Displaying a nipple and swimming with baby dolphins in lockdown (Rousse)
Campus was open again. I was there once more attending lectures, and they were even measuring the water levels in the swimming pool. On most days I sat next to my primary school ‘friend’ ST, delighted that I was admitted … Continue reading
Lewis ladies lose pool position (Rousse)
TPR took charge of the ladies’ swimming club at the Isle of Lewis guest house. The moment that the families arrived, however, we were all ordered out of the pool. This was the disadvantage of taking annual leave during the … Continue reading
A dip in the cold (Rousse)
I was telling my sister an elaborate tale of undergraduate risk (how could I ever have been so stupid?) as we approached the beautiful Italian swimming pool. I was not tempted to take a dip – it was far too … Continue reading

Richard Wilson, a Pharaoh, and the representation of women at the Royal Society of Edinburgh (Rousse)
Richard Wilson remembered me from the days that we shared a lane in the Glenogle swimming pool. He therefore greeted me as a friend in the members’ room of the Royal Society of Edinburgh. The actor and I were both … Continue reading

Canal dipping off the cycle path (Rousse)
TPR and I were enjoying ourselves on the cycle path when my little sister interrupted our fun – again. She did not understand that her behaviour was inappropriate. TPR suggested that I should make it clear to her that I … Continue reading
Head seeks full-bodied boyfriend (Rousse)
The head that bobbed in the corner of the gym swimming pool moaned at me (again) that she still hadn’t found a boyfriend.

Swimwear and disgraceful tattoos (Rousse)
I chose a new swimming costume. It was navy blue with white side panels, and leg pieces. It would be perfect for British waters, and could easily be worn under a wetsuit. While I was trying it on for the … Continue reading
A disgraceful dip in the pool (Rousse)
It was a full hour before I was due to chair the presentation at Edinburgh University. I persuaded a couple of others that we had time to call in at the dancing conference on the way. We entered a long … Continue reading

Sauna strip-off rip-off (Rousse)
BV paid £7 so that he and I could sit naked together in a Turkish sauna. This was a complete waste of money. You didn’t have to pay at all if you agreed to keep your swimming costume on.

Jack Charlton fisherman (Rousse)
I spotted Jack Charlton from the back seat of a car as we drove through the outskirts of Newcastle. He pointed out where he lived: a small ex-council house on a very busy road. He said that he would rather … Continue reading
