Tuesday
and my mum invites us
for sushi by the beach.
It's a place we go
occasionally
for some sushi and some sunshine.
We get there
and it feels like summer.
It's hard to believe it's
mid April.
We sit
at the all white
sushi restaurant
and the beach is a few metres
away from us.
The sushi is great
and none of us can wait to move on
to the water.
The girls pick sunbeds
right on the shore
and I join them
reluctantly taking off
the layers of clothes
I'm wearing.
I've been ill
and it's April.
The girls are from Sweden
and I'm from Cyprus.
Hanna
walks to the water and puts her feet in.
'AAA!!!'
'Whaaaat!'
'It's so warm Eleeena!!'
'Noo, you're kidding. I'll tell you
if it's warm.'
I walk to the water.
My skin sensors are
scared
of a frozen water
and I know I'm not Elsa.
I touch the water with my toes.
It's
warm.
I can't believe it myself.
Alex has gone for an infamous pee
and she returns right on time
for the warm water hype.
She comes to the water
and
realising how warm it is
runs and jumps and splashes
water on us
like a Kellogg's K
advert
in the more authentic
version.
I'm loving it
but I start making my way back
to the sunbed.
I watch team Finland
enjoying their swim
and consider
the crazies of life.
I would freeze in Finland.
Anyhow,
coats off;
first swim of the year
done!
