Welcome to 2018

Today I went for a swim. A New Year’s Day swim. In a pool with waters clear and icy, sharp on the skin. Cleansing. The earlier heavy rain had turned into blue skies and a lemon sorbet sun. The first length was bracing, the second refreshing. One after the next – touch the end, turn, push – the lengths added up until my fingers and toes seemed to have reached the same temperature as the water and it was time to get out, shower and head into 2018.
