Ted

Has swum every day it's been possible to. Today I did a river swim with him in the Dronne, including around an island. The on-shore watchers looked up from their drawing/reading, and J asked where we'd gone. C replied 'Dad's probably taken him somewhere dangerous'. As it was we had a great swim, trees overhanging the river, sunlight dappling the water, and no-one around apart from the 2 of us and a lot of (small) fish in the water. Really impressed by him, out of his depth all the way. Tonight he curled up on the sofa wrapped in a blanket he'd christened the 'Champions Blanket' and tried to convince me we should do it again, but next time with C and S. However, his incessant cry this holiday of 'Merci Beaucoup, good day to you' has got on everyone's nerves so much it means that it's pretty unlikely to happen!
