Polish Walruses

On a totally different tack, I went swimming with the local Walrus club in the Baltic at Stegnie yesterday morning, and still got to Mass. If you really want to know, I'm the crouching character in the left foreground with the black woolly cap.

Air temperature 4 c., sea temperature 3 c., so only 15 minutes in the water.

Here they are called polar bear clubs, and they go into the water on January 1.

I hear it cures a hangover by giving you pneumonia

Here it's once a month, on Sunday, in the winter.

Doesn't really feel cold.

Shrinkage? (Don't ask - it's a 'Seinfeld' joke.)

I could never do that.
