Bolero & Victoria

[dotinthesky]

After months away from the swimming pool, I decided to brave the shallows again with my brand new ear plugs. It was somewhat hard to get through my usual 1.500 metres, but I'm sure with time and practice I'll be back in form. I love that breathless feeling when coming out of the pool and walking to the shower room, the hot water washing my body and dissolving my muscles. Also, nothing strips faster a winter beer gut than solid swimming sessions - I speak from experience.

Kevin prepared tuna sandwiches with a pinch of curry powder (highly recommended) while I dropped by Canary Wharf's Tesco for some crisps, juice and pizza. We then headed for the park with a copy of today's Guardian, his iPod, books, journals, food, bottled tap water and a whole bunch of other stuff that was probably unnecessary. I lay in the sun after eating and dozed off to Agustin Lara in my ears. Bolero, sunny parks, wine and topless boys kicking a ball are a divine combination. Too bad we forgot to bring wine.

Curry powder can really improve a lot of dishes. I've been using it to make my tuna salads a bit more interesting and it really works.
