RE: Secrets from the Eichstätt Garden. Fourth Plates.
I love your free flow of ideas centering around the giving of Christmas gifts.
Recently a friend gifted me a surprise float. Nothing like the original float tank I first had a float in, many many moons ago, where the condensation on the roof of the tank formed onto droplets of water and in the silence all one tuned into was the suspense of when the next droplet would be heard ~ Not very relaxing.
But a beautifully spacious, space-age float tank with a seamless dome cover and changing rainbow colours. And no need for a manager ~ Except to give you the initial instructions as to how to open the cover in case of a panic attack. Which I can't imagine would ever happen. Maybe you can add a 'float' to your Christmas Gift List? For anyone not able to go to Italy or the Dead Sea? ♥︎♥︎⚖️♥︎♥︎
I am ripping the bath out already! (Where else to put this great Xmas gift?)
How about building a replica of an ancient Roman Bathhouse in the backyard. But inside is a 'space-age' float tank? ♥︎♥︎⚖️♥︎♥︎
Have not been able to reply sooner: spent the past 4 days on the Bathhouse in the garden. Fences were already falling down, so I filched a bit from the neighbours land while I was at it: should now have a building big enough to put in a decent float tank.
Will post up pic of me afloat, if Father C. bothers to deliver on demand. (Nicely worded with a mincepie bribe besides).
WOWIE ZOWIE. You are actually DOING IT. Would so love to see it ~ If by chance I miss your post can you let me know. LOVE how you have put thought into action. AMAZING way for me to start my day seeing this. ♥︎♥︎⚖️♥︎♥︎
I love your reaction! Really, truly, dear Ally, in my minds-eye I am already there! And I hope you are tongue-in-cheek about our dream to float on off into our sweetest inner sea, too. But don't get your hopes up too high that my neighbours would actually agree to my plans....I will post up progress of my fence wars in January, when my landscaper will take away my enchanted garden so that nothing will be left against their fences anymore - they refuse to replace, but will come crashing down after my supporting plants will have been removed...). Boy will I seriously be tempted to crack on with a Bathouse then. For now lavishly feeding that mind's-eye, thanks to your lovely treat of a float tank idea!
