After my swim this morning, I went into the sauna. It was empty, so I got my usual spot without any bother. I like to sit on the top bench in the corner with my back to the wall and another wall at my shoulder. The picture below shows my favourite position.
Most people usually sit upright, but some people like to lie down flat on the bench if there aren’t many people in the sauna. I don’t mind that. It doesn’t stop me from enjoying the heat, so live and let live is what I say.
But today, after a while, a woman came in and she sat down at the other end from me. Well, she didn’t sit. Look at the numbers in the picture below and I’ll tell you what position she took up.
Number 1 is where her feet were flat against the wall. Number 2 is where her legs were from her heels to her knees. Her back was at number 3, and her head and arms were in the space at number 4. How do I know this? Because I opened my eyes and looked. What was she doing? She was doing sit-ups! In the sauna! But as I said, she wasn’t interfering with my enjoyment of the sauna, so good luck to her.
I closed my eyes again, but later I opened them. This time, (see the picture below) she had changed her position. Now she was lying down flat on the bottom bench. Her head was at number 1, her bottom was against the wall at number 2, the backs of her legs were flat against the wall at number 3, and her heels were at number 4. This time, she was just stretching. They say you live and learn, so I might give it a go the next time I’m there.
Now Hear this.
