Have really enjoyed relaxing in the pool and find it incredoubly cathartic. I think my most peaceful experience in life is floating on my back with ears under water so all I can hear is the swooshing of the water. As I look up at the sky I watch 60 foot gum trees sway slowly in the breeze and leaves fall one by one slowly like feathers towards me. I often find myself reaching out to try and catch the leaves as they fall.
Have learnt an interesting fact about myself. I am very buoyant and can float easily, even in a sitting pose with arms and legs crossed. Quite a skill.... perhaps I belong in a freak show? (DONT ANSWER!!) lolAnother thing I constantly find myself doing, is rescuing bugs which are drowning. I think Ive saved two bees, christmas beatles, moths, baby spiders. The strangest thing I saw was one day getting into the pool and noticing several baby spiders the size of small coins drowned. I thought was wierd but what surprised me most was when I was lying on my back and noticed a web spun from a tree on high from one side of the pool down to the edge of the pool where I was swimming and slowly, one by one, these baby spiders were using the web like a flying fox to scale down to me. Unfortunately, for the spider, it underestimated the landing and dipped into the pool and was proceeding to drown like those who preceded it. Fortunately for the spider, I came to the rescue and lifted it safely to the waters edge so it could go on its merry way. IRONICALLY, we are calling the pest exterminator soon to kill all the bastards... so really, I dont know why I bother! lol
