Parliament Hill Lido

Lido Opening Ceremony
What a difference a day makes.

Water temperature: 20 flippin' degrees

Lots of bodies in the water, laughter in the air, big groups of boys and girls, just how it should be. I spot the odd regular looking bemused. Lane rope is out. The odd whiff of skunk wafts over. Summer literally just fell out of the sky.

Stayed for the late shift. Way too many people, why you wearing a wetsuit?

The sun drops behind Parliament hill and I cycle home. Home-made dhal gets 9.5 on the dhalometer.

My Dad is in the photo somewhere with his Mum.
