Finding the joy in every day. 5/13/24 I fell in love with this dress when I was doing a modelling gig for a clothing store. I tried on many different dresses but the ones that were kind of funky were my favourites. I love asymmetrical layer, big pockets, zippers and comfort. I never wear hats…

Finding the joy in every day. 5/12/24 Today was a perfect day for a swim at Ross Bay. Light wind. Warm sun. A hint of waves. Water felt warmer than it has in the last week. We stayed in 10 minutes although my swim partner wanted to stay in longer! Considering the water temp is…

He is very cantankerous…

Finding the joy in every day. 5/6/24 At the top of the Ross Bay hill a poppy greeted us on our way to the cove. So delicate and yet able to grow here on the hill in very little soil. High tide in the cove, in spite of the 30 kilometre wind gusts, small waves.…

Finding the joy in every day. 5/5/24 Today I’m going for a dip at the Ross Bay Cove as there is quite a bit of wind. This is where I started my dipping last winter for my #100days project. It provides shelter and safety in its little cove although in stormy weather the logs find…

Finding the joy in every day. 5/4/24 Today is Day 92 of my 100 day posts of this blog. Yes, I actually counted because I knew I was getting close. It was around this time last year that I celebrated 100daysofcoldwaterswimming. I like the feeling of completing these challenges. I promised my partner we would…
