Things You Learn..

I went swimming this morning! Myself and another hardy comrade got our rears out of bed and left home at 7am.. In the pool by 7.15.

Thats the impressive bit. The rest is less impressive, but in a spirit of openness I will share some insight.

1 Swimming may help asthma long term. It doesn't help when you are aready having asthma issues. You may feel like you will die.

2 Caffeine is an aid to co-ordination. Without caffeine it will take three times as long to do anything.

3 When you put your underwear in a hnady side pocket so you will remember where it is.. you won't. You will panic for a few moments until you remember. This may not be the case if you have had caffeine (see point 2)

4 Old people swim fast. You have to make your peace with that.

5 Hair takes longer to dry after swimming than after just washing.

6 The self righteous glow wears off after hacking your way through chapel.

But it was fun. I will go again. No really I will.. Honest.. even if its just to have something to blog about.

Isn't it funny how we will do things whilst being insightfully aware that our sole motivation is to blog about it afterwards? :) I wonder how much would actually get done if no-one had invented blogs.

Remembering What I Enjoy..

Occasionally I forget things. Some stuff like birthdays, names and stuff is a normal human thing, and I don't sweat it so much. But I also forget some other stuff which is not so good. I forget what I enjoy. I don't know how it happens but it does from time to time. And its at these moments that I need a bit of help remembering. So- this is a request for help. What do I enjoy doing? What gives me joy? Leave me a comment.

Who will rid me of this meddlesome...

... piano? It occurred to me yesterday as i nursed ANOTHER bruise on my arm.. that I have had a piano sat in my hallway for 2 months! It seemed like such a good idea at the time but apparently is not... its stuck there and everytime I walk down my hall I have to squeeze past the darn thing- often not successfully! A number of options lie before me: -chop the thing into several hundred pieces -find lots of people who want to move it.. to where I'm not sure -sell it -give it away -pray it away It goes next weekend.. even if it kills me... which it might.. hummm
