Barbie on the beach (addendum)

I forgot to mention ‘the skinny bint from the city’ that we saw on the beach. Now I know it’s been unseasonably warm, and it’s hard to believe it’s mid-April, but the fact is IT IS MID-APRIL, and it’s far too soon to be swimming in the sea. Well, that’s what us sensible local folk who know about these things realise. Yesterday, a group of day-trippers arrived on the sand, over-heated and drunk from the journey, and a little bit confused about the time of year. One of them - I would say a 21-year-old blonde Scorpio, but I may be wrong - stripped straight down to her underwear and sprinted into the sea like it was summer on Bondi beach, getting as far as her ankles before diving headlong into the water.
And she didn’t come back up again….
When they dragged her out, coughing and spluttering and crying, she said both her calf muscles had cramped up instantly and she didn’t have the strength to stand up.
Silly cow.
Someone wrapped her in a blanket and got her a hot drink from the café and she sat there embarrassed and said ‘I want to go home.’ To which her caring, understanding boyfriend replied ‘it took us three hours to drive here you stupid bitch, we’re not going home til it’s ****ing dark.’ I have a feeling their relationship won’t be a long one.
