Getting Fit

I am quite excited because we might be joining a health club! I know, it's all a bit ridiculous but it's really REALLY close to our home and its not like a normal smelly gym, its all nice and new and pretty and they give you fresh towels.

It is a bit expensive but we agreed on the honeymoon that we would both make an effort when we got back to do more exercise. Its only £5 more expensive per month than Beau Sejour and its true that we both need to get fit. Although I have started to go out for bike rides. I went after work yesterday in fact, and cycled along the sea front and around L'Ancresse. The problem was that it was 'flying ant' day, you know, the day when there are thousands of ants taking to the skies? They kept landing on me and flying into my face. Luckily I had my big sunglasses on so none in the eyes but I was pulling them out of my hair and out of my top for about an hour afterwards!! Gross. And I ate perhaps a hundred blackberries. They are just ripening at the moment, although some were still a bit hard and bitter.

Anyway, this place has a pool, sauna, steam room, gym and tennis court, plus nice shampoos and, as I said, complimentary towels and robes. And it never gets busy because they limit the membership so you don't have to queue for the machines. I'm not really a gym type person at all so this is the sort, if any, that could change me around on that. They also do facials but that's extra. Tempting though.

So we're out tonight to celebrate my friends' engagement then I'm working tomorrow morning. If it is really quiet I will write some more of the honeymoon story.
