Well, well, well…. Another day ends and the evening begins to set in.

I have been having this problem since I started swimming a little more seriously… how the heck do I count the lengths I do? Ah! I hear you say! With your mind, the most powerful computer ever! Well… I tried that, its hard, really hard to do. As soon as I get to about 12 or 14 its over.

So, to try and help I tried to count double lengths, the number of times I get to the shallow end. This didn’t help, I got to about 12/14 again and I cant keep track! I have tried to count them and swim lengths in fours, and I can usually count up to in the region of 20-30 lengths, but I am doing more and more, and doing them all in sets of four is tough stuff! There are loads of people who seem to swim effortlessly, I am not one of them. I think my technique is pretty good, it gets me from end to end pretty quick (compared to some of the other people in the pool), but I do get tired and HAVE to stop after every 4 lengths. Thinking about stroke and breathing and technique makes me forget the number of lengths I’ve done. Oh dear… there’s no helping this one (

Cooked a random dish today! Mum bought a turkey leg and said to me: cook it. So I made up a dish and a way of cooking it. I took the bone out of the leg and stuffed some stuffing in it.  I got loads of veg in the bottom of a baking dish thing, and put some chicken stock in it, then roasted the whole lot with a lid over it so the leg didn’t lose moisture. It was pretty good.
