A morning spent waiting for a meeting that didn’t happen in connection with one of the estates I am lending a hand on, while I whiled the time away with more jungle gym construction for a while. Then I was off to watch J’s very first Swimming Squad session. In spite of having done swimming during a sport period in the morning, she was raring to go.
It was an hour well spent. She was showing off a bit by overtaking some of the swimmers on every length, and was soaking in some good periods of instruction and demonstration.
R, with green cap, is in mid-dive far left. That corner contains all the new Grade 1 Squad members.
After her swimming we waited for her sister to finish her own squad training at a nearby Olympic pool. Then as soon as we got home to drop R off, J and I were heading out again, this time to J’s Swimming School lesson. I was amazed that after all the swimming she had done today, she applied herself with vigour and obviously enjoyed herself.
Poor Younger Daughter seems to have a really nasty bug so I’ll probably have to do the to-school run tomorrow for grandkids and two neighbours. Then, R is in an inter-school gala in the afternoon, so I’ll have to be there and also do transporting home of course. Phew!

Both seem to be chips off your block, Les! Unlimited energy. Paul was asking after you yesterday-is it possible to share your blog via email? His email address is:-paul@records-ent.co.za

They have a lot more energy than I do!
Re sharing the blog via email – not that I’m aware of. It has to be via a website. Google or Facebook can do the trick.

I haven’t been around in a while, but I’m glad to see you’re doing well, and keeping busy. My oldest sons baby girl is just turning one, so I’m enjoying every moment as a grandfather.. Take care. P.S. I finally got that book, I’ve been working on completed. Now it’s time to move to the next one.
