Halloween at the Community Pool

Monday October 31st, 2011 in Community Swimming Pool, In My Life Stuff

This is a dollar store mask! The dragon hat is eating her head tho you can’t see it very well. The whole aquafit class that follows my swim dressed up obediently in accordance with their teacher’s instructions.

My green nose and purple glasses with a transparent witch hat weren’t anywhere.

TRY OUT AT POOL – New Outfit

Wednesday May 25th, 2011 in Clothes (Performance art/design), Community Swimming Pool, In My Life Stuff

Whenever I’m dubious about a new outfit, I wear it to the pool first thing in the morning. Everyone comments about whatever you have on, all the way down to your underwear, no holds barred.
This was a combo blouse and jacket in rayon, an art retrospective including brush strokes with a [...]

Saturday April 23rd, 2011 in Community Swimming Pool

GET OUT OF THAT CAR & SWIM!

Sunday July 4th, 2010 in Community Swimming Pool

My husband does his morning meditations in our car in the parking lot beside the pool where I swim shortly after 7am daily. The place is surrounded by a fringe park, treed and shady, containing squirrels, crows, sparrows and the odd dog walker. He is interrupted regularly by swimmers who feel it is their [...]

COMMENT – COMMUNITY CULTURAL POLICY PLAN

Friday June 25th, 2010 in Community Swimming Pool

Today’s the last day I can comment about one particularly glaring problem in the document that will ’shape the cultural development of the Kingston community over the next 10 years.”

COMPARE THE COMMUNITY POOL

Friday June 4th, 2010 in Community Swimming Pool

The 7AM swim has the usual component of artists, both young and retired as well as iconoclasts from every area of life. Because you have to work out your own program and perform it, except for the few who bring coaches along to improve their performance. But these days, people with such [...]
