Gone swimmin'

This morning dawned bright and sunny. Nick and I took a walk around Longwood (with the camera, of course). It’s becoming less of a novelty to have sunshine at 8 am! I struck up a conversation with an old Saint man who was looking for something to prop up the flowers in his garden. He offered us sugar cane and coffee beans, but unfortunately we couldn’t go back during the day due to lack of time.

After school (and it’s been working pretty well running from 8.30 to 12 with half an hour’s break) we had a quick lunch here and then went off to town. Nick dropped off his latest, unreleased, un-anythinged CD with Danny Couts, from whom Nick bought the electric guitar he uses.

Nick had a short prison visit after which we went to the pool. The boys are both swimming well now without armbands, although they always wear flippers in the pool which gives them a nice boost. Nick did a few lengths. We ate our traditional Friday night pizza outside as it was such a lovely evening!
