May. 6th, 2024 11:25 amOn Saturday night I remembered a moment from Friday night.
I was handing the Cub's bag over at swimming and one of the teens waiting to go in the pool turned after me as I walked back through the gents'* changing room.
My car keys were suddenly in my hand, my arm drifting up to a ready position and I was checking his location behind me using the new mirrors they installed last month.
Absolutely nothing happened.
I got my hand and attendant keys into a pocket and swung out of the door, blue boot-covers shuffing, to wait in the corridor for the Cub to arrive from the Ladies'* changing.
Boot covers, by the way, are a 'help us keep the place clean' measure that not everybody adopts. Imagine a pair of blue shower-caps** one is supposed to put over one's outdoor shoes before entering the swimming pool changing rooms, with their regularly wet floors. The bit that grosses me out is that they ask you to reuse the things in the interests of economy. Taking them off leaves you with wet hands, but to still your hands you have to go back into the changing room😄
Go figure.
Maybe they can get me some blue gloves?
*They seem to think we should have the benefit of the doubt.
**Designed for somebody with a head shaped like a boot.
