The Commonwealth Games have been on all weekend and it’s another opportunity to watch sports I’d never normally take any interest in. Today they had Synchronized Swimming. Understandably they get made fun of enough, with their nose pegs and waterproof makeup. I hadn’t realised that the performance starts out of the water. They seem to have to walk in the most unnatural way possible with their backs arched for extra effect, but then they do some fancy jump into the water. Now that’s more like it. That’s exactly how my younger brother and me used to compete on Holiday in Majorca when we were about 8. I’m thinking they could introduce other Shaw family holiday events into the next tournament. They could have lilo surfing, aqua head tennis, crazy golf and pool tennis ball skimming.
