DeleteDo not fret, Mrs T. The joke is really on anyone who notices - curious kids swimming underwater with their eyes wide open or perverts, maybe? Having said that, I like to get to the edge of the pool enveloped in my towelling dressing-gown - the modern equivalent of the bathing machine - and my revealing swimsuit will only be revealed for the time it takes to ease into the water. We oldies, eh? So smug, so know-it-all ...
ReplyDeleteI suppose I can count myself lucky, Mrs B, that I wasn't mistaken for a cat fish and speared by a passing fisherman.
