I'm still smirking over last night's incident. That's not quiet the right word is it - smirking somehow involves a bit of evil and laughing at someone else in a smug way. This is more of an amused squirm.
Anyway, hopefully it will tickle me for some time to come. I'm shortly off to lead a supervision. No youtube clips showing there. Then hopefully over to see someone recently out of hospital, see how he's doing.
I'm pleased that I'm not aching today. Taking down the pool yesterday was physically exerting. Saturday saw me get most of the rest of the water/swamp out. I discovered that less was more. Originally I tried heaving full buckets over the side. I soon learned that if I just scooped a little I could get into more of a smooth swing, a higher arc, and water would go further (also getting me less wet). Then yesterday I had help - which I couldn't have done without, thankyou Ben - and we scraped the last of the muck out and dismantled it all. I definitely spent more time scooping water out of the pool than I spent swimming in it this Summer. But next year I'll try again and it might be a different story. We're all learning, all the time. Did I tell you already about a former boss's wise saying that there's no such thing as a bad decision just outcomes we might not have expected. (Just checked, and yes I did, in April) So I'm not telling myself that buying a pool was a bad decision. It's all been part of my learning. I don't believe we have to see it as "learning the hard way" either. Whatever your lessons today, I hope you find delight in them :) Big love :D
