Hot hot hot!
5:10 pm Mon, 17th July 2006Man we have quite a hot week coming up. Today was 32. Tomm 34, wednesday 36!!! š® Not bad for “chilly” london eh! Anyway, I’m gonna take FULL advantage of this hot weather to go swimming at the Lido. And what is a lido I hear you ask? It’s basically what they call outdoor pools here. There are very few in London, but one happens to be kinda close to where I live. Well, not close, but fairly convenient to get to. And this is the largest lido in London – its 90m long and 30m wide!!! Really great for doing laps – quite a challenge. The first time I swam the length, I had to pause twice. 90m is quite long, and it was kinda a bit of “are we there yet?”.. hehe. Not I’m getting used to the length, I’ve managed to do 6 laps, with minimal pauses at each end. Hopefully tonight I’ll bump that up to 7 or 8! My aim is to be able to swim 1 km. By the end of summer here hopefully. I love swimming. Dunno what I’m gonna do once winter hits again.
Anyway, I’m quite happy with my.. achievement so far with my fitness. I’m slowly but surely dragging my body back in shape. Have lost a couple of those london winter kilos, and am getting fitter and stronger. I’m dancing once a week, and going to the gym (or swim) once or twice a week on top. Feelin good. Gotta love summer! š Just a shame there are no beaches. *sigh*
Well, sorry about my last, rather morbid, post. I still am sorting through stuff. And I’m not always feeling so depressive. Dunno when I’ll find the answers, but I’m sure I’ll figure things out eventually. Need some regeneration time alone perhaps. London being London, its always so hectic. I barely have time to breathe during my week at work. Anyway, I’m off to swim now. Ciao ciao. š

Hi kazzart!
I recently ‘discovered’ you by stumbeling on your video blogs on youtube. I really like them, especially the ones where you go to dance class or take the buss to work. It shows us a glimpse of your daily life.
I read that you play the piano and listened to your wedding recording. You’re good, way better than me (i’m still a beginner). If you have any more recordings of just you playing the piano, I would love to hear them.
I also read that you don’t have a piano at your place. Don’t lose your skills, you worked hard to get where you are now. Try to play at a store or a piano bar.
Now for your blog. It’s hot here too. Today was the beginning of a heatwave that will last till thursday. Right now it’s 28 ĆĀ°C in my room, and rising.
I think you must be allready quite fit, with all the dancing and exersizing you do. I think that 1 km swim is gonna happen.
I havn’t been to london yet, but I think it’s a nice place to live. I do hear it’s quite expensive, but I guess you’re making more money then overhere.
I love reading and watching your blogs, and allready looking forward to the next one.
You’ve got a new fan.
greetings from Belgium!
