Good morning tooting friends. It’s nearly 17c already but it feels quite chilly as there’s a cool breeze, we’re heading for 30c today & it looks like it’ll be in the 30’s for the next week at least. #Weather.
I think I’m going to head to the pool 🏊🏼‍♀️ again this morning. Due to school swim carnivals the time for lone swimmers is difficult to find & today is the last day there is no carnival. Plus I like swimming & there won’t be too many weeks left before it starts getting a lot cooler. #Exercise #Swimming.
Thirty four years ago today my beautiful daughter was born, it was another 2wks until I actually met & held her & another 3wks after that before she was officially declared as my daughter. It was quite a stressful time as it all happened in another country with a language I didn’t understand but it’s been the best thing I have ever done. My daughter has grown to be an incredibly loving, caring woman & mother in her own right. She hold my heart ❤️ #Family #Daughter #Adoption.
Wishing all a wonderful #Thursday. Enjoy your day as I’ll enjoy mine.

I am so pooped. I did 22 laps & just over 1km half of them wearing my new fins. Then my daughter & grandkids arrived & young master 3 spent the next half hour jumping in the pool for me to catch, only to climb out so he could do it again. Then another couple of even slower than normal laps along with my granddaughter. Thoroughly enjoyed this morning even though my glutes, legs & knees are very weary. #Swimming #Exercise #SwimPlay #SoTired 🥱.

Good to see more surf lifesavers getting qualified. On a related topic, do Aussie kids still routinely learn to swim during their summer holidays? I remember well our swimming lessons in the outdoor public pool in Bunbury WA, many decades ago.

This dreamy pool is Australia’s first mixed-gender ocean pool https://www.timeout.com/sydney/news/this-stunning-pool-one-of-sydneys-oldest-is-the-top-ocean-pool-according-to-this-water-lover-111524

I used to swim here often, but the parking is now atrocious.
