After about two years, blaming the Supply Chain all the way, “they” finished building a new indoor pool in the apartment building that i live in. I had some problems of my own that kept me out of the outdoor pool most of the summer. So I was very eager to start swimming again when”they” announced the pool was ready; Three announcements later ( problems and delays (with chemicals, drains, the whirlpool)w, whatever) it finally opened to no fanfare whatsoever. I actually went to a supper party at a neighbour’s celebrating the first (non-)opening.

So Wednesday morning l slipped into the pool.

Joy!

Despair! I’m out of shape, have to build up my strength and lengths.

Thursday I went happily and hopefully.

Despair! The water was hot enough to poach fish—NOT for swimming.

Friday I went down and put my hand in the water. Almost ready.

But today I was too busy. I baked banana bran muffins for my granddaughter who was going to come by for a visit, from Orilliia where she lives now.

So—tomorrow?

I live in hope.
