Hanging out in the sauna
Since we moved to Spain 2 and a half years ago I seem to have ballooned and lost most of my hair! I don't really know why. I would have thought the sun would have helped me keep the little bit of hair I had left and that it would also be too hot to eat all the time.
WRONG!
Hairs practically all gone and I would now be mistaken for a sumo wrestler. OK, so it's not actually that bad but I've certainly put on a few pounds. It must be the "buena vida" or the "good life" as they say.
Anyway, about 3 weeks ago I decided to join a gym and start shifting some of the weight. I joined a really nice one as I thought unless I pay for it I'll never go. A year's membership there costs 900 Euros, but it's well worth it. It's got the latest excercise equiment and also a spa area with indoor swimming pool, jacuzzis, steam room, suana, etc, and upstairs is the coffee/ restaurant area where you can shill on comfy sofa after your work out. It really is a very nice place to spend the morning.
I tend to go in the morning myself as it's realtively quiet and not having a "real" job means I can take advantage of that. But this morning rushing out the door I forgot to pack one thing....a t-shirt! I couldn't really do the exercises with my nice shirt on. Luckily I'd remembered my swimming shorts so decided to just use the indoor pool and spa today (this is a tough life!).
After about half an hour in the pool and then jacuzzi I sweated it out in the steam room and sauna (still not quite sure what the point of these is really. It's like a sweat-a-thon in them).
Anyway, what's interesting is that the only other people in the sauna are either retired folk, those on holiday or fellow "webmasters". I bumped into another chap today who runs a website too and he too uses the facilities in the morning as it's all nice and quiet.
It seems that being a webmaster is on a par to being retired! Mind you, we were in the sauna chatting for far too long and came out looking like a hot tomato in the end.
Tough life really.
