Excellent Indian last night. Have not even bothered to go near scales today.
Did swimming again today. Not so good. 1) Cold! 2) Spider!
Have major problem when swimming in pool in that I can't bear to see things drowning, so end up doing zig-zag lengths collecting assorted flying ants, beetles etc. and swimming one handed to sides to offload soggy cargo.
Spider (massive, nay MASSIVE!) was on wall of pool above water line. Resolved to ignore it. Do not do spiders.
Inevitably spider got washed off wall into water due to waves created by powerful swimmer (ha!)
WHO KNEW SPIDERS COULD WALK ON WATER!!???????
Not happy but no way could 'save' spider and put it out. Decided that if I swooshed it to the far side of the pool, gave it a name and pretended it was my friend, I might be able to tolerate it.
Named it Jesus (obviously) told it to keep to it's half of the pool, and carried on bravely.
Jesus did not keep to the rules, scuttled rapidly towards me. Was glad that no-one was outside listening as I was screaming "Back off Jesus" whilst creating new record for length of pool.
Finally had to get out of water, find net, and hoik his Holiness out of pool. Using a dimly remembered lacrosse throw, propelled Jesus far across lawn.
WHO KNEW JESUS COULD FLY!!??
