As may realise, I usually put photographs on my blog when I haven’t time to write or when nothing exciting or interesting has happened; today it is a bit of both – I want to go out for a walk on the beach and nothing extraordinary has occurred (swimming in my pool is not extraordinary, just very pleasant). Today I shared my pool with Lorelle and the German young men who have been staying recently (my friend does B+B), but really I prefer to have the pool entirely to myself.

On my own the pool is not merely a swimming pool, it is a blue lagoon and I am a mermaid. Mermaids like to think and sing to themselves rather than to make conversations with people, even when the people are three hunky young men (well, the eldest is only twenty-two!). Mermaids in lagoons like to dream up stories and blow bubbles through their noses… But today I was not a mermaid – just an ordinary pool-cleaner and swimmer.

And now I am going to the beach – I’ll take some photographs on my mobile camera just in case nothing interesting happens….
