Mind-goggling

The quest for the perfect pair of goggles...

After I come home from a swim, I rinse my stuff off in the laundry tub, and hang googles and hand paddles over the tap and leave flippers, cap and ear plugs to dry. Over the years I've been looking for the "perfect" pair of goggles. Anti-fog, UV protection, comfortable silicon surrounds, easily adjustable, good vision, leak-proof....and so has my son. We've got quite a collection - there are a couple more rejects hanging over the rail on the door handle as well...

So now, at last, I think I've found them. Prescription goggles - they're the ones in the front. At last I can see the end of the pool clearly, and everything else under the water.

My new cossie

Here's a close-up of my new swimming cossie. It would be too yuck to show the rest of me in it. I like Speedo brand, but recently all the ones in shops here have been BORING. I've bought a couple on the Internet from a UK supplier. One of the reasons I like Speedo is because of their fabric called Endurance. It doesn't perish like older style nylon or lycra did, and is great if you swim most days.

Sounds like a free plug, huh? Well, no, I have no connection with the brand - just a satisfied customer.

OK, normal swimming pool transmission will resume now....
