Glorious, sunny ๐ŸŒž Sunday morning for @Amathusdbc #Dragonboat ๐Ÿฒ training. 2 boats, big & small, out, working hard in preparation for the next BDA National league event in Stockton next Sunday. Lots of other craft on the water too - including a speedboat towing a pontoon ๐Ÿ™‚

Great start to the @eurovision.tv Song Contest final with Graham Norton commenting, "Remember, if you don't like tonight's songs - there were worse ones" ๐Ÿ˜„

The Wolverhampton pub with the tree in the gents toilet. I was looking for the poem, but it was no longer on the wall. As we were leaving the barman said he still had it and showed it to me. ๐Ÿ˜„

Bank Holiday trip to Eccleston, Lancashire today, for a mooch around Bygone Times massive warehouse of antiques, vintage, pop culture & bric-a-brac stuff. Didn't find what we were looking for, but there was a lot of tempting wants rather than needs ๐Ÿ˜„

Nice evening for @Amathusdbc #Dragonboat ๐Ÿฒ training - preparing for the first race event of the season on Sunday. Boats cleaned, then out on the water in 2 boats, trying different turn techniques to see which works best. Some powerful runs - one boat had a tremendous drive. ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿป

Nice, mostly daylight @Amathusdbc #Dragonboat ๐Ÿฒ training evening with a light breeze. I was asked to helm the small boat. Good fun, as it turns on a sixpence, but I had a battle keeping it level on the straights Coach did a mid-piece weight adjustment - a scary lurch then OK ๐Ÿ˜„

Our Jack is 21 years old today! ๐ŸŽ‚ How time flies. This cheeky little lad is now a final year student. ๐Ÿ™‚

It was a sunny Sunday morning today, with a moderate breeze. Two @Amathusdbc #Dragonboat s ๐Ÿฒout for some tough training, using our new mantra as a best form reminder.
