I have recently arrived at what I think is brilliant spicing for my dinner time salad. The salad is slightly different every day anyway - but today I tried za'tar and rose petals in it and left out some other stuff. It wasn't as nice as the one I had yesterday - buts that's ok, it's triggered ideas for a better variation. (More cumin plus fresh coriander or parsley I think)
Jambomo Feb 2016 2:27pm, 10 Feb 2016 5,633 posts	Quote Pin Jambomo I applied to the ballot for the Swim Serpentine mile in September. I have done a little bit of Open Water Swimming but not this much and I haven't yet done a proper event or swam in the Serpentine I'll not be treating it as an event, I plan to swim and then float a bit in the water and enjoy the view, just generally enjoy myself

Sharkie Feb 2016 2:55pm, 10 Feb 2016 8,663 posts	Quote Pin Sharkie Of course it counts, Linds. And being pleased is the Beyoncé bonus!
Jambomo Feb 2016 2:57pm, 10 Feb 2016 5,636 posts	Quote Pin Jambomo Here it is LindsD It works along the same lines as the London Marathon (Run by the same folk) as its a ballot system and you find out at the end of may if you get in or not. I have some other swims in mind if I can't do this one swimserpentine.co.uk
Sharkie Feb 2016 2:59pm, 10 Feb 2016 8,664 posts	Quote Pin Sharkie Ok, another New Thing I'm doing is more of a revisit, but I haven't done it for ages and I'm doing it in a new way. Re-learning basic Spanish. Am also going to brush up my French and Italian... but I can't do it all at once. I COULD start an entirely new language - but they're the three I like.
