Once upon a time Tiki and I visited a centre where there was a series of thermal pools of varying temperatures. One particular pool came equipped with small colourful fish that were eager to devour the exfoliations from one’s feet.
Tiki entered before me but as soon as one fish attended to one of her feet she semi-hysterically exited from the pool, stating that she could not bear the feeling it provided.
When it was my turn to enter, each of my feet, almost immediately, attracted some twenty fish. Something that I found to be a source of relaxation.
Having noticed this, Tiki enquired firstly as to how I could stand the sensation and, secondly, how I had managed to attract so many fish in such a short period of time.
My response to the latter question was spontaneous: “They can tell that I haven’t changed my socks in three days!”
