Yesterday I was leaving the apartment to go out and pick up some fabric I wanted for cushions (with this move I’m feeling the need to nest.) When the lift arrived there was already another tenant inside from one of the floors above.
‘Morning,’ we both said and smiled.
I looked at him and I felt a stab of guilt. He was dressed in trainers, shorts and a t-shirt and was clutching a bottle of water. The light to floor six was illuminated. Bugger it. I jabbed the ground floor button. ‘Oh,’ I said. ‘You’re going to the gym…’
‘I am.’ He looked pleased and pulled a small towel from the crook of his arm and dabbed his forehead in anticipation of his sweating.
I wanted to be sick. It’s proving so hard to get the fitness back since I was away in the summer and these two weeks weren’t going to make it any easier. Then I realized…
‘Oh yes,’ I said, triumphant; ‘I’m also going to the Jim. I’m going to the Jim Thompson fabric shop; do you think that’ll have the same effect?’

Very witty post. I love it.
All the best, Boonie
Thanks Boonie.
Brilliant comeback! (And ace logic - yes, I'm sure it will work.)
Well...I think visiting the Jim Thompson fabric shop and buying such scrumptious fabric served to improve your creative & mental health. So...I think visiting Jim was much more beneficial then visiting gym. And....now I think of it, you didn't need to use a sweat towel which saved on washing & therefore helped to preserve the environment. OOoh and now I'm on a roll cause it also helped keep the Jim Thompson staff and suppliers in a job!
Wow - so in summary....by avoiding the gym & instead visiting Jim you: improved your mental & creative health; saved the environment & saved people's jobs. You should get a medal instead of feeling guilty.
LOL. Kat :-)
Ha ha. That was quick thinking!
LOL!! Totally love it :-)

No. It won't. Get back to the gym, this minute!
(Should probably confess that I'm sitting here in my gym kit, procrastinating...)
Very Nice. Big smile.
What did he say? Or do? Jane x
