Thursday in the Pool

With my fellow traveller, Jasonovich the Ukranian, we speared down Macquarie Street, past the lone or loan protester outside the Law Society, and hit the waves in the Tattersalls Hobart City Olympic Pool at 1335hrs almost precisely.

Plan: work to 1355hrs and see how it goes. My personal approach: get as many laps in a straight line without stopping.

After pleasantries exchanged with officers of the Public Trustee legal branch (is my paranoia out of control? Was he there to section me?), goggles fitted, and "BANG" into the water:
Roy Lichtenstein has nothing on me!

I got the first 10 laps out of the way in 10 minutes, without stop, and the second 10 in the same time, so hauled myself out at 1355 with 20 done, and roughly 15 minutes better time than before (mainly because of not stopping - rhythm baby!).

So, whilst current events are the Adam Goodes 'you dirty white bastard' racial slur or disliked footballer' incident, the 'Speaker must go and fly her helicopter to Greece' campaign, dinner next week in Melbourne with the legendary Greek former footballer and fish shop retiree Jim Paltaglou, and negotiations continuing for the yacht syndicate to expand to 'a fleet' - also weather predicting snow down to the water line.

Finally, assertions that the Malaysian airlines plane MH150 has been found on a beach at Reunion in the Indian Ocean have been refuted by the Sultan of Brunei. "It is the back door flap of the Timmerphil Syndicate Ute, which I bought from Merv, Tim and Phil back in 2009 for $950".  Stranger things have happened!
