Way to go, Lizzie. I see the falling is working. :) How is the climbing going? 

Thanks! :) Well, my climbing buddy had flu, I have 3 (new) deadlines next week...so, didn't hit the climbing gym since a few weeks :( (shame on me) hope to go there either tomorrow since it's holiday in Germany...but I think I will spend my day at work and will go there on the afternoon. Anyway, I have been swimming yesterday evening and I am glad I can swim again for 1km! :) 

Ah swimming. I love it. That reminds me. Time to shop for a wetsuit. Even in summer here the water is usually so cold you can't tolerate it for long. Someone drowns every year here because their boat tips and hypothermia sets in in about two minutes. Life jackets don't help much if you are freezing to death. Deadly. 

Oh... Sounds like purchasing a wetsuit might save your life. Here we have only a small articial lake and the nearby river. Water temperature is cold but that's not the main point. Water is full of weird bacteria that can cause skin or other infections, so it's not recommended to swim there. That's why I usually go to indoor swimming pool, and when it's good weather to an outdoor one. I love swimming, it's so relaxing! :)
