Met up with the Dad of my 9 year old god-daughter last night.

Two of her little school friends died in Sri Lanka.

I'm numb.

DEC are now up to Â£100 million. This is great,
but it only works out at about Â£2.50 per adult.

Hopefully it will continue to increase.

Before anyone thinks I'm being a Geizhals: Today I participated in a charity swimming event (yeah. wtf.), "donated" 4000 meters*, and doubled it from my own pocket.

* Commercial sponsors pay X for each meter that's been swum by anyone. Swim a lot, pull more money off the sponsor.

Update: 408 kilometers have been swum by 85 people, which raised about 6000 euros.
