Busy times in late Feb

This was a bit of a crazy final week of February, where I went up to Aberdeen to be part of a geothermal conference on Tuesday through Thursday, then went into London on Friday and met up with Evie.  Its so nice to see her, not just because she is a lovely person but also because she is a step closer to my girl Rhiannon. I miss her so much.

The start of something, maybe

 Today we hosted a workshop for the beginnings of a geothermal coalition for the UK. 

We will see what happens next!

Our Ice Swimming Champion

 Our friend and fellow mermadam Kim (who is a proper swimmer, having swum the English Channel and other amazing water based feats) has qualified for the Ice Swimming World Championships, which take place this year in Italy.  It looks like a normal pool but the temperature is 34 F / 1.2 C and every morning the organizers have to chip the layer of ice off the surface of the pool!  Anyway, it was very exciting to watch the live stream of her competing in the 200 m , 500 m and 1000 m.  

 

She is such an inspiration!  She came out as the fastest British swimmer and #4 in the world!  We are going to plan a welcome home celebration party for her in a couple of weeks.

Welcome visitors

Today Sions, JJ, Gwydion and Winnie Dog came to visit us.  The humans are going to head on holiday to a warm place and we will look after Winnie until they come back in a couple of weeks. 

We do love when people (and dogs) come to visit us.

Winter swimming

We had the rare attendance of a gentleman caller in our midst on Saturday and he took these photos of us

A great way to kick off the month!
