At the bach

Thanks to the generosity of the Barnes-Grahams we have been able to spend a long weekend at the bach at Tairua. I've been looking forward to this for a while as I've felt my stress levels building for a while.

Life seems very busy at the moment, I've been keeping my swimming & fitness up, which usually means a 5:30ish start in the morning, but can be as early at 4:40 if I'm swimming at the millenium. Work has also been quite full on and add to that scouting and surf life saving and the time just gets spread a bit thin.

Lifesaving season is now finished so that's one thing that will have less demands on my time, which is great.

However, I had stopped doing Toastmasters as it conflicted with Parnell swimming, with the intention of taking it up during the winter. But as I rejoined VF toastmasters was in the process of closing down. Kimson Co, a VF employee from a different Toastmaster club decided to try and keep it going and I agreed to help, so I am now the treasurer, a role I have not done before. With Kimson's energy it looks like the club will get going with a bang, some people are even worried that the club may get too big!! And I agreed to do speech 10 on our first meeting so I better start working on it.

We have enjoyed our first day or so here, really lazy time spent around the bach, playing games, reading books and doing puzzles. Went and found some geocaches and then had a very pleasant dinner.
