Failed swims
While the rest of the world watched England struggle against Paraguay, Jocelin and I found ourselves a heated pool. On Friday I jumped in to the pool at our camp. I won’t be doing that again. It was so cold I couldn’t breathe! I managed to warm up enough to get a 300metre swim out until I lost all feeling in my limbs and had to get out.
Yesterday was much more promising. A large pool and not many Germans (They were watching the football). I opted to swim at the deep end, at the last minute however I lost my bottle and thought I’d walk around to get my bearings. This was very lucky as a few minutes later a wave machine kicked in! I dread to think what would have happened if I was on my back in the deep end facing giant waves!
I gave up and went for a wonder only to walk in on a fat German woman showering naked! Oblivious to the fact that the incident probably harmed me more than it did her mentally, she got all funny. I think she was shouting rude stuff at me but I haven’t yet read the insults section of the german phrasebook so I can’t be sure. The other passtime hobby that’s been seeing me through the sea of football is Civilization. I won’t bore those of you who don’t know of the computer game but for those that do, I won a Dominance victory before we even got to the 20th Century. I’m pretty proud.
I’m currently tidying up some of the audio we used on the show that I wasn’t happy with on Friday then, it’s more vodka (the stuff out here is pretty strong!).

Hey Aled,
Good effort today in the bakers,good to see you got back without getting arrested!I see Louise the german geodie's on here abit!!!Think she likes you!Keep up the good shows Cheers pal chow!!!
Complain about this post
Pnawn da Aled. I wanted to tell you that I loved your trip to the bakery this morning, Da iawn! I thought I should warn you though, when I was visiting friends in Huchenfeld (near Pforzheim) in March, they told me that when a man goes out on 'the pull', he's said to be going to 'the bakery', so you're very lucky (or unlucky - whichever way you want to look at it) that all you came back with this morning was a few cakes and some french sticks! You could have had a nice feel of somebody's buns!
I love the show, like you and Chris but feel that I should be supporting you in your quest to get the most comments as I live in Llanbedr (near Barmouth, Snowdonia) and Chris can be pretty rude about the Welsh at times. Cariad mawr, Jo xxx
