FRESH WATER SWIMMING…. not sure where to start with this one….. sat quietly in the corner of workshop.. the door is kicked open a rather manic gallerist …bursting into the room rupturing the late afternoon tranquilty …. with arms failing , leggings and hat merges two conversations into one ..”I must have this! I must have this! …when can I have this ? …. with… “you must understand how awful it is to have a swimming pool that no one uses “…..in mid sentence she sees my legs and then me “ooh ” after very excited introductions I return to my quiet corner … I profer how much I enjoy fresh water swimming ….. oohhh the gallerist replies …. What is not apparent in my statement is the recent discovery that pleasure and fear are processed in similar ways (or so I was recently persuaded to understand ) ..I am sure what I didnt convey this enjoyment with this “pleasure ” in mind ….. So here goes I do enjoy swimming alot in the sea and rivers lakes and pools …however I have see the things that also swim in the sea ..so often my pleasure is coloured by the knowledge that there is big things with teeth that also enjoy swimming ….. Anyone in cornwall near Mousehole.. there are others swimming in the water besides yourselves as recently as yesterday …I have seen them all 16ft of them ….. I suggest a very thick wet suit, goggles and a big stick ….
