Underwater Calm

Forget me, Basel is baking!  It was 35 °C this afternoon and I thought I was going to melt into mulch like all the chocolate bars at the kiosks. This kind of heat made riding my bike to the tram stop (3 minutes away) a marathon. There is only one way to make this humidity bearable for my pasty British self:  a trip to the pool !

 Me and the wonderful Arizona Ice Tea-loving Louise who is back for the summer from Manchester !

Luckily Coop and some eateries now sell this stuff

 We took my shock&waterproof camera (best gift from ♥) out for a spin

 Looking like I'm ready to lift some weights

 Louise was trying to smile

 Which I blatantly was not able to do: too much

 concentration trying not to breathe in water

Two in one Frame with wispy hair

Loving the crazy hair in this shot ! 

We ended up staying until 7:30, and when I got back, poor overheated ♥ was lying with the windows and doors of our room wide open watching Spanglish. He said he had a surprise waiting for me in the fridge and it was a yummy cake glazed with colourful fruit.

I also had one of his favourite meals ready too, which I made earlier, red beans and rice (*recipe to follow next time I make it). He is a true Louisiana boy at heart !
