Down to the sea this morning and from a distance the water looks so inviting. Clear, blue, pristine.But oh no! As we draw near the despondency on peoples' faces becomes clear too.Ofcourse there is the usual line standing looking accusingly into the water,- and who can fail to know the problem now.----JELLYFISH!
How dare they interfere with a beautiful morning's swimming? But they do.
Only the brave or foolish venture in now.Or maybe those who swear by vinegar to soothe and heal.As for me, I have experienced their nasty whiplash on several occasions, so this morning I hand over to the more courageous.
It's back home to a cool shower, a cappuccino, and a firm reminder that by tomorrow they will have vanished.
The problem ofcourse is a lingering fear, which if one is not careful can quickly develop into acute anxiety neurosis and ruin those blissful morning swims.--- No definitely not!
