The tide is high and I'm movin' on........


This morning I have been rolling beads, I have made a test rack of some new colours and they will take a few days to dry before I can fire them. As you can see I am in a vest which means it must be higher than 20 degrees C! Yes in fact I think it may be pushing 22! So I have decided that the time has come - it must be done -  the tide is high, the sun is shining  and therefore perfect for a dip in the sea. 
I say 'dip', you will note, because technically to say I am going for a swim would be misleading  as the water is still cold and I am not sure when the Gulf stream current is going to kick in - if in fact ever. Therefore the water is about as cold as in Cape Town. When you emerge from the pain of throwing yourself into the water it feels as though a sheet of ice is clinging to your body. Invigorating to say the least but not exactly enjoyable until after the sun has warmed my bones and I feel the salt drying slowly on my skin, then it feels as though I am slowly returning to normal.........

Been living in vests here in London too, at least at home - one of the only advantages of working in a posh office is the aircon!
