End of summer?

It is slowly dawning on me that summer is coming to a close. The weather is still good but it is cooling down. At 5:30 a.m. this morning it was 13 degrees.

Surf Lifesaving
Patrolling has finished now and the last thing left for the season is to finish the rookie program. There is a rookie challenge on Saturday where the rookies compete in teams of 5, we are doing some extra evening training, the last two sessions being tonight & tomorrow. Then I need to get them all through their bronze training and into the senior club.

Ross Fearon & Steve Newman have started ski training for the rookies and I have decided to give it a go too. Went out for half an hour on Sunday but spent most of my time falling off and climbing back on again.

Day light saving
We we're back to normal time now, but as I have been getting up around 5 on weekdays it doesn't make much difference to me at the moment. Other than driving home last night with the lights on.

Swimming
Parnell closed last week on Friday so now I need to work out the winter swimming schedule. I went to the millennium this morning to train with the surf club, it starts at 5:30 a.m. but other than the early start I really enjoyed it. Left my car at Constellation park & ride and then took the bus in and was in the office by 7:05. I think I'll keep this up on Tues & Thurs mornings.
