Sink and swim

As is the case in most of the country, it’s school holidays here in the nash cap.

This means a proliferation of children in public spaces at all hours of day.

And these aren’t the cute, adorable, dribbling type of children (otherwise known as ‘babies’). These are school-age children, all elbows and shouting. And getting in my way...

Hence, when I went for my normal lunch-time lap swimming yesterday (part of my ongoing delusion about maintaining some kind of healthy disposition) the pool was full of these jumping, splashing, whooping annoyances.

I mean, how dare they!

Followed by long periods of the child not getting out of the pool...
