Swimming, Pilates

Today Andie is with her dad, so I was able to get up early and rocket out for my 7:00 a.m. swim class, given by Oannes Swims at the John Innes Community Centre, home of the Devilfish swim team.

Then, in the evening I went to Pilates class at the new location. We’re overlooking a park from several stories up! I can do my exercises while looking at the sky.

After that I picked up Andie for the remainder of her visit. She had gone shopping and bought a couple of small presents for her half-sister.

Bad news

In the BookCrossing community. SH’s brother Matt died in the early hours of March 10 of Wegener’s granulomatosis,* an auto-immune disease that struck out of the blue. It might have been triggered by a streptococcus infection. He was only 29 years old.

(*an uncommon disorder characterized by inflammation and degeneration of small blood vessels. The disease usually occurs in mid-adult life. Almost any organ may be affected, but most often the diseased vessels are in the respiratory tract, kidneys, and spleen.}
