.....and swimming, neither of which I can fit into the "getting from A to B" part of my life. I'd like to know how many people swim to work!  I did some work a little while ago with a company in Basel, where, in high summer, it is quite the thing after work to change into your cozzie, put your clothes in a watertight bag, and swim down the Rhine with the current (assuming that's where you live, of course!) The company didn't specialise in the protection of chunks of magic gold, by any chance?  In Basel it's well and truly on the cards! (Of course if you were swimming in the Limmat it would be a shoo-in.  ) |

Can you imagine putting waterwings on your laptop and pushing it along like a float?! |

Merely corroborative detail, intended to give artistic verisimilitude to an otherwise bald and unconvincing narrative.

That's brilliant! Very "Wallace and Gromit".

I've joined the gym... and had a lovely swim this morning. It's in the City of London so very very quiet at weekends.

The city is a process which always veers away from the form envisaged and desired, ... whose revenge upon its architects and planners undoes every dream of mastery. It is [also] one of the sites where Dasein is assigned the impossible task of putting right what can never be put right. - Rob Lapsley

Damn. It's not, is it! I always confuse Bucks Fizz and the Buzzcocks. But then the joke doesn't work ...  |
