100! (100/365)
Apr. 10th, 2021 07:11 pmWe're 100 days into 2021, and I'm 100 days into my attempt to post here every day. (I'm also 100 days into my resolution to get outside for a walk or a swim every day, though my actual streak of walks/swims is a lot longer than that - I can't remember the last time I didn't do one or the other. Possibly the day we drove back from visiting my parents in September.)
While 100 days from 1 January technically puts us well into spring, the weather today (as we observed while hurrying into our clothes on the riverbank) is pretty similar to a lot of the weather we had in January, and colder than some. The water, however, is warmer, at about 8 or 9°C rather than 3 or 4, and there is a lot less of it; after a winter of floods the river is safely back within its banks and the flow has dropped to a much more sedate level, though going upstream still took about three and a half times longer than swimming back with the current.
Apart from swimming, I have spent most of today working on sewing a pencil case out of scrap fabric, and have 200 poppers (press studs) arriving tomorrow because apparently you can't buy small quantities of poppers.
