Oh no - I changed colour in the geothermal pools!

📅 Daily Check-in - June 13, 2026

💭 Reflection:

"What a day - a day that didn't go to plan. Mum and I went to purchase bags of concrete quick set so that we could start repairs on the culvert following recent floods. Then in the afternoon, I was supposed to do some practice coaching with a fellow student but before I knew it, I received a call from a friend from out of the blue. We arranged for my two boys and her son to meet at the beach for some quality escape time. YES was my response without hesitation. But before I knew it, we were heading up to Ngawha Springs instead to have a soak in the geothermal pools there. I spent probably 15-20 mins in the 44 degree pool after soaking in a tepid 33 degree pool. After that I relaxed in the 36 degree pool. The interesting thing was the water went blacker the hotter the temperature. AND your skin also started going grey/black. I'd love to know what the chemical was that caused that. Anyway, I chose a relaxing soak and some special friend time over study/practice. I needed connection and I needed relaxation - today I got both and I feel AMAZING!"
