Highgate Men's Pond |
Late afternoon pond-dip after collecting my Vespa from the garage.
Still entering the water via the steps, I'm not brave enough for the springboard yet. As I swim past the old diving platform I notice Jonathan Livingston Seagull sitting on a concrete post, keeping a beady eye on me. He chuckles: 'Caaaaawwww, you're brave mate'.
I manage a whole lap, the water is much warmer on the southern side. I execute an incredibly rubbish dive, I can hear JLS laughing at me. I'm considering another lap but that may be gilding the lily, or freezing my knackers off.
I scooter off home for Caroline's Pasta.
