All alone

I was the only one in the men's changing room at Brockwell Lido this morning. That's not a good sign. I'm not sure if it's a taster of things to come. It was cold this morning - 14.6 degrees - and slipping into the water without a wetsuit felt like a very brave thing to do.

Pouring with rain again, and with no-one in the pool, the life guards were huddled inside by the reception desk. I don't think they were pleased to see me, but they unfolded their umbrellas, clambered onto their high chairs, and watched me swim for 45 minutes in the freezing cold. I wonder what the temperature will be tomorrow ...
