Hand cream

It might be the result of too much swimming but my hands have pretty dry lately. Therefore, to keep them moist I have started to use my favourite cream once more. I do not want to sound like a walking advertisement when I talk about the products I use but I believe I would not hesitate to criticize loudly all the same if I were to be disappointed with something. That said, I am generally of a positive nature so these occasions might be pretty rare.

Back to the Pool

Back to the Pool after nearly three weeks of laziness. It is true that while travelling it is never a priority to find a lap pool and since I came back here on Tuesday I have been pretty lazy but I decided today was the day. I was hoping it would not be too busy but when I arrived at 1340 I was shocked to see the crowd was consisting of two guys who were actually leaving. I ended up swimming my kilometre alone. A kind of private pool. Weird but it is also true that the summer school holidays are over and that it was raining over lunchtime. Also many people might have been digesting by that time. I personally had my lunch after the pool session...

Swimming Pool

You know that I am not (unfortunately) really a 'sporty' person. I do not especially enjoy exercising just for the sake of it. I prefer visiting galleries, record hunting, theatre going and all the rest. Actually, I prefer just travelling... The only sports I used to play sometimes were tennis and squash. That said, I have always loved swimming. But swimming for pleasure. It is only recently that I took swimming as an exercise. There is a pool not too far from my place of work and residence so I have started the habit to go there on a daily basis to enjoy in the open air and cooling water. I just do laps late morning or during lunchtime. After 20 or 30 laps I really feel the effort but it is an exercise I enjoy doing and on top of that it really empties my head.

Above is the 50-meters lap pool I am going to.
