Decided to go swimming in the end. And it was good, ended up doing 40 lengths, which is the most I've done in a long time. I went in planning to do min 24, but was 'in the zone' so decided to go for the 1km. I must start going swimming regularly again, cos usually I enjoy it. One thing that is not good about swimming is swimming hats. I know I look feckin ridiculous, fat girl in cossie with purple condom on head. But it's that or have me hair cut short. Ho hum. I bet Alex Popov doesn't worry about this stuff.

In other news: I give up reading the Iliad. I'm not in the mood for Great Classics of World Literature (tm). Re-reading John LeCarre suits me much better right now.
