For some time we've been just south of the frontal cloud, only just the tip of Cornwall sticking out at times. It's certainly too hot for the wetsuit today.

Jubilee Pool http://www.covecottagestloy.co.uk/wp...bilee-pool.jpg is closed today until 2pm, for the official opening (by Prince Charles) and misc Councillors, some of who voted against it's re-opening.

Given that approx 1,000 paid to go in the pool over the course of yesterday, at an average cost of around £3 per head, 5 lifeguards had to be on duty, perhaps Charles will make up the shortfall. Maybe even make a donation to the Friends.

Still, I suppose it's all good publicity.

Graham. If I may ask, do you still surf and do you swim in choppy seas. I was a coward when I went swimming in Perranporth, when that swell came in and me feet didn't touch the ground plus that feeling of being dragged out , blimey no way.

Yes, I go swimming a fair bit, my surfing is limited to bodyboarding these days.

As you get older, there's less & less you can do purely for fun & a bit of excitement. It doesn't matter how old you are, or how crap you are, I'm fairly addicted. Also it's a great form of escapism - just forget the world for a while.
