Today, after a busy weekend, we were able to get down to the beach... but only one of us swam. Understandable, since only one of us has a new winter wet suit! The water was very, very cold, but the wetsuit was wonderful, and I only had to get used to my feet being frozen before I could really enjoy the water.
We have been lighting the fire in the big house every night for our guests, and I'm trying to get into this whole 'winter' thing. We had a minimum of 0 degrees the other night... which is 4 degress off the RECORD minimum for June in Swansea, of -4. Some days don't even make it into the teens. Still, it's nice to get out and chop some wood with my new Axe, after Jodie had a close look at the one I was using. I thought it was going to last another season, but the handle was starting to break apart. After the last exciting episode with wood chopping accidents, Jodie explained that it made fiscal sense [appealing to the right [left] side of my brain] that we avoid another trip to the emergency room.
I'm finally out of the water, and I'm really, really WARM! As small as the waves are, I'd prefer to mess about in them rather than try for some longer distance swiming.
While Jodie was away, I literally let my hair down - but I don't think it will last too much longer.
