It was glorious \u2018to turn as swimmers into cleanness leaping.\u2019 We frolicked and water-bombed and sometimes, in the moonlight, skinny-dipped. We chattered and laughed and put the world to rights and shared thoughts sacred, silly and profane. But now the pool is stagnant. It is frothy with scum, clogged with weeds and littered with broken glass, sharp rocks and slimy rubbish.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I do miss Twitter. Not the distraction of it or the social interactions but the ability to provide a running dialogue of my life.
