I went to Aqua-aerobics for the first time tonight. It was really good fun and I now feel virtuous, but wiped out.
The woman leading the class, was insane and seemed to forget we were in water, and so unable to to double-beat kicks, but after the first five minutes I stopped worrying about it and did things at my own speed. I also stopped worry that the life guard was watching me and laughing at my pathetic attempts to keep my balance in the water. It did help that as I wasn't wearing my glasses I could see easily how everyone else was managing it.
I also discovered the disadvantage of being on the right hand side of the class, (ie the deep end) in that the class as a whole tended to drift to the right, meaning I was soon desperately trying to keep my head above water. My friends were OK, as they're all about a foot taller than me.
God knows how much pool water I swallowed.
A book you own that no one on your friends list does:
No Thankful Village by Chris Howells
A CD you own that no one on your friends list does:
President Bongo and the Democratic Republic of Phonque
A DVD/VHS tape you own that no one on your friends list does:
Um... Either BBC The Planets or the Importance of Being Earnest Anthony Asquith adaption. Although I wouldn't swear to either of those.
A place you've been that no one on your friends list has been:
Nunney Castle. As castles go - cute.
