Minnie’s Musings

Best Beloved and I are making like the youth of today and visiting the gym together. Not so much a date night. More of a date afternoon squished in before the place is overrun by teenagers and small people soggy from swimming lessons.

I am peddling away in glorious silence as my ear buds haven’t charged. I am annoyed as I have had them plugged into my in car charger for several days. Modern technology? Pay!

Actually it isn’t glorious silence. They have some annoying beat box (or whatever) music going on and several groups of older teenagers are flirting over the weight machine thingies.

Whatever happened to getting into the pub with a cute smile at the doorman and sipping lager laced with lime for an hour or two while trying to catch the eye of some boy who is way more interested in she of the more artfully ripped jeans t’other side of the bar??

Best Beloved is doing some energetic jogging on the machine directly behind me. I don’t do energetic jogging. I do lackadaisical peddling in a sitting position because I keep slipping off the upright bicycle seat.

I have had a busy morning attempting to make a jelly set. I overdid the gelatine last night and created a lumpy mess. I think I have underdone it today as it was still swishing around in the pyramids rectangle thing I have carefully lined with cling film. A last minute dash to the shop to purchase another’s looks imminent.
