November 2018
So first Thursday I went to the dentist to get my lower right front tooth be almost entirely replaced / filled with white composite filling. Much cheaper than a crown.
Continue to claim delay repay refunds for delayed travel, now can be credited to my Paypal account instead of eVoucher; which have to be used for rail travel.
Continued with Ballroom classes on Tuesdays with practice on Fridays, and a social on the last Saturday, and Line dancing class on Wednesdays
For the second weekend my Mum, both my sisters and I went for a Warner Break at Lakeside - Hayling Island. This was like a SF convention for Muggles!
On Thursday I started a cold ;-( but worked in the morning leaving at lunch time to pack for the w/e and to be collected by C in time for dinner before going to her line dance class - I did know most of the dances!
Arrived Friday afternoon, when there was light programming, Mum got a mobility scooter, which allowed her to move faster than the rest of us! The weather was less than optimal (frequently raining over the w/e)
but we did manage to walk to the eponymous Lakeside to see the ducks. We were allowed in to our chalets from 3:00 (I shared with C while Mum shared with H). C had been before so she took us on a tour of the facilities.
Dressed up (C & I coordinated out outfits all w/e) and after Bingo, Dinner was a 3 course meal, from a selection, followed by dancing to a live band - Central Park, C&I did a waltz and were the only people on the floor! followed by an entertainment by One Man Band Bruce Thompson,
some more dance music before off to bed (after slogging through the rain).
Saturday we all went in to breakfast at 8:00; once again able to choose from a range of menu items, I had cereal, followed by a Full English. This was followed by Hoy Bingo (using 9 playing cards for the bingo card), we won the 3rd game and £36!
C & I spent 50 min in the dance studio, practising line dances, had problems getting bluetooth speaker to work so just had sound from C's phone!
Then saw LA LA Land in the mini cinema, which finished just in time for C & I to join a jive workshop. I learned a few new steps. After I used the pool, sauna and steam room, to try to clear my cold.
Dressed up and then in for dinner at 6:30, another different 3 course dinner, with some dancing an a very average ABBA Tribute.
Remembrance Sunday - after breakfast (porridge, poached haddock, pancakes & yogurt - not all at once) Played Hoy bingo Mum & H had same last card - but didn't win this time. 2 minute silence at 11:00
Did some more dance practice in dance studio mostly line dances, but revised the jive we learned yesterday. Got bluetooth speaker to work.
Had a second dance workshop this time Cha Cha and learned "new routine"
All 4 of use played Rummikub - board / card game. Dressed for dinner again, another 3 courses! Dancing to Central Park the the excellent The Fallen Angels - A Tribute to Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, and then to bed
Monday had to pack before breakfast as rooms had to be empty by 10:00, had breakfast together - Full English then left 10:20, C took me directly home,
Photos of the weekend can be seen at my facebook page & my sisters fb page
Caught up watching all the Strictly Come Dancing incarnations I'd missed over the week end. Also Dr Who. Due to my cold, that it was raining, and that I hadn't finished the book, I didn't go to my monthly book club meeting.
Bought tickets for Christmas Line Dance social, - M saved me some tickets as they went on sale on the Saturday we were at Hayling Island, and went like hotcakes.
Had a power cut (at home) while I was at work, WiFi Router and Sky Box rebooted and had to be tweaked until they were working again.
Saw Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindlewald at the cinema, had the feel of the middle part of a trilogy. In the original Harry Potter sequence while each story added to the harry vs voldermort arc, each book / film was a complete story. This doesn't feel the same at all.
A very busy month, but next month may be even more busy!
