Our hot tub is up and running and my goodness is it ever divine. There’s nothing quite like feeling cool raindrops on your face while your body is toasty warm. Sometimes I like to prop my feet up on the side so that my toes get cold as well - cold toes, cold head, warm everything in between - loverly.

Bert even promised that if I get up early one morning he will bring me breakfast in the hot tub. In my mind that has got to be even better than breakfast in bed. Anyway I’m tentatively planning on setting the alarm early on Monday…I’ll let you know how it goes.
The only two things I don’t like about the hot tub are (1) smelling like bromine afterwards (while bromine is not quite as offensive as chlorine, it’s no great shakes either) and (2) putting on a bathing suit that hasn’t quite dried since the last time I soaked. Especially the tummy bit - why is it that the tummy region is so sensitive to cold?

Anyhow, we usually keep the hot tub running until early December but this year we’re thinking about starting a fund-raising drive to buy a real cover for it so that we can keep it running all winter long. Part of me thinks that this is the best idea we’ve every had but another part of me thinks that it’s not a very environmentally responsible thing to do.

I want that Riddler coin from Batman - the one with two heads so there isn’t two sides to this coin. Or was it the Joker with the double-headed coin? Or am I thinking of another series of movies all together?
