A swimming christmas

Tuesday early morning, my close buddy Janus and I swim. With a lot of old folks, mainly ladies. I keep forgetting that 53 years might be considered old by others, but I refuse to be called old.
Next two weeks the swimming pool is closed because of christmas holidays. And today the two life guard ladies did put tea lights all around the swimming pool and invited us out of the water for tea or coffee with christmas bread, apple pie or plum pie. Sad and good news at the table.
The lady that was not there today had discoverd a bad case of cancer in her body and the older man in the group became great-grandfather last week. Happy Christmas.
