Keeping fit is wearing me out!


Winifred,I don't think I'll be able to keep it up for a year like you.  It's not just the physical activities, but the changing of clothes and having showers all the time that I'm finding hard.  (Not to mention hanging onto our heads so the Muslims won't chop them off, as they're threatening to do to random Sydneysiders.  But since Hornsby Heights is as far as is possible away from the city centre, we might be lucky up here.)

I took these pics at the centre earlier this afternoon, at my second Zumba session.  As you can see, it is beautiful.  There has never been more than one other person in my slow lane in the outside pool, whatever time I've been.  (They really need to have a Painfully Slow lane for me.) The view from the west side is absolutely glorious - tree tops in the valley seen through a glass wall.

The last two pictures could be side-by-side.  They show the interior, with the pool at the bottom closed due to 'contamination'.  'Baby poo' in other words.  Oh, yuk!!!

It's quite possible for you to hear the music in UK - thank goodness it still is United - as we prance around.  Would somebody please explain to me why the noise level must be at maximum?  Seems it's the same for you, too, Winifred.  Don't know how long before it will drive me away.  I'm told the neighbours within a hundred-mile radius are complaining.

These pictures are amazing and as you say it is almost empty. It is like the one in Bath but the water is sourced from the hot springs the Romans discovered. The pool I attend is just like one large pool which is the same depth throughout so you can put your feet on the floor at any end. I love that. I then use the steam room for a moment or two and lastly the hot jacuzzi then comes the effort of showering and getting my clothes back on before coffee - now as you say dressing is the greatest effort of the morning. x
