Amusing gym story
We've just been for a swim / run in the pool / gym.
It was the first time that I've been swimming in the evening and also the first time that I've worn goggles. I have decided not to wear them previously as they never seem to keep enough water out. It seems that keeping some water out is better than none though so the goggles stay.
The pool is all lit up in the evening at the moment (it gets dark about 5pm) and that combined with the goggles made everything seem a bit eerie. I could imagine I was in a Hitchcock film and about to get drowned by my husband.
Sean had a good run, but unfortunately left his keys (the only pair we had with us) in the gym, which you can get to through the pool but has another lock on the door.
There was still a chap cycling in there, but Sean didn't want to disturb him, I think as this would break his exercise pattern. I don't really understand these things, possibly because I don't swim fast enough.
Instead we tried waiting outside the pool for someone to come past. This was pretty unsuccessful. After we got bored of this (it didn't take that long), I went to go and ask the cycling guy for Sean's keys back.
Last weekend when we went to get some post from the mailroom, Sean managed to walk straight into the door (all the doors are glass here). I did try very hard not to laugh but didn't quite manage it. However I am pretty sure that completely see-though doors would be illegal in the UK on health and safety grounds.
So, anyway, I strode into the pool to go and knock on the gym door. Only I didn't exactly stride into the pool, more into a glass pane that was where the door wasn't. I am quite pleased that I didn't walk into the gym door - heavens only knows what the cyclist would have though then. Sean tried very hard not to laugh etc. etc.
I was consequently a bit disoriented when I finally disturbed the cyclist but he was very nice about the whole thing and I retrieved Sean's keys.
One good thing though: at least we are in a country where it is warm enough that you can stand outside in a wet swimming costume in the evening when it's nearly winter and not feel the cold.
