swimming

Went swimming for the first time in about five years. I had been trying to get there for about a month now and in the middle of a storm I decide to go. Doesn't sound very bright but at least I finally got there. I had to traverse a fallen tree across Canterbury road, an accident on the corner of Mt Dandy Rd the wind the rain and fogged up windows. I had never swum at Croydon before so I wasn't to sure where I was going. Can't say I really enjoyed the whole experience. I was cold most of the time and when I used the showers to wash my hair after I finished my swim before goings home I found that the showers were automatic. Sounds like a good idea but the water temperature was just off cold so I still couldn't warm up. Add to that the fact that they work on sensors and every time I turned around or moved a bit they clicked off. I was nearly finished my rather cool shower when I could hear two male voices having a conversation. I froze for a moment. Oh no. Don't tell me I've come into the men's showers. Don't panic I told myself there's nothing you can do about it now. Just finish your shower and quietly slip out of the change room and never, never, ever show your face at this pool again. When dressed I opened the shower door a crack and peeked out. The coast seemed to be clear so I began walking out. Then I noticed, on the wall a tampon machine. Whew. I'm OK. It has to be the ladies shower room but just to be doubly sure as I walked out I checked the sign over the door.
