Mrs. Monk's Would-be Diary, should have been written by Mrs. Monk, since she is the "Writer" in the family.
However, since she is a writer only in the conceptual sense, I have undertaken to fill these pages on her behalf.
If not by her, these pages will certainly be about her, and other important matters of the day

The Mermaid and the Halibut

9 Feb 2007 A rare Mrs Monk contribution

Today I swam at my "club".

I like to do my 20 daily laps, kicking and moving as one does in the pool, begoggled, hatless and wet.

But a mermaid at the other end of the slow lane yelled down at me from a distance of one lap. She had some splashing issues

I motioned her to come towards me. We met halfway down the slow lane. She got close to my face. It was a scene from High Lagoon. She told me, that I was kicking too hard, and splashing her and her friend in the pool. She asked me what I was doing there, in the pool, (“her pool”, she seemed to be implying).

I told her I had been a member of David Lloyd, for over two years, and she didn’t own the pool, but I moved over into the other lane anyway, and carried on swimming with renewed vigour.
