Aqua Zumba

This evening I went to the very popular Aqua Zumba class at our local swimming pool. It took me two weeks to get booked into the class as you have to reserve it a week in advance and the class is booked up within a few hours. The clientele was rather different from the sporty looking types with whom I did aqua aerobics in Limnos - I know that I'm in no position to be judgemental but let's just say that I was not in the 5% fattest this time. In fact I was definitely in the 5% least fat. This did not make me feel good about myself, it made me feel appalled for the others. However the important thing was the class itself and that I did enjoy. The music was good and the workout was just what I was looking for, you could work as hard as you wanted and the instructor seemed to know what she was doing. So I enjoyed it and I will be back. I did feel nostalgic for Sally, my lovely fitness instructor in Limnos, and the beautiful fitness platform and outdoor pool though!
Jamie phoned when I got home and he was full of the joys. He is loving his placement at a GP practice and seems to be working with an excellent doctor who is teaching him lots. He was diagnosing patients and working at the baby clinic. It seems like no time since I was taking him to the baby clinic at our GP's. He makes lots of notes during the day and spends his evenings researching what he has seen. He has always said that he doesn't want to be a GP but he is really enjoying it so I wonder if he might change his mind. I think that he is also enjoying getting back into medicine after his year doing the BMSc.
