"My Kayaking for February 2008"

A pub down Lawn Road, Hampstead on the 28th. I went kayaking that very same evening;)



Can you believe that I didn't take one photo whilst out kayaking for the whole of February! So, I have no picture for the post. I'll think of something I'm sure. In fact, I just looked on my iphotos and the only day that I took a photo on the same day I went kayaking was on the 28th February when I went to The Royal Free Hospital to get this painful coldsore I had on my bottom lip checked out that I had had for over a week and which wouldn't stop bleeding! I had to wait a bit for the docs to come out of a meeting, so I went off for a short walk to Lawn Road behind the hospital to see an art deco block of flats that I saw four years ago during another visit to the RFH. The crime novelist Agatha Christie used to live there. Type Lawn Road Flats into Google and see for yourself. I think they're rather sexy!
Four years ago they were in a right state and were in the process of being completely restored. They look absolutely beautiful now, but I didn't take a photo because there were trees in the way which would have made the photo look rubbish! I had my camera with me to get a shot of the hospital (see last post "This is the Room") and saw a pub with flaky paint on the walls and took a picture of that instead. I went kayaking later that night, so I hope this photo'll do;)



Tuesday 5th February 2008 @ 14:25pm, Twickenham to Teddington Lock and back, windy, rainy, fast flowing river after rain, head wind, I found a big pink rubber dog ball to go with all my tennis balls, temp 9, wind 16.

Thursday 7th February 2008 @ 21:00pm, Ealing Pool, Ian, 90mins, on my way home I saw two London Underground train carriages on the back of lorries going up the Great West Road (London bound) to...the underground?

Thursday 14th February 2008 @ 21:00pm, Ealing Pool, Ian, 90mins, tonight was Valentines night and the pool was almost empty and to make me feel even more single the water volleyballers finished at 22:00 and we had the whole pool to ourselves. To mark the occasion I had earlier drawn (in permanent marker) a blue heart with an arrow shooting through it across my left forearm;)

Thursday 21st February 2008 @ 21:00pm, Ealing Pool, Ian, 90mins.

Thursday 28th February 2008 @ 21:00pm, Ealing Pool, 90mins, Ian, Eoin, James and a new guy called Gareth who followed me in from Gillettes Corner. He lives right by me and does a bit of mountain biking too! Ian got out early as he had a pain that he didn't want to aggravate.
