Swimming and raining

Another rainy but pleasant day of leisure, with some exercise added in. James and I went for a swim in the morning and it was really great. I felt energised afterwards. James is a good swimmer but he finds it to be rather boring. However I enjoy gliding up and down the pool letting my thoughts drift and looking at the other swimmers. Some of them are extremely fit and use the fast swim lanes. Others are clearly not so fit and just go in and out of the sauna and steam room. Then there are families with wee children who remind me of my boys at that age. 

After lunch James and David went off to do some bank business which took them ages and I did some housework and then had a coffee with Jamie. I do enjoy his company; he's nearly twenty-four but he is the same good, kind, brave boy that I have loved for his whole life. Jack cat came in drenched by rain, he must have held on as long as he could but finally he was forced to venture outside. I'm glad that I don't have to go to the toilet in the garden!
