I'm dead tired today, but I'm happy.
I go swimming everyday since last week (I don't own a pool

).
I still cannot swim a whole hour straight, just 40-45mins (with breaks for panting

) but it started being 30 mins so I'm happy because I'm improving.

I love swimming, but I used to swim in the sea, not in pool, so I'm still amazed at how cramped the lanes can become! And the taste of the water is awful blah!

Everyday, before going I get dangerously lazy, and I'd give anything to have an excuse not to go!
But then, when I'm there, in the warm waters, floating with my eyes at water level I giggle, bubbling air, because it's really relaxing, both mentally and emotionally (definitely not physically

).
The pool is open on the sides so the cool winter air lowers the temperature and a gentle vapoury mist lifts from the waters.
It's a magical, private, experience, at least it would be private if there weren't other 30 people swimming there, with kids taking swimming lessons and the instructors shouting and wistling loudly!

I'm always in very good mood afterwards, singing loudly in my car and full of the desire of missing the exit from the ring road to my home and speed up somewhere else. I called my two friends from the car once, to tell them to get ready and come with me somewhere... but one had to work, and the other wasn't even home.
Aaaah reality crushes my spirit.

So in the end I never miss the exit, go home, get really sleepy and/or hungry and end up here on my laptop.

Anyway, some pool photos for you, hope you'll enjoy them!
