The Pier to Pier swim was a great success – of 8 starters, 2 didn’t make it the whole way but 7 made it to the end.

Yes, I know the maths doesn’t add up, but we had a late starter 2/3 of the way through.

On Saturday, Lissy Fish and Pastor Dave are swimming just over 1 mile between the Boscombe and Bournemouth piers. That’s in the sea. With waves and stuff. Sounds cold to me.I want to say that ‘some others’ are swimming as well, but no-one seems to be able to tell me if that’s anyone I know or not. Either way, they’re starting at 12:00 (Boscombe pier) if you want to come and encourage them.

Also, on Sat evening at 9:00 Alex is starting to walk a marathon in aid of breast cancer for which I understand he has to wear a bra (the moonwalk). Fortunately that’s in Edinburgh so neither the smell from his feet or the screams of those seeing him in womens underwear should reach us down here. Seriously though we all wish him well also and hope we don’t see him joining the ‘foot issues’ row at the front of church when he’s back.
