Birthday trilogy part 1

Hildi's birthday !  and after much card exchanging and present giving, there was one last present, from Joan...freshly caught prawns fromt he day before! What a sight, we all ooh-ed and aahed!  I found out on a later day she had them for lunch :)
The tide was rediculously low and as I, Ollie, wasn't swimming today due to my recent hand injury, I took a few pics of the sun rise as the rest made it out to the remaining buoys and swam East to the last buoy.  There and back, and all over again on his own for Alex before heading back.  Tales of lovely waters made it harder for me to miss out.  They managed to scramble back in without too much bother from the low water as tide had already turned.  Looks gloomy for Fridays swim though... Photos from today will follow shortly but for now here is Hildi's limerick.

There once was a swimmer named Hildi,

Not fussy in her cosy she would wee,

So make sure you’re up stream,

When the water turns green

Or Hildi-wee widdly you will be.
