Again the weather and events seemed to have collaborated in an attempt to foul up my quest for a lunchtime swim.
As I was leaving for my swim during lunch, my landlord called and asked for a viewing. Thinking that I could still go for laps after the viewing, I decided to go back to office to wait for her. It was an hour or so before we decided that the agent wasn’t coming and I should just not waste anymore time. So off I went… Right smack into pouring rain…
Yes. The sky decided to open itself pissing onto the good old earth as I was about to head out again to the pool. Based on the recent weather patterns, I took a gamble that the rain wasn’t going to last and decided that I was not to be stopped by rain since I’m going to in a large pool of water anyway.
So off I go… Yet again…
When I reached the pool, I was surprised to find the area warm and humid but still dry… Glad that I was going to get some swimming done, I changed and just as I plunged into the pool and surfaced, I felt the familiar sensation of cold water droplets on my head and shoulders. Not a good sign. Looking up, I was determined to do my laps no matter what and so I started my routine ignoring the rain… Right until the 8th lap… When the heavens decided that they should issue me an ultimatum of thunder and lightning. That’s when I concluded that I’ve pushed my luck as far as I could have and got out of the pool.
Well, only 8 laps, not as much as I would like to and there wasn’t any sun to bask myself in but it’s still something. Maybe the weather will hold out for me next time… Maybe… Maybe…
