10 days on and I still haven't told you what my birthday present was.

Remember when I went through a weird period of contemplation last year, when I wondered whether it was worth buying a Winter wetsuit? Well Philippa took the decision out of my hands and bought me one for my 38th! It was a genuine surprise, I can tell you. Mainly because, like most of my little fads and short-lived fancies, I had completely forgotten that it was ever a thing in the first place. But I'm very glad she did it. Now, I just have to wait until I'm allowed out to play again, and then I can head straight to the beach to try it out! Part of me wishes I'd taken it out on my actual birthday, but the whole point of that challenge was swim in the sea as if it was August, so I'm glad I saw that through, even though I'm not really glad that I did it, if you see what I mean.

Anyway, one of our main caravan sites that I help look after has a footpath down to a secluded beach, so next time I'm there (this week hopefully? maybe next week?) I can take the new toy with me and wander down to the seaside for a frosty afternoon plunge!
