It’s five o’clock in the afternoon and the temperature is 37.9 degrees C. (That’s over a hundred in the old money.) My mobile rings. A friend, P, a fellow teacher I haven’t seen for six months:
P: Hi. What continent are you on?
K: I’m in Oz.
P: Great. City?
K: Yours.
P: Brilliant. Suburb?
K: Round the corner
P: Perfect. At your computer?
K: Yup.
P: Ha! Come for a swim. I’ve got the key to the school swimming pool but the head says I can’t swim without a responsible adult present. So I thought of you?
K: You needed a responsible adult and you thought of me?
P: Yeah.
K: Really?
P: Really. You in?
K: OK.
P: C ya in twenty minutes.
I mention this for two reasons a) I just thought I'd tell the world in some quarters I'm considered a responsible adult and b) to prove that I actually did some exercise this week. So maybe the extra kilo is all muscle, d'ya think? Nah, I didn't think so either.
Current weight: 80 kg
