Blue water, just less than blood heat, and no bloody sharks or jellyfish.<br />My problem with swimming trunks is that the elastic keeps shrinking, and they get too tight!<br />Booze helps immensly, but not while swimming in the deepocean.

In the sea, in France (usually with a litre or two of cider inside me, for acquatic balancing purposes) I love it. You can't keep me out.loobyhttp://loobynet.co.uk/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556021846818907745.post-18986768722537557032012-04-07T20:51:10.953+12:002012-04-07T20:51:10.953+12:00Alistair: I'm glad that my paltry existence ma...Alistair: I'm glad that my paltry existence makes your own life that much more worthwhile.<br />I mean it about the suet.

I'm probably one of the geriatrics in the early morning. <br /><br />But I have to agree, it's my Beloved that makes me go. <br /><br />She's much more frightening than Cryptosporidium, Salmonella and even Cholera.
