I booked two and a half days off next month - so I could go for an extended weekend holiday with my Mum and my sisters, probably the last time the 4 of us will be able to go away together.
The Tuesday Ballroom classes on Tuesday have been mostly used to teach and revise the paso. At the end of month social this time there were fewer mistakes.
Line Dancing continues on Wednesday with my sister her friend and I going to the 2nd Saturday social, this was followed on Sunday with my sister & I going for a tea dance at Herstmonceux castle. We both had a good time (& even managed to get her to try a quickstep).
Saw my GP as I'd had an ongoing cough since the beginning of the year, (this is a known side effect of my blood pressure medication). She checked my BP and it was in "normal" range so said I could stop the BP capsules.
But to be on the safe side I should also get a chest x-ray, (which I did a week later). My follow up appointment indicated no issues in that regard. Got this year's Flu jab, caused me to be slightly under the weather for a couple of days.
Also had a chip off a tooth which required filling, so needed an x-ray first (so I got 2 x-rays on the same day).
Got a refund of 8.33% of my season ticket - due to ongoing issues on the various rail lines. This is in addition to the delay repay refunds when any train is more than 15 min late.
I actually finished the SF Book Club book "Way Station by Clifford D Simak" just before the meeting started, but it still counts.
Continue to have Skype video conversation with D on Thursday evenings, we are really living in an SF world!
Virgin have been digging up the pavement around BH over the last few months, laying fibre cable. I got a letter from them to let me know they are intending to lay this past my house and might impinge my access.
Took a day off so that I could attend the Worthing Beer & Cider Festival, in the Assembly Hall, I'm not a big drinker but it was interesting to sample 6 different beverages in 1/3 pint portions.
On Halloween at work we had the option to dress down (and donate to charity) or up (and wear costume). For the first time as a adult I dressed up for Halloween - as one of the Men in Black!
Line dancing that night was also costume optional, so I stayed in character. There were 7 witch costumes, one magician and me.

Saw Star Wars: Solo at the cinema, pretty good heist movie, got mugged by a seagull for my sausage & chips on way home! My sister's mother-in-law died, she had been in hospital for some time so not unexpected but... She was a lovely lady.
Continued with ballroom dance classes on Tuesday, and line dancing class on Wednesday. On the second Saturday my sister, a friend of her's, and I went to a line dance social (run by my teacher) first I'd been to. We had a good time despite the heat (the hall has air con). At the end of the month I went ballroom dancing social with J.
Got confirmation that my work grade was increasing from Band 3 to Band 4 backdated to December. If this will translate into any extra cash, I will find out in my August pay cheque!
Ordered a CD (& Free download) of Jenny - The Doctor's Daughter, from Big Finish, back in November, it arrived on day of publication this month.
The SF Book Club discussed The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet by Becky Chambers, which I'd read previously, and re-read especially for the club.
D & I are using Skype video to chat every week (usually on Thursday) as he has hardly anyone else to talk to, we probably talk more than when we shared a house!
Saw two circus style performances in the Pavilion Theatre Worthing; 8 Songs, and Block, fascinating performances, if a little short!
