Striving

James and I were crossing the road and when we got to the other side there was a ditch. At first we thought we could jump over but it was so deep we stopped. There were cars passing close by. There was a girl working in the ditch so there were some ladders, but they were pretty rickety. I think we asked if we could use one and she said yes. We had to descend carefully.

There were swimming races going on. The pool wasn't very big so I thought it wouldn't take very long, but the girls race went very slowly. Then it was the boys turn but they wanted to close the door as they got into the pool as they were jewish and shy to take off their shirts. The pool they were planning on using looked only 4m or so like Joanne's lap pool.
