Love it

i go past our local pool on the way to school. one day i noticed a lady stood in her dressing gown (white towelling) at the end of her driveway. as i loked in my rear view mirror i noticed her crossing the road & going off to the swimming pool. i see her 3x a week & it makes me giggle every time
