About to head off for the first winter swim.

Whole bunch of hawt thai chillies are going to be consumed just before jumping in.

As an experiment I want to see if it takes the mind off the cold or is it just going to make things worse.

Which bring us to a rave choon:

Bad to me

It worked!

Mouth was on fire, body was freezing and the mind completely gave up wasn't sure which was worse (which is what we were hoping for).

Lovely swim :)

I doubt Iโ€™d enjoy that, but certainly sounds like youโ€™d feel alive!
