Sunday, 05-02-23

 Good morning!   I'm feeling a bit fragile this morning after overdoing it rather last night but  not to worry, I don't have to drive anywhere or do anything if I don't want to.  😉  The coffee beside me on the table will sort me out, I am sure!

Yesterday was brilliant.  I slightly changed my plans as I thought it would be rather a rush to have the swim early.  Instead, I went to breakfast, then to the dance studio for the dance fitness class (which was absolutely brilliant) and had my swim after that.

As I'd had such an early start to the day, I had a chill time after lunch and a bit of a snooze before enjoying some quizzes and a wander around.  

In the evening it was showtime and a game and was very good.  Before I got here, I was expecting the team to give the show - lots of songs and dances, but yesterday it was Darren Day giving us an hour of stuff.  I had heard of him before but that's all really.  Imagine a chap with a bit of a tum, some unfortunately tight trousers and a pair of the most regrettable shiny shoes I have seen in a long while - and a fantastic voice!  

And then it was up to bed!

Today (looking at the programme) starts with Wake Up, Work Out and Stretch (sounds a bit Hi De Hi to me) after breakfast and after a fifteen minute break there's something called 'Strictly Potters' which I am assuming is sort of salsa exercise.  It says 'no partner necessary' so I'll give it a go and am looking forward to it.

There's more quizzes (which are very good fun although I am useless at them really) and I will probably have another swim this afternoon.  The pool really is nice and there are loungers so I could spend some time relaxing between dips.

And in the evening, it is showtime again, the main one being something entitled 'Cool Britannia', commemorating British artists through the decades - people like Elton John, Queen, Ed Sheeran, etc.  Sounds great.

Sadly, at some point, I will be packing what I can and getting it into the car so there's very little to do tomorrow morning.  That's what I always do and I suspect I'm not the only one by a long shot.

Sorry about the lack of photos - there are so many people here, it has been impossible to photo without getting other people in close up.  I'll see what I can do this afternoon.

Right - so it's time for a bath - the bath is so lovely and deep and I treated myself to a bath bomb from the little shop here so I will enjoy that.   See you tomorrow and have a great Sunday  xx

  5. I saw Darren Day perform in a musical some years ago now ... no issue with shiny shoes but then he was probably dressed by the person in charge of the wardrobe! It sounds like you are having a lovely time. Enjoy your walk in the sunshine and look forward to seeing the photos. xx

    1. ROFL. To be fair, the trousers weren't disconcertingly tight, it really was just those shoes! xx
