Swimming in the rain

[bunn]

I went to Sandy Haven, and swam in the high tide and rain with a friend. It was so wet that by the time we had got out 'dry' was a theoretical state we knew we could not achieve. But it wasn't cold.

I got a notification that LJ at last has got tired of endlessly renewing my 'professional' package for free, and wants me to pay. Which I shall not do, so it remains to be seen how usable it will be without it. I have been mostly crossposting to LJ even now.

I just scrolled through some of the photos I have stored on LJ servers, and made myself sad. Vanished friends and family, beloved beasts and landscapes, good intentions, mean-spirited grumbles, books read, plans and hopes, things written, things drawn.

I've had that account since December 2004, through thick and thin. It's almost half a lifetime. I still can't quite bring myself to let go of it.

Oh, I just love swimming in the rain! And your photo is so evocative, makes me want to be there...

It's sad, and hard, letting go of something with so many, and so varied, memories. This digital world is so strange in its almost whimsical ephemerality.
