Sponsored Swimming

Quote of the moment:
Vicky: "I want to suggest to Floppy that we do something to raise money for the Tsunami relief stuff."
My mum: "How about a sponsored swim?!"

Due to an exceedingly helpful lorry-driver rolling his vehicle on the A120 near the M11 junction, I detoured through the countryside on my way home from college and rejoined the dual-carriageway at Dunmow. Just after I got on a trio of cars came speeding up in the outside lane. I was accelerating up to a decent speed, but they were still catching up fast. It was only when the first one got alongside me and I was going nearly 90mph that I realised all three Ford Escort estates were police cars! D'oh!
Fortunately they didn't seem bothered, perhaps because they were just leaving the crash scene and had had enough!
