Cold Showers...Bbbrrrr!

"When my brother in 1918 came home from the army, he said, 'Ed, whenever you take a hot shower, end it with an ice cold one and count to 100.' When your older brother tells you to do something, you do it,"

- Edward Rondthaler, 100 yrs and going strong

I love, absolutely live for hot showers. It's an indulgence. A necessity. Can spend half an hour just standing and running burning hot water over myself. In addition, sleep is good after in an air-con filled room. Even better if there's a bath tub...bubble baths! That's why 5 Stars hotel stays are the bomb! Lucky me, house in Perth had a bath tub and you can bet it was utilised to the max during winter. What's more the water bill was a flat rate of AUS150 a year for unlimited usage. So housemates and I felt like we owned an oasis! Yup, no camping trips for me definitely. I ain't a fan. I'm a girl's girl :). Remember my Outward Bound School experience in Mimaland (what ever happened to this wonderland? ) where I fell sick after a week of cold showers. Yeah, boo hoo to me. Call me a spoilt brat but I was 7 then. It's forgiveable. I reckon a certain cold showers birdy is chuckling at me now :P Oh well, I don't plan to live to a 100 anyway. Don't think it's in my destiny somehow. Said this before but I will consider myself fortunate if I survive to being 70.

And there you have it, wanna live longer? Take cold showers...and if you do take hot ones, take a cold one after like Edward and you'll be playing with your grandchildren in years to come.

Penny for your thoughts people...
