And it’s patently factually incorrect. There are plenty of staff. Their issue is poverty wages and rock bottom working conditions. And it’s a shit job.
Pretty much why I stopped swimming. £6 to get annoyed at lane etiquette and then suddenly have to swim in widths because aqua aerobics is today and reception forgot to mention it.
Haven’t used a pool since 2017. Swim seasonally outside. 20 mins drive to favourite spot. Figure prob costs as much petrol wise overall as £5 a swim or whatever it is every time (pool’s been shut for refurb since march 2020 ) and it’s a much more pleasurable experience
Ahhh after all that talk the other day of wedding rings I’ve lost mine!
I’m 95% certain I took it off in the house last night before I went for a swim. But it’s not in any of the usual places I’d leave it. Can’t find it anywhere, but I’m hoping it’ll turn up.
Thing is, after wearing it pretty much constantly for the past 10 years it feels super weird not being there.
Leisure facilities and cost is not something I can rant about. £34 per month for the family package. Includes access to any center in the Highlands for swim, gym, health suite and some classes. Bargain! Inverness has a separate competition pool which is fully laned all day and minimum age limit so no kids or busy lanes to worry about either. Just a shame it’s an hour round trip before any swim time.
Blimmin hate the Garmin incident alert thing. It’s way too sensitive to u-turns.
Obviously I get Mr’s alerts. Had 1 this morning. Logged on to the track of ride into work and all it is, is a u-turn cos he’s gone down the wrong road. Makes you panic every time though.
1st one is lying in the Med off Kourtaki in Greece - slipped off when windsurfing.
2nd one is in an Alpine stream by now - slipped off when I slid on a glacier nose when crossing it. Put my hand down to stop myself and the crusty ice pulled it off.
I used to ensure mine was oversized as you could guarantee that when I was playing rugby my knuckles would get damaged and swell for months on end so you could never get the ring off or on (it’s illegal to play rugby wearing rings). That’s why the buggers slipped off outside playing season and after retiring!
