Hi Carol @patient 99 - I wasn't aware a hot tub was a 'Swinging' accessory, do you know that from personal experience, I wonder?? Obviously East Sussex is a lot more uninhibited than SW London!
My reasons for getting it .......
No I don't like the water. Only seasick once a long time ago, but it was horrifically rough and I was unknowingly 4 months pregnant. However I am mildly terrified of the water as I am such a rubbish swimmer .......... another reason for the hot tub, I figure even I cant drown in that! I am sufficiently stupid that as long as I have a reasonable boat 'wall' between me and the sea, I forget it's there. We sold our cruiser at the end of last year and bought a big, mean looking black RIB that will go like crazy. Cant wait to give it a spin. Hubby has bought me a sexy, new automatic lifejacket .... although you cannot really put 'sexy' and lifejacket' in the same sentence. He got it especially as it accommodates 'ladies' chests' and I wouldn't wear my other one ....
Hubby's racing yacht is a stripped down racing beast - no niceties at all. The water comes in and goes out and you have to keep doing the ducking and hanging out over the side bit - which is scary and not my thing at all. The one and only time I tried it I screamed when it went on its side with my side in the water. Hubby was so embarrassed and humiliated that I have been banned.
Doing our own thing and us both being horribly independent certainly works for me and 'im indoors. 36th wedding anniversary 10 days ago - eek! Also the chalk and cheesiness of our characters helps. You will have guessed that I am obviously the serious, academically brilliant, staid, rational and sensible one in the relationship -
Don't talk to me about the Tory manifesto - the election is currently the main subject of conversation here ........... and another good reason to escape and drown my sorrows in the hot tub.
Hope you manage to get some answers about your knee. I will not dwell, just to say that I am fortunate in that mine is really good.
Take care and hope to see some wedding photos soon !
Love Chris XX
My reasons for getting it .......
- Fizzy whizzy jet underwater massagy bits ........
- Alcohol + sun + water
- More alcohol + sun + water
- We are not overlooked at all so I can run around in my bathers without causing the neighbours to projectile vomit at my somewhat battered, flabby and scarred self.
- I have told hubby it is akin to hydrotherapy so will be really good for my joints ......... he believed me!
