Swimming Shenanigans

I met Jackie and Cath this morning at Cowbury Dale and we walked up to the dam. The water was 7° and exhilarating. Jackie fractured her wrist a couple of weeks ago, but nothing comes between a girl and her cold water fix. Cath put her hair in a bobble, I pulled up the straps of her costume, she wore a plastic bag over her cast and rested it on her tow float…we pootled about in the chilly water.

My toes went numb, my fingers froze, I laughed with friends, my joints eased, I was at one with the world….it was bloomin’ marvellous.

We went for a bacon and mushroom barm afterwards…a perfect start to the day.
