Keeping cool.

Wendi came today about 11.30 and said she would stay until Blue Care respite began at 2.00 which meant we could stay out until 4.00 pm.We had originally thought we would drive up to Bribie Island and go for a swim in the sea but realised that most  of our four hours would have been taken up by driving so we went to the pool at Southbank instead.The World and his wife were there too. It was packed!As I stood up to my neck in the warm water the optimist in me surmised that probably 50% of the liquid was urine. I never once put my head under!It could have done with being a bit cooler......Heck, I walked straight in up to my neck without so much as a gasp as the water reached my equator.It did me good though......not only was it helping me to keep cool on a very hot day.....but looking around, I also felt quite slim.We wandered off to find some lunch and enjoyed some battered flat head, calamari and chips at Kapsali, the Mediterranean restaurant with Indonesian owners. I wondered if they had ever been to the Mediterranean, or knew where it was.We wandered back to stand up to our necks in the pool at Streets Beach. I almost stood on some lad lying in the shallows trying to take arty 'selfies' with his new 'Gopro and selfie stick.'.....Damn, I should have stood on him!A very muscular man was standing waist deep throwing a rugby ball to his weedier mate. I couldn't see the point. It was pure posing.He had six chinese symbols tattooed down his back......from where I stood it looked like 'W, A, N, ?, E, R'.....I couldn't make one out......but I made a very good guess.We left and having some time remaining parked at Dutton Park and walked over the Eleanor Schonell Bridge to the University of Queensland. The University grounds are lovely.It was so hot and humid and it was nice to get back to Dulcie and the air conditioning."Wendi came for lunch," she said."We know," said Will, "we were here when she arrived.""Oh, well, I'm old......I forget," she chuckled."It's not that hot is it?" She said from her lounger."That's because you've got the Air -con on!" Said Will."Oh." She laughed again.
