It is science week this week. A reminder to use scientific method to come to conclusions and make decisions based on evidence. It is also the 35 year anniversary of Red Nose Day where science led to many babies’ lives being saved. Science in action.
It is also the 50th anniversary of Hip Hop music. What I know about Hip Hop is what google can tell me. apparently:
With new clothes on, I’m fly
Cars is whips and sneakers is kicks
Money is chips, movies is flicks
*aks – another word for “ask”; a way of saying hip hop artists don’t give a shit about pronouncing words correctly.
On a cold day like today – 15.7 degrees in the water and a cool breeze – I like to inch in slowly. But not these guys. Straight in.
My approach is more like this – arms up
However you go, get in to swim and you are smiling
A tiny little bit of wave action today
Ian
Ian Jazz Hands
Annie and Roz – their smiles brighten up the day
The whole time i am getting in, I wish I was taller – here are some actual tall swimmers 
I love to see this running group – they brighten up the morning.
New ugg boots. Or to use my newfound Hip Hop language – new ‘kicks’
