There's nothing quite like the strident thumping of disco music, the calm, confident but insistent voice of the instructor, and a pool full of women. Yes, welcome to Aquarobics. It is S's first class this evening and she is doing it with Sy and An. They are about 15 minutes into the class and they seem to be going very well so far ... and, and this is a good recommendation for people watching from the sidelines, they do seem to be enjoying it. The question is, will they be able to move tomorrow after their work-out in the pool this evening! One of the most amazing things for me to see here is that there are so many things you can do in the water with a pool noodle - including sitting on it ... and even that comes in more than one variety. It's almost the end of the hour now and while we've just had a change of music - it still has a disco beat - but different, and it's now time for stretching exercise before people get out of the pool.
A good bit of the Gold Coast has now had power restored although there are pockets still without it. Surprisingly, D and C and the children, in Brisbane, have been without power for most of the week, and are still waiting on Energex to come and fix the lines damaged by their neighbour's tree. They have given a revised ETA of 1:30pm Friday - and D is not happy about this ... although she is grateful that friends have been cooking dinners, making kids lunches, and even offering to iron uniforms to help them out!
It was Bingo today and even though E is away, M and S went. After that, and lunch, S took herself off to the Southport Library, and I picked her up from there to bring her to the pool (via Zarraffas for a cup of coffee ... it is the afternoon afterall!)
