I have a shower bench across my bath which would have to be removed. I would have to feel strong enough to be able to get in and out of the bath. (After being in hot/warm water for a long time, my balance is sometimes particularly dodgy.)
Anyway, I don’t think a bath really gets you clean. It uses a lot of water and you wallow there amid the soap and your own dirt. With a shower the water is fresh and you use less of it. I have a shower every morning.
I love my bathroom. It’s not huge. It doesn’t have room for a chair. There’s a sink, a toilet, a cupboard, a bath with a shower over it. Nothing special you might think. But I think my bathroom is particularly conducive to creativity, dreaming and play.
I have a watery, beach theme to the room. There are pictures of dolphins, boats, beach, whale and palm tree. A visiting friend somewhat doubtfully commented that it has a 'strong' theme.
Indeed it does. It’s a theme I find inspirational.
I come up with all sorts of ideas whilst I’m having my morning shower. In my head, I write.
Unfortunately, I suffer from very poor short term memory. I didn’t use to. It’s a MS symptom that particularly annoys me.
I have no idea how many great bathroom thoughts have escaped me within minutes or seconds of completing my ablutions.
I do know one of my thoughts was that it would be really good to have a waterproof dictaphone type apparatus in the shower. When I’m out and about I often record thoughts as voice memos on my iPhone. I want to be able to do that in the bathroom too.
I do keep a pen and post-it pad in there. But even remembering my thoughts between having them in the shower and getting out of it is not a certainty.
It is possible to buy waterproof or, more accurately, water resistant radios for the bathroom/shower. I want a waterproof recorder.
I've always loved your bathroom. Reminds of a lovely beach hut :)
ReplyDeleteIn your case you do not need a waterproof recorder.
ReplyDeleteTake a normal recorder with mechanical command keys, and wrap it in a transparent ziplock bag. The waves of the sound of your voice will cross the membrane of the plastic bag without much distortion.
I bring a recorder with me to the swimming pool, leave it on the border to record thoughts that occur to me during laps. I wrap it in a plastic bag so that it does not get wet, and my voice is clearly audible.
I searched for a while for a "real" waterproof recorder, one you could take with you inside the water, then go up and record your voice once in the air, without success, but that's ok as I usually manage to keep thinking the same idea during two laps before recording it.
