Good morning, everyone! It's Saturday morning at Five Lakes and it's very cloudy after a beautiful day yesterday and rain overnight.
I had a really good drive over after Slimming World. Not too much traffic and didn't take the wrong turning once! I'd got earlier access so was able to go straight to my room, unpack and get settled.
I have a lovely view from my bedroom windowThen, inside . . .
A really nice shower, roomy and powerful. Showering after my swim was blissful!
The other bit of the bathroom - the basin has a motion activated light in front, brilliant when needing the loo in the night.
A bit dark but the bedroom area.
After settling in, I had a lovely swim in the almost empty pool before showering and chilling in the Garden Bar.
Dinner was lovely, really delicious, and afterwards I relaxed and decided to get an early night rather than go to the show which I'd already seen anyway, when I went with Lindsey's group.

I took some photos of dinner but will save them for a separate post, I think - if I remember to continue taking them!
Chris sent me this photo when they cut that loaf. I am very pleased with that. No, it's not holey like white sourdough but it's mostly wholemeal so wouldn't really be.

Today, there's so much to do.
I want to swim and, weather permitting, go for a stroll around the grounds. There's quizzes going on all the time, there's a craft session decorating canvass bags, I'm not terribly interested in the yoga but I would like to do the dancercise.

In the afternoon there's another craft session but also a jazz dance class (no idea what that is) at the same time - I'll maybe do the craft and go to the salsa and cha cha session later. I don't fancy doing the bingo - it's fin in a group but not so much on your own.
I could perhaps have another swim this afternoon - I should have brought two costumes with me really!

So - plenty to do, no chance of being bored in any way.
I'll just finish my coffee and chill before the pool opens, I think.
Have a lovely Saturday. xx
