    Oh, that is just ridiculous! I'd have done the same, but how I'd have enjoyed honing ny acerbic letter to Customer Services afterwards - the words sizzling onto the page from my pen. ..

    Good to see you SH - I found it much more difficult to consistently exercise when I was working and the winter months are a deterrent too.  

    Another week begins.  Started with dancercise which included a spirited dance-a-long by a hall full of mature ladies doing the YMCA.  Can't help but smile during that.  Then MrBC and I had our Monday morning team brief 😀 with a cuppa at the leisure centre.  In theory we now both know what we are doing for the next 7 days, what we are eating and where we are going.

    we had such a nice afternoon drinking tea and reading through the stack of newspaper articles we've accumulated.  Plenty of newspaper now ready to go into tomorrow's recycling.

    we did spend some money booking ferry tickets for IoW this summer.  The price of them makes me think I've inadvertently bought a super yacht!

    How can they justify a high price for such a short crossing? 

    Sounds like a fun start to the week at the dancercise class 🙂
