small pleasures

Yesterday I swung on a swing for the first time in years and years. I've been inhibited from doing it before now because I was afraid I'd be too heavy and break the swing or humiliate myself (due to my extreme girth) in some other way. But yesterday I was at the park with my son and everyone else had gone so we had the place to ourselves and I just thought "Sod it! Why not?". It was fantastic! I'd forgotten how much I love it. The swooping feeling of excitement in your stomach and the wind in your face, so so so much fun. I couldn't help shouting "wheeee!".

Later I laughed until I coughed because my husband forgot the name of Batman's love interest (Vicky Vale) and randomly said Dale Winton instead! Dale Winton and Batman - lovely image!
