swing & float

i'm not gonna go into why i was so very pissed off yesterday. i'll tell you about how i calmed down instead.

i was very early for a meet-up with friends, so i walked around and discovered a new park. there wasn't a soul around. there was, however, a swing. i hadn't been on one for years and years, but i thought, why not? i think it's the most relaxing time i had for quite a while. i spent 15 mns just swinging up and down, and my mind just went blank. there was no noise but that of the swing, just a brise and a bright blue sky. i felt more refreshed than i can explain.

when my friend showed up, we were supposed to go to a bar, but we ended up in a much better place: a boat. the people she'd been sailing with were having drinks, so i joined them. i love being on water, and it was so nice to be away from the bustle of the big fair that's currently up in town. there was also a full moon, which was very beautiful, together with the lit-up 'jet d'eau' (known in English as the water fountain, but that's certainly not what i'd call a 33m high 'stream' of water).

i got home rather later, much later than i'd wanted, but i didn't even feel tired. i really think the swing did it. swings rule.
