I've been playing school all morning with BigMac as she was quite put out that she couldn't go to school today. So far we've covered. numeracy, literacy and art i.e.maths and spellings on the programmes the school recommends and did some Arts and Crafts. Now we're watching Batteries Not Included for a reward as she's getting tired. Thankfully, no more sickness since the one in school yesterday morning. But yet another day off work for me and OH is rearranging all his meetings tomorrow so he can work at home. Ruddy bugs........

I've never swum in a wetsuit, no, but I understood they helped - added buoyancy and streamlining? IF i do one, the swimming will be in the Lido but I think wetsuits are permitted. There's also the Swanage Bay swim as a possibility in July - I'd definitely want a wetsuit for that one.

You definitely float more when you have a wetsuit and they also keep you warmer which is good if you hate the cold.

Just for the record I have never peed in my wetsuit!

I'm going to get soggy on my bike ride home, just as well I have my Sealskinz socks with me :-)

Presumably these wetsuits can be washed or otherwise cleaned between wearings?

(Middle Son is planning to get himself one, for surfing. He wanted money for Christmas, to put towards the cost).

Been swimming. Not in a wetsuit, not in a Lido nor a dock. In a nice heated pool. Teacher says my coordination is improving.
