Swimming is a lonely and boring sport, I can't deny. But I realised the other day that in fact I am not alone. My head is full of my friends' voices raised in song. I hear Mookie singing "Landslide," Rachel singing "Lonely Girl," Jerome singing "Trouble," Greg singing "Vagbond," Niall singing "70000 Words," The Random Chocolates playing "Pure," Marco & Kati doing "Ruby's Shoes," The Last Drops singing "Wagon Wheel"... I find myself singing along in my head, swimming to the rhythm.  And I am not alone at all, because my friends are with me - and hopefully across Balaton on the 28th.
