Adi could see some changes round the Lake. Boats! Though those were not really new. There had been a few of those a year or two before. And was that a swimming dock? Hmmm. Adi could see himself spending a whole lot more time here this term.

But right now he was standing there, hands in his pockets as he gazed out at the water. He wondered how the Giant Squid Batholomew was doing. Here's to hoping he could meet the fascinating creature again and sometime soon.

"Going for a swim, Guster?'' Adi asked his toad. The toad was close to the water's edge so he figured the toady was going under.
