Suddenly I knew - I had to go here........
well, not at 5am, obviously, but I felt I had to go to the town I grew up in. But not the houses I lived in, but the pool I spent some of my happiest times at during my turbulent childhood.
And as when I was a child, I went alone.
MB offered to come, but I felt I had to be alone. I packed my towels, cossie, slapped on some suncream and fled up the motorway as soon as MB was out of bed.
Sandford Lido celebrated its 70th anniversary last year, and I haven't been there for over 20yrs. This is when it was first finished.
While there, I did swing past my old childhood homes. All my schools are gone now, but number 37 and 57 are still there. No happy memories there - but I spent a pleasant two hours at the pool, swimming, diving, reading and reminiscing. I wondered if 'that' woman or 'this' woman went to school with me. No one knew me, I left town 24 years ago, I felt I was almost invisible.
Normally my condition drives me to flee home - this is the first time I have felt the need to go out of my safety zone. No MB, no crazies, no bobkat - just me.
Now? Now I feel a little at peace. Perhaps I have found somewhere I can go to free my mind from its nasty little demons - perhaps that's why I had to go.

Strange.... Sounded a bit like the homing instinct of a bird.. or salmon.
Odd to say the least!
That pool looks so wonderful...especially to swim laps...It is so interesting to me that water is often such an important component in one's life....The feel of water on the body...swimming in the calm of a pool always has been great therapy for me---the only excersize I ever REALLY liked, cause it never felt like work to me. I hope this place brings you more peace my dear CQ...it looks truly glorious. How wonderful that you thought of it and just went, on instinct.
What a wonderful thing to do! On a moments prompt. I'm so glad it brought you some peace. Peace is hard to find sometimes in this crazy mixed up world! {{hug}}
Wow! what huge pool! It must be wonderful to be swimming in such a large pool. I'm glad you were able to get out and have a break from all the humdrums of everyday. I have been planning to do the same. To go out on my own with no one tagging along but it never materialized. I think what you did was great. Maybe next time when my impulse says I go out, I better do too.
So glad you found somewhere that helped so much :-) I understand totally. I visited a place from my past recently that made me happy and I felt so peaceful.
i love lidos. and swimming in those lovely big pools what could be better. sounds wonderful sweetie. i'm so glad that the opposite of what you would normally expect could be so refreshing!
i also loved the seaside post and photos below. great stuff.
I also have a place that I like to "escpae" too. It is also a place with a lot of memeories and some are nto good. However, it is comforting. I really hope that you found the lido comforting
Why are outside pools called lidos anyway?
Boy! that was a very nostalgic trip you made. Glad you enjoyed it.
My MM is up too. Happy Monday!
Sometimes we need to find a place to call our own, to think, to hide, to reconcile. Sounds like that's what you are doing sweetie. Just let your heart and mind work together. Keeping you in my thoughts and sending you a great big hug!
I don't know what it is about pools but they are the most relaxing things for me. Just to float in the water, leaving all your cares behind. I find that it's more like mediation than exercise. I think that's why I always live in a place that has a pool. :)
I'm here from Wendy's!
Personally, I do not like swimming. Water is just not something we felines enjoy. However, I can understand how you instinctually felt the need to return to a place filled with happy memories. I do that often too, but it involves jumping onto the back of the couch to sleep since that is where I am happiest! ;)
Dogs. Blech! And loud, nocturnal dogs are the worst!
I love taking walks down memory lane...longing for the days when things were so simple. I feel sort of sad that some of your landmarks are gone. Good thing the deconstruction of a building can not touch your memories.
Thanks for sending me here, Wendy!

[color=#330066]Hello
With the increase in popularity of tagged poker chips as a virtual currency in facebook texas holdem poker game a lot of thieves have engaged themselves, who try their best to trick unsuspecting players out of their hard earned facebook poker chips. All over the internet forums are littered with posts by innocent people who have had their poker chips stolen. Nothing is as sorry state as logging to Facebook or MySpace to play a few games of poker only to find that your account is hacked and your poker chips are gone.[/color]
[url=http://www.chipshut.com][img]http://www.chipshut.com/img/facebook-poker-chips-hut.jpg[/img][/url]
[color=#330066]Keep these basic things in mind to protect your facebook poker chips:
Never give your password to a stranger: Trust is a delicate thing that takes a long time to build but only second to destroy. You may meet a sexy girl in poker room and you are friends with him/her. He/she will keep interacting with you days before playing her trick. So be carefull enough to protect your login credentials to yourself, else this may lead to disaster.
Be careful about what you download: Professional online gamers are looking for cheats or hacks for the games they play in order to give them an advantage on their opponents. Poker is no different and there are plenty of websites on the internet touting facebook poker cheats and hacks for those brave enough to download and install them. But many of these so called facebook poker cheats have viruses or trojan programs. The moment you install any of these your computer is at the risk of attacks by the creator of the program. He can then have access to vital information that you access from your computer. Leaving your facebook poker account at risk of been hacked. If you never downloaded any of these programs then you’re probably safe, and if you have then you should run a spyware detection program. The best move will be for get your computer formatted to avoid any loop holes.
Phishing Links: This way of hacking has been thee for quite sometime now. Hackers send legitimate and official looking emails to your inbox. When you open them you are asked to click on the link and login in order to save your account or win free facebook poker chips, but in reality you are logging into a fake site that sends your information off to the hacker who made it. Before you find it out, its too late to react and they would have already broken into your account and emptied it of any facebook poker chips that you may have.
YouTube scams: If you do a search on youtube for facebook poker cheats, zynga poker hacks, or free facebook poker chips you’ll find hundreds of videos on the topic. More than 90% of them are made by idiots hoping to convince you to send them your account information. They range from slightly clever to completely moronic.
Image Photo Having Exe Embedded In it: This one is hard to catch. This is the latest fashion that is used by scammer, you will be asked to share family photo's. When you open their photo, that will innitiate an exe in the background which will steal all your information and send to the mastermind behin it. So be careful with whom you share photos.
Hope these tips help you saving your chips.
These tips have been brought to you by [/color][url=http://www.chipshut.com]Chips Hut[/url][color=#330066] if you are looking to buy [/color][url=http://www.chipshut.com]facebook poker chips[/url], [color=#330066]you may go to our online store.
