Morning runs are the best

Everybody's been complaining about the hot weather lately in London. I've been enjoying the sun somewhat but I tried to stay in the house as often as possible - though that didn't work out too well. My past couple of weeks have been filled with work, work and more work. Usually awake by half 5 in the morning, off to work, back home, do more work, and sleep around midnight. Or if I have time, I have a run in the mornings as my gym has closed down for a month for refurbishment. I don't want to be without exercise for a month so I'm making an effort to go out for my run. Early mornings are refreshing! And less people around = less embarrassment!

Oh, and I've improved my runs. Managed to do my route of 2 miles non-stop. Might need to twiddle it around a bit so I'm made to run more. I think my previous stopping-and-starting was due to not being used to running and people staring at me and making me feel self-conscious. That doesn't happen as much in the mornings. Plus running into other runners (pardon my pun haha) gives me more of a push to continue.

Go me go!!

Men's toilets the wrong direction to go!

I went to see the Internship in the cinema yesterday evening before it's official release. Just before the movie started, I wanted to pop into the toilet. Worse thing is wanting to go toilet during the best parts of a movie. I don't think I've ever done it and pretty much get annoyed when people in front of me do. I get distracted very easily!

So off I went, hunting for the toilets. I looked up and there was a sign there. The male and female icons was arrowed left and the disabled and baby changing was arrowed forward. Fair enough. I headed towards the left and glanced at the door. It had a funny looking icon and it looked like someone messed around with it. Meh, I thought. You often get toilets with strange, funky signs but you accept them anyway because they're meant to be cool.

In a way, I knew.

I thought it was strange......and the icon looked like a man. But the arrows pointed in this direction, so it must be. You know how you get some toilets where you enter through a door and the men's are on the left and the women's are on the right? Well, I assumed it might be one of those. I pushed open the door and met another door. But only one. How odd.

I pushed it and srraightaway I saw urinals lined across a wall. Omg, I just walked into the men's toilets!! Big woops! I was lucky not to come across anyone inside and I edged away quickly. A girl walked past as I left the final door and goodness knows what she thought.

The ladies were actually in the direction of the disabled and baby changing.

The signs were so misleading!! *blush* I hope I wasn't the only one to make that same mistake.
