchen door glass that contains the blinds. I thought that was a neat idea.

Like this: http://www.conceptblindsdirect.co.uk/images/catalog/category88.jpg

"This amazing product utilises the depth between the glass surface and the face of the Glazing Bead of UPVC Windows and Doors to create what appears to be part of your window or door and all without any drilling."

Got no venetian blinds , only normal ones here. I've heard that feeling sick when cleaning venetian blinds is one way of finding out you've got astigmatism.:D

I have astigmatism and used to feel sick walking down tube escalators. Walking up them is fine though as you see the tread from a different angle.

There are a few trees down round here. One has blocked a rat run road that feeds into mine for a pre work run. Its super. .

None of the above. You need a Peugeot 505 Family Estate. There is no rival! Except a Mazda MX-5, but that does not have quite enough seats.

What you need to do, to dress yourself now you own it, is thread a long bit of string/similar through the zip thing, then you can pull it up. I'd have a 6' piece, hang 3' either side of the zip, then flick each of those over each shoulder, so I could use both arms to pull it up.

I can't wear/buy most regular clothes as I'm a shortie.... who is top heavy too .... and with short arms......

Like a wetsuit - they have a long string thing so you can zip and unzip yourself, with the zip going all the way up the back.

It's possible to do it yourself like that, although it's still easier to get someone else to do it, especially if your hands are cold.

Mine refused to go out at eight. We usually go for a stroll about the yard etc at about ten thirty, but I'm not sure how I'll convince them.

They were probably worried that their new hairdos would get spoiled?

Border collies don't recognise a concept of weather too bad to go out.

I am in a couple (but in disguise and very small.....to give it some scale) but we seem to have a lamppost issue in the nicest one that my photo shopping skilss don't extend to removing. I can only remove spots and whiten teeth.

You aren't recognisable in the sense of picking you out in a line-up, but you still look gorgeous and glamourous - b1tch!
