Going swimming

For the last few years, I have worn a swim hat when going swimming. It's kind of an old fashioned looking one with flowers on. I think its rather sweet, if not a little retro.

It looks a little like this (and no this is not me!)

However today I forget to pack it.

I was out for a family outing at a swimming complex, where we were spending the whole day. It's a place with many slides and pools and hours of splashing fun.

Luckily I was weraring a head scarf when we arrived, so it was kind of easy for this to double up as a swim cap, but getting it too wet would be upleasant, as then I would have to suffer a damp and cold head for the remains of the day.

So I made no fuss, and just wore my head scarf, but it did mean I had to avoid the big splash fun stuff.

That was not fun.

I like being the fun mum, who goes on all the slides and rides, but today, my conditon got in the way.

I suppose I could have not let it, and opted for the bald approach. But alas, no. I went for the boring mum approach of " Don't worry, I will just watch".
So today was an avoidance day. It was unfortuntate.

Next time I will just have to pack better.

Sigh.
