Recently, I went to my local health club for a swim and a sauna, both of which I particularly enjoy and regularly do; as a grandfather with four granddaughters, I like to keep active so that I can keep up with them when I meet them. But this visit was slightly unusual.
As I approached the mixed sauna and went through the door, I found one solitary young woman, probably in her mid-20s, inside, wearing a minimalist bikini; she was standing upright and reading a book. This was curious: standing in a sauna? One normally sits or lies down; and then reading a book? In a sauna? Most unusual, in my experience. So I just had to start a conversation.
