My MiL's visit is going nicely so far.

We went out for a drive Saturday, went for lunch at our favourite beach restaurant on Sunday, went to Whitley Bay for a drive on bank holiday Monday then went to see Corey where I got to hug the stuffing out of him. I'll just skirt over the morning where I sat on the wall outside the gym waiting for it to open, only to discover my branch doesn't open at all on bank holidays.

We drove to Sea Houses yesterday, which was another lovely sunny day. Then today was class and an afternoon at home, because as much as she complains she doesn't get out, it's obvious my MiL doesn't have the stamina to go out every day without some downtime.

Today, Rosie told us she's starting an exercise only class from next Monday, using the time slot we used to have. She asked if there was anything people wanted including, and I made the rookie error of saying nothing I wanted to be included, but no more walking lunges, please. Guess what she's decided to add, for sure? Honestly, I never learn.

James also got a cancellation for his back injections so he's getting those Saturday evening. Kayleigh is driving us there and back, then some recovery time and hopefully, he'll be back to work.

My SiL and her family are at a holiday camp close to the wildfire on the Yorkshire moors. They were supposed to be there until Friday, but are coming back today instead, taking the train as the main road is closed. They're going to stay with my SiL's partner's mam for a couple of days, then come home on Saturday. But I must admit, I'm kinda hoping that they come home Friday instead so we can drop off my MiL then and have a bit more breathing room on the Sat.

I'm glad the visit is going well! And that you've gotten out for drives and meals. (Especially meals, lol!)

The gym didn't put a sign up or anything?!!

Haha, you never learn!

I hope the injection goes well. (And the rest of the week.)

So many meals, and probably too much ice cream tbh.

Nope, no sign up at the gym at all. I did check opening times on the app as I assumed they'd be on Sunday opening due to the bank holiday, so getting there to a totally locked up building was a surprise. I guess they assume everyone knows they shut on bank holidays, and maybe the regulars do, but it was news to me.

You know, as soon as the words left my mouth I knew what Rosie was going to say in return. You're right, I do never learn.

One more day and two more nights of hosting to go. I'm on the home stretch! *g*

Since they're getting (or hoping to get) new members all the time, you'd think they'd make sure the newbies knew they were going to be closed. And maybe a reminder to the regulars who might not be thinking about it being a holiday. A sign on the door seems like the least they could do; they should've had a sign up even before the holiday, imo, as a reminder.

Have you checked for mirror!Rosie yet?!! *g*

Sounds like you're having a very good MiL visit. (The thought of you waiting in vain outside the gym makes me feel very sad for you though!)

Such a rookie error! If you had suggested something she might have forgotten about the lunges.

I hope James' injections is/will go well this evening.

It was a nice visit with my MiL. But not going to lie, I was still pleased to get my space back yesterday. 8 days is a long time to host.

On the plus side, bank holiday was lovely weather wise so I got a nice walk. But I did feel a bit silly sitting waiting with not a person there.

Honestly, I don't know what I was thinking mentioning the lunges. I know how her mind works by now.

His injections are done, so today will be a rest day, but hopefully, James will be feeling much better soon.
