Photo meme

Only one suggestion for the photo meme, from the ever reliable Creepy but it was a challenge. The nearest thing I could find was a puddle that appears in the middle of the field at the back of our house whenever it rains. Alicia went on a geography field trip up the Don Valley today and took a pretty good picture of an old warehouse by the river, so I've pinched that as well.

The best expanse of water today, though, was in the Chapeltown swimming baths at lunchtime. There were only four people in the pool today so I had a lane to myself and the water was as still as it ever gets. I wasn't timing myself precisely but I think I managed twenty smooth lengths in under twenty minutes again which is not bad going. The best pool for lane swimming in Sheffield has to be Ponds Forge in the center of town. It's a constant three meters deep over the whole pool, and some clever design trickery means that the surface is as flat as a millpond even when all the lanes are in use.
