So it's been a while, and I have occasionally been gently nudged about my inaction on here, so here's a few that I took earlier on this summer. I might even update the temperature pic tomorrow (love that terrapin though).</div>

A nice bit of gentle backstroke, oblivious to the cold, or so it seems from the safety of the jetty! Knowing what it feels like in there at the moment, I always find it interesting how calm some of us appear from the outside.<br />

This was the scene yesterday. It's still icey today, but bizarrely it's gone from the swimming area, despite the water feeling colder than ever!<br />

One from yesterday when there was the odd bit of blue sky amongst the clouds. The weather forecast says it's going to be - 4c on Thursday morning! Thinking about a swim is making me anxious and excited in equal measures. Even if my toes don't survive, hopefully it should make for some nice icey pics.<br />

I've mentioned a few times that I'm going to post more regularly, and not kept to it, so now two weeks into the new year I'm going to make it a resolution to put at least one picture up every time I visit the pond. Let's see how long I can keep it up! Here's one from Monday. There was a bit of snow on the ground which was lovely, but I was a bit disappointed not to see more, I think I was getting nostalgic about <a href="http://cold-pond-water.blogspot.co.uk/2012/02/icey-pics-from-last-week.html" target="_blank">last winter</a>.<br />

The cold and bright days bought the best of out of the pond for my camera. Pics below featuring the legend that is Jean: artist, multi linguist, and tango dancer! The always dapper Oliver, whose only concession to subzero motorcycling is....a scarf. And our resident playwright Ben, using my preferred (and surely the most painless) method of entering the water.<br />

The board in the changing room has 4c up on it, which is it? We have to know! Or maybe we don't, it's definitely got to the point where it's bloody cold, and only a madman would go all the way round (you know who you are).</div>

There was a lot of talk about the signets at the pond yesterday, I took the top picture just before I arrived for my swim, and by the time I'd got changed they were putting on a bit of a show, flying round the pond and practicing their landing skills. It was all great to watch, so I chose to enjoy the moment rather than try and get the perfect shot! Maybe next time.<br />

We've been having a few gorgeous mornings this week, the air temperature is going down, and the water has a nice freshness to it, it's been pretty much perfect really. Another degree or two drop in the pond with some more sunny mornings please.<br />

I realised I've been letting you down by not posting much over the last few weeks. I've had the odd complaint, so I'm going to try and post a pic a day, or at least a pic per visit to the pond, so hopefully at least four a week. Here's Dan diving in a couple of days ago.</div>

So it's been a while since I posted any pics, apologies for the slackness pond fans, I'm sure you've all been desperate! My summer holiday slowed my momentum somewhat, and I've only really been taking new pictures for the blog over the last week or so.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Beautiful weather last week which inspired me to find a new angle or two. If I'm going to keep this interesting for as long as I swim in the ponds (until my dying day since you ask), I'll need to keep trying something different. Hope you're all still enjoying them.<br />

Hot stuff at the pond now, even at 8:00 in the morning. The sun this week is going to send the water temp rocketing. As lovely as it is to have some sun, I'm sure there's a few winter swimmers who wouldn't say no to a cold snap!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Thanks to Gavin for help with the pics today (that's him waving hello in the second one down).</div>

Open Country on Radio 4 had a program about the ponds on yesterday. You can listen to it <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b01kt43v/Open_Country_Hampstead_Heath_Ponds/" target="_blank">here</a> and download it <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/coast-and-country/id323987710?mt=2" target="_blank">here</a> if you want to listen on the move. Morning swimmers at the Men's Pond will recognise a familar voice straight away. The program starts at the Mixed Pond and then takes a tour round the Ladies (outside the gate obviously, since we have a male presenter), and then finishes up at the Men's Pond. Being a dedicated swimmer at the Men's I could have done with a bit more there, but it's still a very enjoyable listen.<br />

On a completely unrelated subject, did anyone actually see any ladies at the pond today? I think the winter swimming ladies must be more committed.</div>
