Tis only a few days till the Pier to Pier swim, one more training session tomo, woooo! Looking at forecast n stuff, it looks likely there’ll be some waves to contend with on sunday making it a bit harder going… still the ambition remains to swim it in one go.

BIG THANKS to everyone who’s sponsored me so far, I’ve exceeded my £250 target (any more greatfully rec’d by sunday please).

FIRE want to run a feature on me doing the swim on air, so I’ll be popping in tomo to be interviewed by the news team, which’ll be weird… they also want me to stick on a branded t-shirt when I get out the sea.

This will most likely be my last blog, pre-swim, as my mum’s coming to town this weekend and I have a show and gig to squeeze in before sunday… so the next update, will be post-swim!! eeek…

Monday/Tuesday was taken up playing a last minute booking with the fabulous cut-up boys for a private event in Abersoch North Wales, very rock n roll as I had to catch a flight from Southampton to Manchester and then be picked up (with the cut up boys) by a driver and taken the remainder of the journey.

We got free drinks all night (although I only had 2, gotta think of the swim!), a cool hotel room each… had a wicked time, the pic below is the view from the terrace outside where we played and then me with the cut-up boys at the end of the night:

Had to get up early the next morning to meet the driver for a full welsh (english) breakfast at 8, then off to the airport to land 24hrs on the nose to when I left… spooky.

For those of you that don’t know where Abersoch is (I didn’t) here’s a map

Being a gorgeous day, I persuaded my flatmate to remove herself from daytime TV and take another road trip… to see the giant homer at Cerne Abbas!

I’ve been to see the giant dude a few times and NEVER seen so many people there as today! Both car parks were full, with cars on verges n stuff, must be good for local shops n stuff… we took a walk up the side of the giant homer…

amusingly though, no-one in the press seems to of picked up on the name of the nearest street… which is just a bit round the corner and with homer almost visible from a different angle!

I’ve been thinking about diet n fitness post swim.

Trainings become a habit now, at first it was hard to make myself to go but now I think I’ll probably carry on as I am. Certainly the changes I’ve made to my diet I’ll keep, I’ll swim once a week, maybe not 120 though as it takes ages!

Time specific quantifiable goals… thats what its all about.

I can’t make bike club monday night I’m DJing in abersoch , apologies, reckon it’ll be a nice day for it though.

I had a truly spooky co-incidence today… I took the bike out for a spin, not serious training but a good blast to clear the cobwebs n have a think…

Trundling along I was thinking about my goals and plans, I’m just thinking “yeah, I think I’d still like a Lotus Elise…” turn the corner and there’s about 20 of the bleedin’ things parked all the way along westover road!

It’s a sign I tell you, his noodliness wants me to get one!
