I came back from lectures today to find a 15 foot paddling pool outside my window!
Apparently there was a lot of money left in our university hall’s budget so they decided to buy a pool and stick it in the grassy area in the courtyard. The site managers aren’t exactly extatic about it but it’s there until the end of term, at which point there are plans to buy a small shark from the pet shop and give it a nice home as a leaving present 😀 It’s fascinating how many people congregate around a pool of water, really it is.
I’ve just been for a paddle for an hour or two, I think I may die of hypothermia.
