First Dip of the Summer

    I forgot yesterday to get up at the crack of dawn (actually 7:00 a.m.) to sign up online for my weekly fitness class. So, now I am on the waiting list and just hoping someone doesn't show up so I can get in. I'm not too worried about missing it as there are lots of opportunities to exercise outdoors now that the good weather has returned. Today we had blue skies and a very pleasant 26 degrees.

   Late this afternoon, after cutting the back grass, I was hot and sweaty so decided I needed a cooling plunge (and the water was cool, just on 70 F). I swam up and down the pool for 10 minutes and sat outside to dry off for another few minutes, but by then the temperature was dropping so had to come indoors. Tonight it is to go down to 12C so it may be a few more days until the water heats up enough for me to get in. However, I am glad I managed my first dip before May ended. That's not always the case. 

    Tomorrow the "Wine-Knows" (the wine-tasting group I belong to) are meeting for lunch and, no doubt this will involve some wine. We are meeting at a restaurant rather than someone's house as this is more of an end-of-season celebration rather than an actual wine tasting. We won't meet again until the Fall as quite a few members spend the summer months on vacation or at cottages. My vacation spot is my back yard with a pile of books and a cool drink on hand.
