Free & more or less dry

Towards the evening it stopped raining. Fed up with sitting down in my room and the library all the time, I decided to go swimming. Proof of the weirdness of human nature: to wait until it is dry to go get wet voluntarily.

After sitting down 14-15 hours per day (and laying down the rest of the hours), it feels really good to get that lazy butt of mine moving. Amazing how free one can feel gliding through the water, and how contradictory that is to the fact that you're actually moving in a human-size aquarium not more than a few cubic meters big. Yet again proof of the weirdness of human nature.

I had more or less expected to find Cécile there in the pool, because she swims every day. And indeed, there she was, so between laps we chattered away about nothing and everything. Nice to have a friend around... and to feel free in that little human aquarium.
