After several hours during the week clearing and cleaning up a messy garden my day started like this

Bluecat, I was terrified of water and just now am I getting used to it. If I can do it, it might be possible for you. If there is someone you trust to carefully ease you into it. I had several attempts before, too. Almost drowned a couple of times, when very small, that was the problem. I was as a littlie perfectly happy in the water. Until I was thrown into the deep end of a pool at school swimming lessons. That did it really. About 4. I could swim but refused to get into the pool as it was enormous. So I was thrown in. By a teacher.

That was supposed to get me "over my fear". It created it. But now I love it and am learning to swim bit by bit.

That's bad amber, being thrown in the pool. Good you have gained confidence and enjoying swimming now.

I had a kid at high school  'duck' me in the school pool, holding my head down a bit too long for my liking, I thought I was going to drown. 

I did learn to swim at primary school and probably could still swim to save myself if I feel out of a boat, close to shore, but I don't like being in a depth where I can't stand up.

I need to wear contact lens to see, so not confident without them in water.

There was another teacher in the water but it felt like being under for ages. it was outrageous. Wouldn't get away with that now. Kids will do that too, chuck each other in but normally they know who can swim. What happened to you wasn't nice either.

Morning all.

A funny for you, which seems to be spot on when it comes to my dog as she has read them all.

I would change the "Joys of Nocturnal Barking" to "How to sit next to owner, rest head on leg and look at owner with big brown eyes"

Have a good day !

Well Vic, that's one way to start the day.

I had been sitting here behind closed windows from the noise of the traffic.  Admiring how the sun was shining strongly behind the neighbours' banana leaves;  the veins were highlighted against the lime-green colour of the new leaf.  New growth on the shrubs bordering the newly mown lawn.  A beautiful fresh morning.  

Then with the sun still shining, it rained.  Not slanting, not blown around with the wind.  Just straight down like thousands of stainless steel needles.  The sun, the rain.  Another magical Mother Nature Moment.

With head on leg etc - I think the substitution should have been :

'How to Give Humans the Illusion of Being in Charge.
