LD - if you'd seen the 5m long croc (alpha male, approx 50yo) we saw today, 2m long 'baby 3 year old', and the 2m long 'jumping tree snake' - you wouldn't get me near a kayak in the Daintree.

Although the orchids were pretty!

Got my rejection email from VMLM...again! That's 9 times in a row. However, through my running club and marshalling the finish line I've done it three times and could be on for a 4th next year anyway. I'll find out in January, so I better train for it just in case. :-)

don't like the sound of the wildlife so much Um - which is why I've never got around to visiting my brother (he obviously doesn't want me to anyway, keeps posting arachnid pics on facebook)

I have been to Pilates (ooof!) and I have swum -for, I think, the first time this year (apart from lifeguard test) - it was the oldies session. I was old enough to be allowed in, but not old enough to get a discount! I was also one of only 3 actually swimming, the rest were stood at the side gossiping.

I know! I asked if I could not wear the buoyancy belt and was told that was not an option.

Yes do tell Linds
Rebound this morning. Billions of squats, I kept thinking this might make the long run on Saturday less pleasant...

Well done Linds, I love deep water aqua but haven't done it for ages. You have to wear a buoyancy belt and pull your stomach in to keep yourself as upright as possible. I used to find that I was actually sweating in the water.
