11.45pm..

Six years ago if you’d told me I’d be swimming after work so late at night, I wouldn’t have believed you. But when you finish at 1030om, and had a coffee at 7pm... well, why not! Still very warm at 32 degrees and just me in the pool. It’s open until 1am.

The day went well, just long. My colleague and I go for a snack run to the local supermarket every afternoon, solve the problems of the world and go back to work. His wife is Iranian and they’re now not able to visit with their new baby, sadly. Lots of stuff in the local press about escalating tensions in the Gulf.. keeping my eyes peeled for war ships on the horizon..
