Wow, it's been ages since I updated. I guess I've been a bit... distracted
Anyway, I had to update my LJ with details of my blonde moment. I think it deserves to be recorded for posterity!
Five weeks ago I joined the gym at work. It's brand new, dirt cheap (£3.25 per month for unlimited use) and there's no excuse not to go. This evening I completed my workout and had a shower. The water drains out of the shower cubicles quite slowly. I stood for a few minutes waiting for it to drain away but it seemed to be taking forever so I opened the cubicle and grabbed my towel. The plan was to dry my feet before stepping into the changing area to dry the rest of me. Can you see where this is going dear reader? Yep, I managed to drop my towel in the water yet to drain out of the shower. It was absolutely soaked by the time a picked it out. Clearly, I was in a bit of a pickle. The only other person in the gym was a male, middle-aged weight trainer and I didn't fancy yelling at him to bring a towel! In the end I dried myself with my (not terribly absorbent) jogging bottoms. Fortunately I hadn't washed my hair. Additionally, thank goodness my gym bag is waterproof as my towel was absolutely sopping. If it hadn't been waterproof I would have dripped all the way home!
My day didn't get any better either. When I arrived home I accidentally deleted today's Winter Olympics highlights show from my Freeview + box before I'd watched it. Then I discovered that it had only recorded the last four minutes of today's BBC4 episode of 'Upstairs, Downstairs'.
I think I might just stay in bed tomorrow!
