boring!

I don't want to be boring. Which is why, when challenged to leap into Dalebrook Pool last month on Spring Day - Friday, 1 September, 8.30am, no wetsuit - I said yes.

For once in Cape Town it was not raining on Spring Day. Because it HAS rained on every Spring Day for the last 7 years, to my recall. I don't recall before that. Probably because I was dealing with 1-3 year olds (hee hee).

It was darn cold. Very cold. Exceptionally cold. I froze. It was worth it. Fully alive and shivering. And so not a boring thing to do at 44!  Especially the bit where I stood on a sea urchin and had to wait 2 weeks for the spine to come out on it's own.

Do it again? Yes. With wet shoes? Definitely. Oi vey! Here's to the not-boring me!
