Thursday

 Happy Birthday to Warners at Thoresby Hall.

Yesterday was twenty years since the hotel opened and there were various celebrations.

This was one.  Every hotel guest was given a balloon, a cup cake, a mini bottle of sparkly wine, a card, and in info sheet.
They delivered two to my room but must have realised their mistake (shame) because when I came back from a historical talk there was only one.  I bet they ran out!

It was another lovely day yesterday and I am falling into a pattern.

After breakfast I go for a saunter round, then there's the quiz and various other organised things.  I go back to my room around four for a rest, read, knit, etc before getting changed and going to listen to pre dinner music.

Dinner isn't over until around half seven and then I decide whether to go to the entertainment or to go back to my room.  I didn't last night but I think I might tonight.

Despite a few concerns, once I got into the line dancing, I thoroughly enjoyed myself.  There's a whole load of dances on YouTube so I might pick up on it when I get home.  Even me of the two left feet managed fine.

The cookery demo was likewise enjoyable.  I didn't learn anything really but it was entertaining and I had what he cooked for my evening main - not the exact same meal, obviously, but the same thing.  It was lovely and I will make an adapted version when I get home!

The history talk was also interesting and the chap who was talking and answering questions is a member of family who owned/still owns the kit and caboodle so had loads of facts and funny stories at his fingertips.  The hour went very quickly.

Today is reasonably and pleasantly busy.  At the moment, it is raining so fingers crossed!
I need to sort out my things and start packing because of moving room tomorrow.  I'll bung all the things I have used and therefore non longer need in bags and take them to the car which should make a difference to the stack of things to move.  If I get that done first thing, it is then off my mind.
There's the quiz and then a sort of re-enactment of 'the history of Thoresby Hall' that sounds as if it will be good fun.  Then there's an afternoon matinee, Thoresby Concerto - goodness knows what that is but I'll find out.  After that, there's time for a swim and a leisurely shower/rest before dinner.

The entertainment is 'Bohemian Rock' a celebration of the music of Queen (quoting from the bumph here) so I may very well go.

I can't believe it is Thursday already - where's the time going?

(edited to say that I'm doing my best to keep up with blogs, etc, but apologies if I've missed yours.  I'll do a proper catch up when I get home.)
