Water Darling.... (or, There'll Always Be an England)

Those of you who know me well know that I am an Anglophile -- I lived there for several years and go back whenever I am able, to see my friends.  So I was extremely excited to discover that the Guardian has started a swimming blog.  One of the inaugural posts included a fairly brilliant set of Rules of the Pool, which I loved -- since you know I'm all about the rules.  And -- when in England -- the first rule is correct pronunciation.  I leave you with my friend Tiddles (the Notting Hill adjunct mermaid) and the correct pronunciation of water.

As we all know, water is essential for mermaids...

Working on a couple of new posts, which will appear in the coming weeks.

Note -- the video doesn't seem to work on mobile devices -- will see if I can fix that....
