Now, I'm ready!

I purchased this fetching piece of swim kit yesterday from a sweet, little shop in Oxford, called "Saratoga". 

The staff there were helpful and knowledgeable, when I rang up. I shared my hair and swimming dilemmas with them, and they immediately suggested this lovely Hedgehog hat.

Isn't it adorable!? 

If this doesn't inspire me to meet my 10k goal, I don't know what will!

Saratoga Fine Lingerie have made a friend for life in me! Stressing to them that I'd like to start my swim today (which I would), they guaranteed delivery and indeed, it arrived early this afternoon. 

Marvelous! 

And, so, with my light-blue swim costume/suit, I shall match the lovely Marie Curie Cancer Care logo:

Go, Team DEB!!!

A bit of inspiration

First of all, I'm rubbish at math(s)! I have been saying that I have completed 2.8K in training for my 5K swim. I have, in fact, completed 3.7K! 


Clearly, simple addition is not a strong suit of mine.


So, the start of the Swimathon looms, my neck strain has returned, and I fear my Coffee Morning's going to be one gigantic failure! And, to crown all, like a fool, I raised our target fundraising goal to £1000. 


Needless to say, I'm stressed, panicked and anxious.


True to form, I have decided to procrastinate by focussing on randomly related things. My latest distractionary obssession is...Swimming Caps. 


In an attempt to source something that will keep my hair from getting in the way and/or turning green, the following have caught my eye. A winsome homage to glamourous era of Elizabeth Taylor?
