A tale from the pool

“What’s he doing?” murmured some women in the aqua aerobics class this morning as a fit older man in tight fitting swim trunks began to perform some manoeuvres beside the pool, watched by 20 women.
 
“Yoga”, I said recognizing the moves.
Well it’s a brave man who decides to do his daily yoga practise in such a public spot and before an audience of women.
 
Clearly he was not local. It would be difficult to imagine any Scots man making such a public display of himself.
 
Naturally we inspected his body in search of flaws.  But I have to report there were none: he was toned, tanned and without an inch of spare flesh.
