Yesterday the weather was great enough that my boyfriend and I decided to exercise at the Horse Shoe Pool in Guernsey. We aimed for 100 meter swim. Not a straight swim but just series of lapses back and forth. But we have exceeded our goal and ended up doing 120 meters instead. We were so knackered but it was fun.

It was actually really fun. The effort makes me release all these pent up energy I have from being out of work.

@flapiz I understand. It relieves the stress. I'm exercising right now. Exercising my jaws. I'm eating a piece of cake.

@DaddyEvil Hahaha that is a very good exercise. Although I suggest gum is instead of cake so it doesn't become unproductive

My favorite sport! The water looks beautiful. Glad you had fun! Yeah swimming can take a lot out of you. Bananas in between practices used to help me with energy.

@Greencindere Wow you sound like you had an amazing dad. Swimming to me is very cathartic. Maybe I was a mermaid in my past life.

@flapiz no not professional hahahah. Used to swim for my school team in high school that’s it lol. But the love for swimming was always there. Learned how to swim when I was 3 and my dad used to always take us to swimming pools and in summers would spend the whole summer holiday (2 and a half months in Serbia) near a body of water and he made us go for a swim in the morning and in the afternoon so I developed the habit and the appreciation.

Nice you having some good time there with your BF. I think water that clear is indeed very tempting to dip and cool yourselves from there. I am just wondering how hot it was there?

@flapiz I thought summer is almost over there. I thought you are nearing autumn there.

@rsa101 Well British weather is a lot temperamental. Today afternoon looks like summer. This morning it was gloomy you just won't know what you will get.

I don't know how hot specifically but it was fairly hot compared to our winter swims. It is summer hot

“knackered” That’s a great British word. Swimming is good for you but not something I do.

You both might have tired after completing a 120 m swim. I always wished to learn to swim but could not as I dont have a swimming pool nearby my home.

We do try to do something a day as I do turn quite snarky when we aren't doing much. I have so much energy to spend.
