The temperature in Vancouver has been in the 0'ish range lately, and it's supposed to snow tomorrow. Since I'm a responsible pet owner, I've moved my worms into my apartment until the temperature reaches 5 degree lows once again.

 

When I was lugging the box inside, I was amazed at how heavy it was. Even though I don't always have a lot to feed them, 7 months of banana peels do add up. At this rate, I'll have to start thinking what I'm going to do with the compost soon.

Done done done.

After years of paddling, I have registered myself for swimming lessons at the Vancouver Aquatic Centre.

 

Adult 1: Basic introduction to the water. Introduction to front and back floats and basic propulsion.

Adult 2: Introduction to front and back glides with basic propulsion. Introduction to front crawl, 1-2-3 breathe. Introduction to deep water activities.

 

I figured since I already know the basics of the front crawl, I would just skip the Adult 1 and go straight into Adult 2. The very notion of deep water activities is scaring me a bit though. Visions of me slowly sinking keep running through my mind. Let me revise that. It's not scaring me a bit, it's scaring the bejeebies out of me. I no longer have any bejeebies left to scare out. It's not good.
