Parliament Hill Fields Lido


Water temp: 15 degrees

A drizzly Tuesday morning, a watery sun skulks behind a grey cloud. This summer isn't much fun is it. Anyway, undeterred I went swimming before work. My head felt a liitle out of sorts, like I'd picked up the wrong one as I rushed out the door this morning. I had an hour and 45 minutes to cycle to the Lido, swim, get to work, eat breakfast and arrive at my 10 o'clock meeting looking keen and clean.

I love the anticipation when I'm about to enter the water, the rejuvenating Lido waters. Job done, feel sparkly new again.

The famous actor bloke was in the showers again, I never see him swimming, maybe he just acting, that's what actors do I guess, all the world's a pool I reckon.
