I’ve just had a weekend off, completely, for the first time in a while. Not even a cursory glance at the computer on Saturday and Sunday. It was definitely needed.
Tonight I’ve just finished three out of four pre-course tasks for my SQH Unit 4 taught days at Peebles Hydro this week, Wednesday to Friday. All that remains is my final formal presentation, on my learning to date with my school improvement project, and my preparation for the programme review group meeting on Wednesday evening that I’ve agreed to be a part of.
I must admit this term has been an absolute marathon with everything that the SQH brings on top of the normal ‘everyday’ workload. The great thing is that I have come through intact, just about!
I also have my swimathon on Sunday night, swimming 2.5km for Marie Curie Cancer research. My training has faltered badly recently under the pressure of everything else, so I think I might need the maximum 2 hours allowed to finish it!
Sleep required.

Good luck with the swimathon, Barry. I recall doing something similar at the start of this century, which involved swimming 80 lengths-per-day for 25 days. Once I had to cut it short to get to a gig and compensated by doing 145 lengths the following day. I felt great when I came out but realised, when I bumped into acquaintances in Tesco’s, that I was out of my mind on endorphins and could scarcely string together a sentence.

So how did the swim go?

That’s a good time - you must have been racing!
