Day 24 - An upbeat dance class

It’s Sunday again, and it’s funny how weekends still, somehow, have some sort of meaning these days. I find myself looking forward to Friday evenings, and then the weekend is quieter than mid-week. You don’t have to be keeping an eye out for work-related emails either. One of the things we do miss about weekends, however, is that both the six and nine o clock news are shorter, and more pared back. They often have different presenters too, instead of the regular ones that we’ve gotten to know!

Today I decided to try another Oti Mabuse dance class and, given that I didn’t have anything else to be doing, I decided to do it in costume this time! The tune was from the musical, Hairspray. It was upbeat and fun, and I really enjoyed this one!

This afternoon I decided to pump up my exercise ball, for the first time ever. It has been sitting, uninflated, on my shelf for years, because I mistakenly thought that you had to bring it to a petrol station to be inflated. The others that come to the Pete strength classes told me that you can pump it up with a bicycle pump however, and I was delighted to finally have it ready for action!

In the evening, I sorted through my wallet. It is full of all sorts of cards, some of which I have never used, or haven’t used in years, and it was great to have the time to organise it. I even had time to clean each card individually with an antibacterial wipe! This time, so far, has been a good reset button on life. I’d never have done something like this normally!Read more
