Truly terrible

Yeah, I know - and I had LOADS OF (well, some) images from yesterday that had colour, light, interest, etc. but you are stuck with the place where I learned to swim. "!" ,you say - "What, in that monstrosity?" Well, no - it was, in the distant past, painted every year in a Mediterranean blue (which fooled no-one) and was filled with the good old salty North Sea. Cold (enough to give you an ice-cream headache) but very buoyant so quite good for learners - especially those who had a natural layer of insulating blubber. Fond, shivery memories but tinged with sadness at the state it is now in. I make no comment about myself!
