Sunday Mornings at The Triangle

[Dave the OAP]

On Sunday, Mrs DTG and myself normally go to the triangle for a swim and spalsh about ( conning myself I am getting fit)

Anyway, since late May, the outdoor pool has been opened and Sunday it was like being on holiday.

The pool was busy with young kids and parents splashing about, bikini clad ladies sunbathing and fat old bastards like myself leering at them suruptitiosly.

It was lovelly up there in Burgess Hill and I thorouly reccomend the place, and no fat german businessmen putting their towlels on the sun lougers.

Outdoor pools are the best.

We're toying with the idea of building a new one here, we had one at our old house but moved. My sister is just having a lagoon pool, deck and hot tub built and though her garden looks like a bomb site right now in three weeks time it will be awesome.

I think you move in slightly different circles to the rest of us Starry


We had a pool in South Africa which was great but a bugger to clean ( although the gardner used to clean it)

Hardly! I just have a BIL who owns his own pool company and who will do it for cost

The one at our old house was OK. It's my husband domain but it was Oxygen Ionic or something and never needed much cleaning!

I currently spend each morning with a lengthy stroll toward Hampstead Heath. Not purely for the gay bushing that happens, but just to emerge from the safety of newly-washed sheets and hidden eyes from the sun's initial glare. I rest with the rooks and a few lonely gulls who spends their last years far from the endless, screaming echoes of the sea. I wear sunglasses and smirk at each cryptic crossword clue i solve from deep within the shade of an elm. In the afternoon, families rise amidst their routine and veer majestically to the pools. Thousands of children all squeaking and twittering and miaowing in groups, competitive and cut by the sharpened tin slides and merry-go-rounds they grizzle on.
I don't just watch children and water, but for seconds it's alright to spy.

You go to a pool in the summer when the sea is on your door-step ?


We had a bbq with two other families at Widewater Lagoon last night - the tide was perfect, the sea was warm, the sun was out, the food tasted fantastic, and the beer was cold. We cyled down at about five, and back at about half nine. It really does not get any better. You wouldn't dream of going abroad for holidays if you could guarantee it being like that for two months each summer.

It's standard for a grown man to protect his children from crabs and starfish by keeping them in a pool more likely to be filled with eels in the evening in preparation for morning murders and roasts.

I used to go to the open air pool on the Rottingdean undercliff when my Grandparents had an adjacent beach "chalet" there in the dim and distant past.
Been shut for years - what a waste

Have you considered a BLOG ?

I can only yet remember, at my own simple guess, around 80% of what i knew some 8 months ago. But part of me thinks of jotting this level of still teenage, lonely thoughts on a blog once i get online at home rather than down a cafe.
Some of it, though, does make me think of a certainty in oneself in such a project in which i should believe any people would want to read my considerations or imaginary moments. I am unsure of that part of it.

I am sure people would read it and be fascinated by the challenges you face, the humour you face them with, and the progress you make.

Go on, do it !
