We did our first swim for July today. It was cold and to make matters worse I had a sore throat and a bit of a cough; I didn't feel I could go to 'gym' because of it and so I stayed home. However ...... Yeah, yeah, I shouldn't have hopped out of bed to go for the swim but J and I had to get it out of our systems and once we say those fatal words, "let's go and look at the water", the deal is all but set in stone.
And talking about 'stone', I think I've broken a tooth on a jelly baby - they should be called concrete babies! Dentist on the agenda.
I was warm after a half an hour or so of getting home from my swim, but after eating about a full litre of ice cream (sore throat, remember?), I suddenly became so cold I took to bed in socks, tights, nightie, sweater and the heater on full blast.
Changing subjects: I truly love the Miramar Peninsular (I've noticed that shops around the 'peninsula' spell the word in different ways). I adore walking around it, The peninsula starts at Miramar Wharf opposite the 'All Blacks' sign put up on the hill by Weta Workshop, passes Scorching Bay, cuts across Seatoun village to the Pass of Branda, goes through Breaker Bay, and finishes at Lyall Bay. There are also lots of tracks and zig-zags, but more about them in a future blog.
