All this talk about the pool makes me want to start swimming again.... almost. I would if it was warmer but I'm seriously thinking about putting on the heating again this evening!
Today I bought two postcards (because it was the last day of that exhibition today and I don't know how soon I'm going to be in again). Tomorrow might be an NSD - I'm going to the dentist but if I don't buy anything else I think I'll count that as an allowable expense.Toodle-pip :hello:3 -
I've certainly put mine on as it's exceedinly chilly outside and we're at 6 degrees feeling like 2 already, even before the clear night sets in!Jay1_2 said:All this talk about the pool makes me want to start swimming again.... almost.
