Friday and Stefan makes a welcome return

Friday. Ollie working, Pete working, Sarah still convalescent (although I hear she is flirting with the sea in the company of Paul W), Joan had given her excuses on Wednesday. It looked like just Hildi and Emma in conditions where the buoys beckoned. Then a late arrival in the shape of Paul C, hooray. And then, what did we spy coming leaping and bounding over the hill?! Stefan! A trip to the bouys would definitely be possible for Emma with lifeguard presence. In the end just Hildi and Emma off to the bouys as Paul didn't have his nose clip. To the bouy and then Hildi have Emma some 'round the bouy' drills. We are in race specific training phase now, after all. Then back in for a half dozen widths and then dressing in the last of the sunshine we were to see that day. Paul is worried we are fragmenting. Where are our Summer swimmers? We need you. The winter has been cold and harsh. Come back! Conditions: like a mill pond but still bollock-curdling cold for the time of year. Although Emma says in a wetsuit it's toasty except for the face.
