The tide is high and I’m going in…

There may have been a weak glimmer of sun around this evening, but I really, really didn’t want to go swimming in the icy Irish Sea…but after I finally did it, I was really, really glad that I had. Today I swam from Low rock to Middle Rock and back again, avoided a jellyfish, and felt really happy to be back on dry land. :)I was really trying to persuade myself that swimming in the sea this evening would be pleasurable/warm/fun/anything less than awful…  It took everything I had to make me drive to Malahide and a good bit more to jump in.  But afterwards I was glad.
