23. Another day another swim pool

It's far too cold for swimming. Especially at the smelly, cold Kings Hall. But I had brokered a deal with the youngest gaining agreement from him to attend his swimming lesson as long as The Lovely Suki was going too. Aha! A rival for Ashleigh's place in his heart??! Anyway despite it being at least 6 below zero and a wind chill factor of minus 24C I bundled both the boys off for a swim with the edge taken off only very slightly by the administering of hot chocolate and brioche. Thought that allowing the Biggest Best Boy to place the sticker only fair! The Smallest Best Boy came out shivering and saying "I forgot last time I went swimming that I don't like this bit. I am all shivery and wrinkly". Quite.
