Thanks for replying, Chris! Glad to hear all's well in your corner of the world. Brave man to be swimming consistently in the dark and the cold. Cheers to you.

Only hit and miss. I put my BlueSky ID out on FB hoping that people might find me here, but I'm only connected to a very few so far. I search for people, but unless they've already input their actual name my searches come up empty. Hard to get a critical mass. But I'm going to keep trying!

Hi John, thanks for posting some real pics! I'm trying to figure out how to make BlueSky useful to me. I wish there was more news from the people I know and care about and less re-posting of recirculated "stuff". Thanks for contributing; I'm going to try harder. Cheers to you!

Oh, yep. I tried searching for "swimmers" and you don't even want to know the semi-porn that turned up!!
