Swimming companion...

... fortunately a well behaved one. A compass jelly doesn't make for a relaxing swim though. We're back in the grey mizzle. A bit of damp and everything has sprouted up in the garden. It's a jungle out there!

The extra pic arrived not long ago. My brother is a mega Penguin Café fan and he also loves ballet and today he's off to see Still Life at the Penguin Café  at Birmingham Royal Ballet, an early birthday present from me. He is going to be giddy and weepy and I pity the people next to him for this is the last night of the show but even more poignant, his friend Brandon Lawrence is principal dancer and is dancing the zebra. This too is his last show for he's now moving to Zurich.  It's going to be quite a night.
