(written 2 days after pool day)

So we met after I had been to OM to get a bit of computer training. A lot of it went over my head, but I have the basics. Interesting to see how vague and non-demanding some personalities can be.

I arrived at the pool station at 1pm, got some foodage and chowed and slept, using the beachball as a pillow. Oh- this was interesting: I tried to inflate the ball without actively blowing in the nozzle thing. Just by pinching the nozzle open and pulling the ball into a spherical shape, I was able to get it about 1/3 full. It was trickier than I thought; I seemed to just reach a limit at that point.

I resorted to the old school technique of applying lung powered air pressure and inflated it to pillow calibre pressure.

Hitomi arrived and we had big fun at the pool. Just floated around the river-ring sometimes with her on the ball, and sometimes me on the ball with her on my back or whatever funny combinations came up, including her driving me as a floating car around the pool. We were so giggly and silly fun! Several times we toppled, and each of those times I just pinched my nose or expelled air in a water-intake-blocking fashion and sank to the bottom with my eyes closed. Next time I go with her, I won't wear my glasses.

We stayed for 2 hours, each hour of which should have cost 300 yen for each of us. In the locker room, there are lockers that cost 100 yen to lock. The 100 yen is returned when the locker is unlocked; they are just for security, not for profit. The fact that the 100 yen is returned is not clearly labeled (that I could read), and I found three 100 yen coins abandoned in the coin return slot of various lockers. No way to track this money nor return it to its owner, so my second hour was free for me.

(Or was it a reimbursement on the first hour, for which I had already paid?)
