swing

yesterday we were bored, and went on an excursion to helgum. at first it didn’t seem like a very nice excursion: the wind was stronger and colder than in nyland (not cosy at all), and even though the helgum lake was big and nice with a beautiful view, it seemed colder and angrier than our own little lake (i guess that can count as a good thing in a way, actually… before the trip to helgum i thought our lake was rather angry and dark, but compared to the helgum lake ours is quite cute).

after a while we found the school yard, with an extraordinary swing. if you ever pass helgum you really should stop there! i’ve never seen anything like it, but it was really really great. big (=enormous!), and with sort of a ”net” at the bottom, so that you could lie in it really comfortably. and it was very good at swinging too, it never stopped, so you could just lie there and look at the sky and be cosy.

unfortunately i got sea sick pretty quick… i don’t know why that is, i get sea sick really easily nowadays… both from swings and roundabouts… it’s as if the inner parts of my body are slower than the outer parts, so that my guts don’t really follow the movements of the swing or whatever i’m riding on. do guts get heavier when you get older? or maybe they get less attached to the body?
