Hard on the heels of yesterday’s blog comes todays’. I failed to push the publish button yesterday. Too busy getting out of the house to join the bobbers.

The tides and the weather are being kind this week. This is not our usual location for a bigger bobbing group but the perfection of tide and weather had made our usual jumping off spot very congested.

This location with slopes and steps is perfect for solo or two person swimming, but as no one else was there it accommodated 9 bobbers and a dog very well. But it was the previous day swim for two that prompted this illustration that prompted this blog

A friend and I had planned a late afternoon swim the previous day. Beyond the swim she arrived very much as a woman on a mission. She needed chocolate and she needed it now. So as no swimmer should ever do we headed off to the pub first.

The pub in question the V.O.T serves very good cake.

As it turned out the pub sold exactly the cake that would set my friend very much on an even keel. She said, throwing in a nautical cliche.

She chose an epic chocolate cake embellished with creatively deconstructed Snickers bars.

Choosing the healthy option I went for Blueberry and Lemon embellished with gold leaf.

Both cakes set us up for a wonderful, seemingly endless swim, and a good long chat and laughter that definitely put the worlds to right.

Not much more needs to be said.
