Friday, last session of Nordic Walking. Really hot day and great walking around the lake. Hope to see the trainer (Regula) sometime in the future at an organised walk.
Saturday, I got to the gym at Vevey by 10.00 a.m. - first visit in a week. It was a gloriously sunny day and the view from the Vevey funicular was magnificent as was the view from the cross trainer during the workout - snow peaked mountains and a glistening lake. Found a small fish restaurant in Vevey and had the most delicious Prawns in a Provebcal sauce with rice and salad - couldn't eat it all.
Jack went racing at Haydock Park and didn't back a winner all day - losing £75! I know he is a bit short of money however I declined his plucky request to contribute to his loses; when I said I wouldn't sub his day out at the races (do I look a mug?) he took it very well.
Next Man Utd manage to grab a draw out of the clutches of a comfortable win against Reading in the FA Cup - Carrick scored a good goal but in the end it was 1 - 1.
So to turn the tide of an average Saturday, early Sunday I once again headed for the gym at Vevey. Did the workout and then had a swim followed by a leisurely relax reading the Sunday Times - lounging by the pool. Then had a truly superb buffet lunch - just starters and dessert with 3dl of red wine. The "lunch" took three hours most of the time I was munching whilst reading the Sunday Times and then got into a conversation with a couple who arrange private Motor Rallies around Switzerland, France and Italy.
Thoroughly enjoyable day.
City beat Preston 3 -1 in the Cup so CT (who is in Manchester) is a very happy girl.
