I am such a failier I even fail at failing.


So at the start of a very long weekend phyically ending by comming home to take the dog for a walk at 5:30 Sunday and beginning 8:10am Saturday when I set off for Bishop to do my 100 lengths.


There were 4 of us ready to swim two other middle aged women and a man. The women were doing 60 lenths and the man was doing 5k in two hours. I choose the lane with the man. So I set off to swim and after an hour I wanted a wee and convinced myself that I was going to be in the pool untill 10:05. So at about 9:50 I looked up to find out I only had to do 2 more lengths. My time was 1 hour 18 minutes and 20 seconds, the counter though it was impressive. So one would expect that I would then go home and rest.


I got changed and walked the 1.7 miles to the Rugby club, disapointingly I wasn't sore. I walked past a wool shop and bought some dk for socks. I should have bought some food on the way but didn't seem to pass any food shops, I am sure the stomack pains were hunger. I got to the club had a burger, some water and a mars.


Then took some pictures of the U13s playing a touring side, it was a good side which was good for our much improved side to be playing a better team. My partner refereed, when looking at the pictures I realised he had he was wearing a Gaycliffe shirt. I uploaded the pictures and showed to the opposition. Ok now go home and rest.



I managed to get a lift to "watch" the 2nds play Durham III I particualy wanted to visit Durham as I have connections there. This included a 2/3 mile walk to the pitch at Shincliffe. I took pictures of Durham III beating Bishop IIs for both sides. The day had a hot sun with a cold wind. It turns out the hot sun turned be bright red.


Soon after getting back was Charlotts 18th party a prominant character in the club. Stuart picked me up about 10:30, it was only then I told him how I did on the swim as I was annoyed he didn't pick me up or arange for me to be picked up. I had two matched to watch the next day. It turned out only the U17s county Final. Stuart left me at about 4pm to get the bus home. There is a walk up a steep hill from the club to the bus station. Home walk the dogand process the 600+ pictures I took.


I didn't feel well on Sunday morning hangover and premenstual stuff. So I didn't work hard enough


This morning (Tuesday) I went swimming again, only to be asked by my son "You said you would never do it again". Well I am fitter, thinner and can eat more chocolate and have got to do better next year.

I am dyslexic which explains why I haven't seen any weighing matching or been given any dietry advice. So I have no idea whether I am loosing wieght or not I am certainly eating more, I suspect that I am fitter. Last Thursday I walked to the sports club a two mile walk and did it in half an hour. I may walk there today after walking home and walking the dog today a distance of 4.7 miles in total.

As of next week I will be going slimming twice a week maybe 2 1/2 hours we shall see. This week I have had a bad cold probably doing to much trying to beat Stuart last week. When I have a cold everybody suffers

I don't know how many length I swam this week more than 20 and possibly more than 40 spending 40/45 minutes in the pool. Walking home my legs hurt we shall see what I am like tomorrow.

As for rugby who know the weather is a still a bit changable at the moment it is amazing how obsessed you can become with the weather when if affects what you do. Most people talk about the weather for something to talk about the same way most men talk about football even if they are not that interested.

So next week 2 half hour sessions
