Outside of work
Swimming
Learned to swim in May 2026. Dream of crossing the English Channel one day.
I learned to swim in May 2026, which makes this the newest thing on the page.
The dream is the English Channel: 33 kilometres of cold, tidal water from Dover to France, no wetsuit, the way it has been done since 1875. It is years and a great many early mornings away. I have no good reason for wanting it. I just do.
