Bashed Up

Ok, first off, Hello to the PT volunteer who is reading and is coming out next August! And thanks for emailing me, it made my day!

I'm currently trying to organise a holiday for me and Sarah. It's chaos. We're in the middle of the summer holiday here, but we both have about 6 days off together by chance in the beginning of January, so we wanted to go to Mossel Bay and do some/all/part of the following:
  • Learn to Surf
  • Sandboarding
  • Go to Wilderness
  • Diving
  • Skydive
  • Paragliding
  • (I just discovered this looking for prices for something else) Quad biking on a Game farm.
But because it's the middle of holiday season, everything is chock-a-block full to the gills! So I'm not entirely sure how well this is going to go!

In other news, me and one of my roomies went swimming in the very green pool yesterday (not 'eco' green. Literally green, it's a bit gross actually) and I wanted to show off my upside-down-balancing-skills, so I tried to do a handstand on the bottom step of the pool. Unfortunately I forgot that if there's a bottom step, there's probably a next step quite close to it. I put my hands on the bottom step,  swing my head down, and smash my face into the next step up. It wasn't overly hard, i.e. I didn't lose any teeth, but I did get a fat lip. I decide to float on the top of the water for a bit, just relax and all, when my roomie decides to swim underneath me to freak me out. Didn't work but I wanted to swim under her to freak her out, and I scraped my chin on the floor of the pool. The floor of the pool has an anti-slip thing which means it's textured as if someone glued sand to the bottom: very rough. So now I have no skin on my chin and thank goodness  my lip went down otherwise I would have seriously looked like I got in a fight. Also, can you imagine people thinking you got in a fight with someone then having to explain it was all self-inflicted due to stupidity?!
