Letter of the day..... A

Aaaaa-haaaa

Yes today's letter is..... (drum roll)....

A

Aaah what? I hear... yes the letter A

Wiki had quite a bit to say about "A" but I'd rather just leave it at this...

Without "A" our (well those who use the Latin Alphabet) we wouldn't be able to start the journey through our alphabet, fancy starting with B?!

We'd also be a vowel short and some words would look really odd!

We can surprise someone, catch them out and shout "A-ha!"

We can look at a baby and say "Ahhh"

Or scream and say "AAaaaaaahhhh!"

and what would Mwaaaahhh be without the "A"?

A is the Alpha of the Alphabet (well if you're into your Nato phonetics at least)

Tomorrow is a new day, and maybe A nother letter?

Letter of the day... M

Today I'm going for

M

Or MMmmmmmmmmm if you're eating something tasty.

M is not so interesting as O or N really.... Even Wiki doesn't have much to say about the trusty M. BUT, without it my middle name would be "arie" rather then "Marie" and I do like Marie so I for one am glad of the 'M'

Yes I know - this is actually my second blog in the same morning!

GOLLY!

Anyhow - thought I'd share some swim camp pictures (thanks Jules for uploading!)

First off Jules and Anita swimming (this is the last day of the camp so clearly they look good in the pool - nice body position etc etc.... prior to this camp they both swam like an octopus - only kidding guys ;o)... now they are sleek, water pushing, body gliding swimmers... ahem)
and Anita;

They both usually look whacked after some of the killer sets....

...
but always managed to put on a brave, smiley face after....
We took ourselves to the pool bar regularly, even allowing out mate "pool buoy" to come along too;
Archie the coach often got us stretching before the pool sessions;
.. and all this swimming led Anita to have quite a problem with water in the ears, (either that or Jules had been talking in her ears for too long and she was doing the whole "la la la la la I can't hear you" thing....)
...and despite Anita and I not sharing the flat with Jules this time - we still managed to sneak our way in for some downtime, Anita even managed to corner the "sofa of snooze" on one occasion, and wasn't wanting to leave for the next swim session;

And of course swim camp wouldn't have been complete without the coach... Swimming along I'd often see Archie telling me to "STOP"

In which case you'd hang on to the side to be given new "guidance"
Or simply you'd be swimming along and get one of the following signs;
Karen saw this and thought... "OK I've got to get that hand in better"


or
Karen thought... "crap... yes ...I've forgotten about that whole back bit of the stroke"

or occasionally;
Karen thought... "Wholly Molly... I'm doing something right!!"... I didn't see this sign too much!
