Highgate Men's Pond

Springboard

Thursday afternoon run and plunge.


All the talk today is about the air quality or the lack of it. Undeterred, I take a jog around The Heath. On my return I spend a very pleasant time wheezing with Dan The Lifeguard.

Still no springboard. The water feels cool against my arms and soothes my aching legs. Who knows what the temperature is, I'm not that bothered any more, this is just about perfect.

I'm still not sure about this spring business, there's still a nip in the air. The pessimistic side of me is not convinced we've seen the last of winter. There again, I was hoping that summer was gonna make a spectacular comeback at Christmas.
