Enjoying peace and quiet

Three AM Sunday morning and I'm sat on the beach I must have been crazy but suddenly had the urge to go for a swim . I came down on my quad sat on the beach looking out at the sea so quiet and peaceful and decided to pop in for a quick swim I know I shouldn't have but it was great I kept close to the beach and wasn't in for long and apart from the sea being lit up by the moon the water was lovely and warm . I'm sat drying off now that is the good thing about wearing shorts constantly you don't need to worry about changing 😅😅 ok it's a crazy thing to do when you have your health and far worse when you haven't but the feeling of total freedom was worth it .

Glad you enjoyed it Davey. Great to have the option of a warm sea lol the one close to me is freezing …. NE Scotland. Just be safe. 😄

[Hidden in reply to Gladwyn]

I know it's pretty irresponsible of me especially with all my health issues especially the seizures but I just had the urge and the best part is no tourists around so don't have to worry about covid. I enjoyed the swim and just getting ready to head back home every where is peaceful. As my grandmother used to say to me if you get an urge seize the day .

[Gladwyn in reply to Hidden]

You are a sensible person so you followed your gut and had the swim you wanted. Hope you sleep well tonight and wake fresh ready for the days challenges. 😃💤💤💤

[Hidden in reply to Gladwyn]

That's one of my other problems I don't sleep much usually about three times a day I may drop off for twenty minutes I call them power naps but I was in security for so many years and didn't get a sleep pattern because I used to do some what we called pigback shifts one after another . So you could never really get into a sleep pattern and I did security for over twenty years 😅👍

[Gladwyn in reply to Hidden]

I like being awake at night so it never bothers me not sleeping. I used to do a lot of night shifts years ago so maybe that’s why. The country doesn’t feel so crowded lol at night when most people are asleep and out of the way. 🥳😇💐🦋

[Hidden in reply to Gladwyn]

It's funny you say that because I am definitely a night owl as my gran always called me , I'm more alert at night probably because there's no people about .I'm still sat on my quad I haven't moved yet I just keep looking across the sea I can see the Turkish mountain range in front of me . A beautiful sight shame my phone is not good for night pictures

[Gladwyn in reply to Hidden]

Sounds amazing! I’m surrounded by a tall hedge so only see the sky when I look out and upwards lol but no stars tonight just dark night sky. I don’t really like looking out over the garden at night as I always almost expect a face to look back at me and frighten what little wits I have left out of me lol. 👻👻👻👻

[Hidden in reply to Gladwyn]

I'm used to being in the dark and I'm safe enough here apart from maybe the odd shark 😃 but if one bit me it would end up with food poisoning 🤣🤣

[Gladwyn in reply to Hidden]

😂😂😂😂. Serve it right then 😂😂😂😂

[Hidden in reply to Gladwyn]

Oh yes , my dad got bit years ago on his hand by a taup shark didn't do any damage.

[Maggie_Mae in reply to Gladwyn]

That gave me a giggle... Gladwyn

if we went into the sea here in Scotland at 3 am ...it would involve some sort of resuscitation 😱😂

[Hidden in reply to Maggie_Mae]

😂😂😂😂 well even I'm not crazy enough to do that and by God I'm crazy

[Gladwyn in reply to Maggie_Mae]

Too true Maggie_Mae lol. Brrrrrrr 🌊❄️

[Hidden in reply to Gladwyn]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[naresh62]

Wow sounds great you are certainly putting ideas of holidays in hotter climates in most of our minds Davey,sounds like a beautiful place to live and swim,don’t forget safety first mate.Take care god bless naresh.

[Hidden in reply to naresh62]

Sometimes you get an urge you have to act on it 🤣 but Im careful

[Hidden]

It's nice to be able to do something when you can. I can imagine the moon on the water. Must be been absolutely beautiful.

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

It was but the moon wasn't a full moon it was a three quarter Cresent but still lovely

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

I would love to see something like that.

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

[sassy59]

That wasn’t a great idea but you enjoyed it and are still here. Warm sea is unheard of here. Take care xx👍

[Hidden in reply to sassy59]

Yes must admit I was reckless but I enjoyed the swim an empty beach nothing but total silence just the sound of the sea lapping up the beach the siluette of the Turkish mountain range across from me and even with a three quarter Cresent moon the light danced on the water so peaceful

[Maggie_Mae in reply to Hidden]

That sounds like Bliss ...a little piece of your own heavenAs Naresh said earlier , putting ideas of warmer climates in some of our heads

[Hidden in reply to Maggie_Mae]

It could be 😂😂😂 beauty is for sharing and if you look around it's everywhere you have to have an open mind and heart

[Maggie_Mae in reply to Hidden]

That’s very true , sometimes it can be the smallest thing or something that’s been there the whole time and you didn’t realise it.I think the word I was really looking for regards your description was tranquil

[Hidden in reply to Maggie_Mae]

Yes or it can be something totally unexpected that appears right in front of you and it can change your life forever. Life like everything as it's Quirk's

[Alberta56]

Wow! Sounds absolutely magical. Glad you got away with it. xxx

[Hidden in reply to Alberta56]

I push the boundaries life is for living and a moment of crazy can turn into a life of bliss and love

[Suzie42]

Wow what a great thing to do, well done, how refreshing for you. I know it was irresponsible of you to do it with your seizures etc, but you only live once eh!Well done, full of admiration for you 🐟🐠🏊‍♂️

[Hidden in reply to Suzie42]

When you glow inside from someone's kind words or a gesture it gives you a completely different feeling to thing's

[hypercat54]

Glad you enjoyed it Davey and stayed safe. I think all of us will be visiting you soon!

[Hidden in reply to hypercat54]

The difference in lifestyle between the UK and Greece is fenominal , in the UK the biggest downer is everyone runs around like fleas on a pigs back but here it is so lay back

[Ergendl]

Gosh, that reminds me of swimming at Glystra beach when no-one else was around. Glad you were able to indulge your whim and feel so much better after.

[Hidden in reply to Ergendl]

So do i
