It was very much a Monday yesterday.

Went to the gym and was waving my phone at the scanner to get in, and each time I tried the door, was denied access. At which point, the receptionist pointed out my phone was the wrong way around, and I was scanning myself.

Then the lady from class I know came over for a chat as I was cooling down on the recumbent bike, and because I was distracted I missed the workout finished screen so didn't get to scan and log it. 40 tracked minutes, gone!

Good thing though, Kayleigh and Lucy are thinking about joining the gym, and if they say I referred them I'll get two free months on my account which will be a big help.

We've been to the cinema three times since I last posted, The Ballad of Wallis Island, was much better than I expected. Jurassic World Rebirth was entertaining enough, though had a very flimsy plot, and then Superman, which I loved! With Superdog being a highlight ♥

Sadly, the cinema etiquette for Superman was the worst I've seen for a while, with three girls in the row in front snap chatting and talking throughout, while the young couple on the couch next to mine were very irritating, loudly smacking kisses on each other, the girl getting up three different times for food, then dropped something so that they were both scrabbling around on the floor, and at one point, the guy actually vaped in his seat.

But this was balanced out by the young boy and his dad on the couch, the other side of us. I was a bit dubious if he'd last the whole film, but he was entranced the whole way through, exclaiming out loud with excitement at various points, which is noise I don't mind at all.

I was thrilled to see that Ted Lasso season four is filming, though am sad that it seems some of the main cast won't be appearing. I guess it makes sense if they're going to focus on the ladies team, but I do hope some missing cast do pop up on occasions. Especially Jamie, though if he doesn't, in my mind, he's still happily living with Keeley and Roy.

Of course, this led me to want another series rewatch, but as I can't, instead I've been watching a Jamie fanvid I love as it shows his character growth beautifully. It was misbegotten who linked me to it, and since then I've watched lots.

I laughed at the image of you scanning yourself with your phone :D

[turps]

I'm sure the receptionist was laughing inside when she pointed out my mistake *g*

I love Ted Lasso, and that is a really delightful vid of Jamie.

[turps]

I love the video a lot. It really does show Jamie's growth over the seasons. He changed so much, and sometimes I forget what a dick he actually was in season one.

I also had to chuckle at you scanning yourself. *bg*

That sucks about not being able to record your minutes on the bike. But very cool if you do get two free months!

OMG, those people in the theater sound so annoying! Why are people like that?

[turps]

I can't believe I was scanning myself. The woman watching must have thought I was an idiot *g*

I hope I do get the two free months. As of now, Kayleigh and Lucy still haven't signed, but have promised to give my name if they do.

So annoying! To give some credit to the girls in front, they did shut up when someone finally shushed them and cleaned away all of their rubbish at the end of the film. The couple next to me not so much, they just stood and strolled off, leaving popcorn, pop cups, hot dog wrappers, everything behind.

Ha! Scanning yourself sounds like something I would do! Last November, when I fell and hurt my leg, my brother and I decided to go down to the pool, so I could soak my leg (only- we didn't bring suits as we planned to stay at the VRBO, which had a water hearter fail in the attich, causing water to come raining down through the attic access, and every light fixture, which is how I fell... all the water on the stairs). We went down to the pool and I'm trying to use my room card everywhere... just waving it all around the gate. After a couple of minutes, we were fortunate that a maintenance guy saw us and showed us that you just reach over the gate and flip a latch... no scanning at all! LOL I'd just never been to a place that you didn't use a card to access the outside pool area!

That sucks you lost your time, but you still get the benefits of your work! That would be wonderful to have them join up, especially if it gives you free time! And maybe you can work out together if you want to.

Ugh! Reminds me why I don't go to movie theaters anymore. I figure it all winds up on a streaming service at some point.

LoL. I would have been caught out too. Glad it's not just me doing scanning mishaps *g*

It was such terrible behaviour. The worst I'd seen at the cinema.

I giggled when I read about your self-scanning. Missing to log your long workout totally sucks though! I hope they do join so you can get those referral months *keeps fingers crossed*

People who behaves like that in a movie theatre should totally be tossed out!

I still can't believe I was doing that!

Well, I was a bit frustrated with Lucy and Kayleigh as they did both join but did it online so I didn't get the credit. It would have been such a bonus, too.
