I know… I know… more boring swim updates… bla bla bla… i’m swimming 100 lengths non-stop now, which I’m very happy about, plus I’m well on track to my sponsorship target (thanks to all of you who’ve sponsored me so far)

Thanks to Ruths help on sunday, I’ve bought a shiny new wetsuit so I can start swimming in the sea now as well… ooohh…

More change to aLUKEonLIFE as promised… on the left you’ll now find excerpts from the latest posts from the blogs I link to, instead of just the links… ooohhh.

So if you read one or more of those as well a quick glance will tell you if they’ve posted anything new!

*GEEK BIT BEGINS*

This uses an XML parser to pull each feed from the relevant sites, a bit more php then takes the latest entry of each and then formats it into the list you see.

*GEEK BIT ENDS*

oooohhh

No really.

…well, no not at all actually.

The local paper got all excited about some lights that were seen in the sky last night.

Now having seen the video and read the reports, plus having seen close up some chinese flying lanterns… I’m pretty sure I know what it is!

What amuses me most though (as much as I actually believe it’d be arrogant to think we’re alone in the universe..) is how people seem to be un-conviced by this obvious answer, the way that one person says yes they formed into a triangle and so others then think… hmm maybe they were… yes, they WERE in a triangle formation…

In the wise words of someone famous… great minds think alike… and as my mum says… idiots rarely differ.

You decide… the UFO footage…

and flying chinese lanterns…

well… apparently threats against cute baby seals anyway… thanks to all those who’ve sponsored me, I’d really like to raise at least £250 so if you haven’t already please click to the right >>> or email me and I’ll add you to the manual old school sponsor form.

The baby seal has a reprieve…. for now…

* TRAINING UPDATE *

Todays training was the first time I swam 100 lengths continuosly! Winner. (50×2 previously) This means, I’m ahead of the distance I have to swim (Pier to Pier) in the sea AND I’m swimming it in one hit (as you can’t really stop mid swim in the sea!)
