Update

Ello everybody,

Just an update with a few bits of news...

Firstly, work, it's going well, getting lots of new staff at the moment and theres been 2 lifeguard courses held at our centre in the past 3 weeks. Its always interesting to see the newbies while they are on the course..and laugh at the way they do things..yes of course, I was once in their spot and im sure I was laughed at...but its just too funny watching them. Working alot of early shifts more than other shifts these days, so I'm up at 4 45am most mornings!! I bet you all dont believe it ;)

Today I had my first pool rescue. There was a group of local kids having a session in the pool and a few couldnt swim. While the teacher was talking to them about things, 2 of them jumped in the deep end...and one couldnt swim..he panicked right away, realising how deep it was and his friend tried to help him, but just made it worse because he pushed him under water....this of course all took a few seconds...I had seen it all, and had to jump in, bring him to the surface and tow him to the side of the pool. He was ok after it all, but is gonna go to the doc for a routine check up after a near drowning as water in the lungs can lead to secondary drowning.
It was all very fast and quite scary, but it showed me just how important my job really is.

Last weekend in Cardiff, Bart and I went to the Bay to see a live show. It was pretty good, lots of music, dancing, kinda acrobatic stuff, fireworks and foam! I will put the pics up as soon as I get them from Bart. Am off to Cardiff again this weekend as it's Barts Birthday on Monday so I am taking him to dinner one of the nights. This weekend there will also be the UK's largest travelling fare in the city so we prolly gonna go to that too. Cant wait!!

Last week I played my first game of softball since last season...and finally got my team shirt and nicname....I got named "Foo-Foo". They say its a cute name for someone young so thats why they chose it, but when i googled it, I found out it was Miss Piggys poodle dog....hmmmmm ??? LOL....I will put pics of the shirt up for you all to see soon. It was great to play again, i sure had missed it. Hopefully i will be able to play the last game of the season next week or the week after..not sure.

The weather here has been amazing the last week and a half. Was up to 30.9 C a few days ago, and is about 25 and above most other days. Hopefully its gonna carry on and be a good summer.

Otherwise, not much else happening that I can think of. Im really looking forward to Dad coming over and seeing him and going travelling down the coast with him at the end of August. :)

Hope everyone is well, as always, miss u all.

Take care and will write again soon.
