So it’s getting colder just 19.5 degrees today…and darker….
We just soldier on…some with more rubber…some with more clothes…we just adapt like good Darwinian specimens…
As those famous positive psychologists Chumbawamba sang…
I get knocked down
But I get up again
You are never gonna keep me down…
Of course they were singing about resilience …the quality of getting knocked almost down but coming back stronger than ever. Positive psychologists find resilience comes from positive attitude, optimism, the ability to regulate how you feel, and the ability to see failure as a form of helpful feedback. Even after misfortune, resilient people are blessed with such an outlook that they are able to change course and soldier on. Or in our case swim on.
Some of the A team don the rubber while the rest tough it out…
Even Newbies like Isabella here with her dad Thomas show the resilient B&B spirit…
Thank you to all the B&B community who make it so much easier no matter how dark or cold it gets.
Cheers,
Pete
B&B Trivia Night with ‘Naughty-cal’ fancy dress.
Put the date in your diaries folks for the annual Trivia Night at The Steyne Hotel, Tuesday 18th June! Get your friends together for a table or we can put you on one. If anyone has any businesses they can promote and maybe give a free voucher for the raffle or auction would be appreciated, unwanted Xmas presents etc all welcome. We’d love some help too if you can, collecting prizes etc. This year funds raised go to Dr Ray’s hospital for women and children in Nepal. This is always a great, sell-out night so get in quick. See Lainey, Roz Beaver or Janet Franks re tickets but we’ll soon get a link going to buy!

Great blog Pete. Inspiring message.
JK always used to quote Chumbawamba.. He drinks a Whiskey drink, he drinks a Vodka drink, he drinks a Lager drink, he drinks a Cider drink..
