Against all expectation, the leisure centre pool is open in the *mornings*! 7:30-9am on MWF. I'm going to arrange for a cab to pick me up at 7am MWF so I have no excuse to not go, and WOOT! I'm all excited! Must find all my swim stuff and get it together! *runs around, runs around*! They've got evening swimming as well, but I'd rather swim in the mornings. My thought for the moment is to swim 3x a week through September and then maybe start weights on alternate days or something, but right now if I can just manage the swimming that'll be a huge win. :)

autopope rules from orbit. He's got a secondhand Dana he's going to be sending my way. WOOT twice! I think I'm going to like it, and its big test will be when I go up to Belfast in early October for a CommonRo gig; that's a fair lot of train time (or worse, bus time, if I go the very cheap route) and it would be very nice to put it to use.

I have been extremely pleased with a lot of my kitsnaps photos, but this one may be my favorite so far. Which, wow, jeez, suddenly makes me realize I'd talked idly about maybe doing a calendar this fall, and gosh darn if it isn't fall. I'd probably have to do a cafepress sort of thing, as I'm not sure "pictures of Ireland" falls under ellenmillion's "fantasy art" sufficiently to talk her into doing a calendar for me, but, hrn. Would anybody be *interested* in such a thing? There's...a couple hundred photos to choose from, though most of them wouldn't be worthy. Hm. Hrn. Well. Lemme know if you think I should give it a whirl. :)

Ok, I should go back to work now. *scoots*
