And my gudgeon still hasn't recovered. Now, how do you explain this? It was the same body of water my son has been swimming in since early May. He said Awes great then. The weather has been hot since. But in mid- summer the temperature of the stuff was thirty degeees lower than ie May. Something's wrong. But I must admit, like all the other dopes, that ' It's grand when you get ducked." There's nothing quite like a middle aged swim, with the old bursitis in the shoulder crunching at every stroke, the heart p ou nd in g alarmingly, the chest heaving wildly for air. It does have its compensa- tions, though, this swimming without kids. No one expects you to act as a human diving- tower. You don't have to engage in duck-diving competitions.

The water in the lakes is ten degrees colder than it was last year. I noticed this when I went swimming this week with the Old Lady, It was rather a his- toric occasion. With both our kids otherwise occupied, it was the first time we'd been swimm- ing alone, together, without kids, since our honeymoon. You should have seen the per- formance. We sweltered in the sun until there was no alterna- tive to a dip. We advanced with the utmost reluctance to the water's edge. We stood there for ten minutes, peering gin- gerly at it and each other.
