What a difference a day makes

Better in large. Blipped from a spot very close to where I was standing yesterday. The weather is like a yoyo at the moment. The almond blossom has just managed to meet its deadline of being out in January. Extra: the view in the other direction, lovely clouds. 

This evening our gym group had a try out with a new local teacher. We got a good workout (I'm still recovering) but it was not entirely successful. The very young teacher did not adapt to our elderly bodies and, more worryingly, did all the exercises herself instead of observing us and correcting us when we were doing things wrong. At one point M saw that P was totally confused about what we were supposed to be doing, so she went over and put her limbs in the right positions ... teacher was oblivious! Plus the teacher had upped the price from her original proposition and wanted us to pay for the entire year (February-June) upfront to guarantee her income. 

The five of us who turned up had a good yak after she'd left, and it seems likely that since we have the room for free, we'll agree to a self-managed gym session to suit us, with no teacher.

After that I creaked back home and dined on leftover pizza and wine. Mystère had guineafowl :) And then I had a nice chat with S. Progress is being made; things are looking up.
