We had another extremely busy day at work as people called to get their memberships frozen. A lot of the calls were from our older members who felt they couldn't get out for a while, which was understandable. We also had calls about whether we were still open - yes, with no plans to close if we could - and swimming lessons which were still going ahead, much to the surprise of some people.
When I left at 3pm the centre was almost empty which felt very strange indeed. There should have been a school in using our swimming pool and we always get lots of people playing badminton or basketball, but it was eerily quiet. The car park was empty!
I drove home, collected Keith and we went around to see Mum and Dad as I had called The Hawthorns yesterday to see if they were still taking new residents, which they were, and they said they would love to welcome my parents. I was very relieved that they were still open during the current situation and after some discussion, they agreed to give it a month's trial.
We didn't stay long as I felt quite drained after work and it was lovely to go home and relax. Sophie was back at work normally today but will be working from home next Tuesday and Wednesday. She said that the gym this morning was very quiet and the usual regulars were missing.
We enjoyed beef stroganoff for dinner with a lovely garlicky sourdough loaf and relaxed by watching Masters of Flip again! It's starting to become required viewing to escape!
