Dead rat
This post is not for the squeamish. On Sunday we had a lovely swim at the lido, Brockwell waters blue and glittering in the autumn sun. All well and good. But while gathering for our usual post-swim cake and coffee by the pool, Miranda (who was swimming at this point) exited the waters and asked in a low husky voice "Does anyone have a plastic bag?" For - oh no shudder shudder shudder - there was a dead rat at the bottom of the lido!! Miranda, star of the show and general saviour, was keen to avoid mass panic and potential evacuation of swimmers, and so proposed to dive down herself and remove the offending cadaver.
