What transpired

I’ve been in saunas at 100 degrees, been in the steamiest of steam rooms, been melting in an Indonesian monsoon, but I have never lost so much weight, unintentionally, in such a short time through transpiration. I felt like a leaf - a very wet leaf.

Down below was the pool.... so, so inviting. In a rare opportunity to go to the blessed outside and see Little F practising with her team, I asked her how she coped with the heat and humidity. She told me it was cold, poolside and that the water was ‘fffreezing cold’.

‘Oh pleeeease!’ I thought.
