Fun at the gym!

Today has been another busy day although it wasn't as manic or as stressful as yesterday, thank goodness! We still had rain and wind to contend with but at least we didn't have any parties at lunchtime!

After work Sophie and I went to the gym with mum and dad and we had a great time. We all did our workouts first and then went down to the pool where I tried to get mum to use a float and do some exercise in the water. She kept shrieking as she thought she was going to go under so in the end she just walked slowly up and down with Sophie as the pool is about mid-chest height. I was able to do a few lengths in relative peace as Sophie stayed with mum!

After the swim we all went into the spa and we showed Mum and Dad the part of the whirlpool where you can lie back but that caused more shrieks as they then weren't able to get back on their feet! We ended up in the sauna (too hot) and the steam room (too steamy) but we did have a laugh and it was great to go and relax as a family after the stresses of the last few days. It's wonderful to be able to go down to the spa and relax after the exercise and this is the main reason I chose the Virgin gym over any others in the town.

Our evening was lovely as three of us tucked into a roast dinner that Keith had cooked. I say three of us because Sophie couldn't face biting into the meat and had a bowl of soup instead, poor thing!
