Swimming

Yesterday was the first day this year I'd managed to pull myself together and swim in the pool. The water was still cold but not as bad as I thought. Hopefully now (or when I finish the deck) we can get in 5 to 6 good months of enjoyment around the pool. I think this Summer's going to be a hot one so we'll need it. I take William for his first swimming lesson next week. Should be fun!

A day at the Gold Coast

William and I decided to get out of Andrew's way for the day last Sunday and go to the Gold Coast to visit my friend Sam. She lives about a five minute drive from the beach, so we took a picnic and bucket & spade and spent a pleasant (if not slightly wind-swept!) couple of hours on the beach. William amused himself for ages digging holes in the sand and filling them up with water, before jumping up and down in them.
