Sometimes it's better to light a flamethrower than curse the darkness

Edit: Ha, of course I write this and then I get all the way there (an hour on public transport) and the pool is double-booked. Ah well! I'll try again next month.

I am going to go swimming in a swimming pool today, something I a) love doing and b) haven't done since before the pandemic started.

It's been tough to contemplate doing an activity indoors that can't be done masked. But this is for a small handful of people who will have the pool to ourselves so I'm feeling good about the possibility of it being safe.

I am surprisingly emotional at the chance to get to do this again.
