Another jolly!

We don't seem to have spent much time at work this week as today we went off to the NEC in Birmingham for the Leisure Industry Week trade show. We were really hoping to see a new bouncy castle to buy but our part of the show was very small indeed, and the show itself was much reduced from previous years, although the sport and fitness section was well attended.

We had a wander around and after lunch went to one of the PPA talks called "The Magic of the Mouse" which, as the name suggests, was about adapting the phenomenal success of Disney to our own businesses. It was a very interesting talk and we did take some tips back to work with us.

By 2pm we'd seen all we wanted to see and headed home in time to pick Sophie up from school. On the way we were amazed to see a fly-by of a Vulcan Bomber over Pitsford Reservoir which Dad thought was fantastic!

Sophie and I went to the gym much later today, after 7pm, as we thought it might be quieter...how wrong we were! It was packed but by the time we went down to swim it had emptied out considerably so we swam ten lengths then relaxed in the spa. Brilliant for relaxing just before bed!
