We'll have to get out bikini's out, Ruthio.
That'd be a sight for sore eyes wouldn't it. 

Heat wave coming up at the weekend! 

The council put all its Gym contracts up for tender. The group I am with have several gyms including my nearest (which they are losing). I tend to go to one a bit further away as it is never busy when I go but has terrible parking so I walk. If it's grotty weather I drive to the one near me which has good parking. I did look at another I'd still have access to but when I went the parking was almost full.

After looking at alternatives I decided I'll cancel and go with one in town. There is (currently) free council parking next to it or I could take the bus or more probably walk as the distance is similar to what I've been doing. I phoned shortly after their line opened which is only 10 to 4. There was a form on their website to cancel but as there are only a few days before I'll be in for another month's charge I waited after sending it. When I eventually got on I was told it was email/form only. I told the person I'd filled in the form while waiting but wasn't certain of my membership type which it wanted. She apologised and said there were only two of them and I'd been 12 in the queue.

I've been out but when a got back there was an email. Immediate answer when I replied to the pointless question about if I was the acount hoilder. Then some back and forth about whey I was leaving and an offer of discount. All replies probably quicker than my own.

There is a clue in the sig how this was achieved...

There is going to be even more unemployment I fear.

I may give it a poor rating saying it could all have been handled in my first call.

It was cold Saturday but sunny. I went shooting with my son wearing jeans and a good woolly with the skeet vest  (they have monster pockets for cartridges but no warmth) on top. Plenty warm enough. 

Went this morning - same kit plus a warm bomber jacket under the vest. Really frozen in no time. Thawed out after at daughters place which is near the clay ground.

Sadly losing our old friends. 

A grumpy pensioner while visiting town
Moaned closed shops were getting him down
No more cobblers the end of all that
just loads of charity shops selling crap
Still - just 50p for that dressing gown...

Leaving the shop bargain in hand
He checked the label to see the brand
BHS where were they now? 

I suggest you all leave her alone.  I'm sure she'll pipe-up if and when she wants to tell us what she's doing.
