  1. Am pretty sure perspirate isn’t a word but given Americans can’t say Aluminium correctly, who cares.

    Interesting listen and nice looking sauna.
    My wife is into cold water swimming… me, not so keen. The hot to cold thing, that’s much more interesting and something I’ve done a couple of times
