Climbs high dive repeating the mantra "it's perfectly safe", "it's perfectly safe","it's perfectly safe","it's perfectly safe".......
Starts to think about that Kafka short story "The Tower".
Tries to think of happy things, like the scent of gorse on a hot sunny day.
Foolishly looks down, and is reminded of kissing the Blarney stone,
(http://www.historic.irishcastles.com/blarney.htm), quakes a little - but continues upwards.
And further, and further, 161, 162, 163..........
Seriously focusing on gorse as she steps out onto the board - tries to imagine she's in the installation 20:50,
(http://www.tate.org.uk/britain/turnerprize/20years/wilsonr.htm)
but fails horribly.
Realises she has reached higher heights, scaled more dangerous constructions, actually jumped off a mountain in the real world.....
Runs down board, jumps up, executes perfect reverse three and a half somersaults!
Hits the water without a hint of a splash.
Rather spoils the effect by crawling shaking from the pool vowing to never ever use the diving board ever ever again.
Heads off to the bar,
Needs a stiff drink.

"Needs a stiff drink."
Understandably. Especially after the room half filled with sump oil. I think I'll skip the high dive and go straight for the

Hello everybody!
*waits for cries of "Hi, Dr Feuille!" but alas, there are none*
Anyway. I am your new medic *looks stern* so if any of you get into any trouble, give a yell, and I'll try to do...something...
I'll just be over here, shall I?
*sits on a deckchair and starts reading "Black's Student Medical Encyclopedia"*

*Looks around* There doesn't seem to be anyone in here right now. The bar is filling up, you should come over, someone's bound to fall off a barstool soon enough.

Oh good, no one else here. 
I *prefer* a pool that's not too crowded - makes it easier to do my laps!
*eases into the water*
Little chilly today, but oh well, a few laps and I'll be warmed up. 
*starts swimming*

Ugh! Forgot to put my hair back! 
Can't breathe when my hair is all over my face.
*arranges clips to hold hair out of face*
There, that's better!
*resumes swimming*
