Jess' Journey

[m-mouse]

Ah not saying I didn't enjoy it - it makes a nice change - I just struggled to keep up with the steps!!

Oh no! I don't believe that he has laryngitis! Whilst I'm awfully sorry for the poor man, I do hope they don't cancel many more shows.

Although I'm not actually a fan, I've got a ticket to go along with my friend's daughter - who adores them and nobody else would go with her. She'll be incredibly disappointed and is travelling here especially to see them, despite still recovering from a major op.

I just hope that he's drinking plenty of lemon juice and brandy!

I'm going to have to dig out a CD and have some of their music on my Ipod now to sing to on the way to work... (I do of course know every word to every song I like )

Oh Mouse! I can't imagine attempting ANY form of exercise in front of anyone! That's probably why I stick to my power walk when everyone else is asleep! haaa!

 

[m-mouse]

It's bad enough at my pilates class as the numbers are so small but at least someone else has just started who is worse than me

 

[Maintainer]

I hope you point her out to everyone...

 

[m-mouse]

Well seeing as how you mention it yes, I have constructed a big plyboard arrow to point at her, which says 'look at her not me'. It doesn't help that I am the youngest in the class by about 90 years

<stop it! you're cracking me up here!!!>

 

[m-mouse]

- you think I'm joking?

 

[m-mouse]

The worst thing was two weeks ago when the teacher came up to me and said 'ooh we're wearing the same trousers' - like I really wanted her to point that out, with her non existent everything!!!

I used to be a gym member here. I never went to the gym, mind, just joined for the pool, hammam, jacuzzi etc. The trouble is that, in France, people aren't seemingly very self conscious so, when I looked for individual changing rooms, I couldn't find any - so took my swimming costume into a tiny loo to get changed. On my way to the pool, I passed through the showers where lots of NEKKED ladies were showering and soaping themselves.

Blushing furiously I did my swimming, vowed to get dressed over my WET costume and shower when I got home (but did then pluck up courage to get changed under my towel like a real wuss but no way was I streaking to "those" open showers! no doors even. Just row of shower attachments! aaaah!).

While getting dressed, keeping my eyes low, I saw a NEKKED girl standing in front of a full length mirror blow drying her hair!

French gyms are not for me

Although I am less prudish now than I was then... you have to be over here!

 

[m-mouse]

Oh Jo - it sounds like you have to be a lot less prudish when you have talked on her in the past about French doc appointments!! Saying that there is one doc in our practice that I don't ever go and see nay more - as she always does the same thing to me - not nice and some kind of fetish I fear

 

[soshbfly]

Oh my goodness Joanne - I don't know if I'd know which way to look! Wouldn't say I'm a prude but not sure how to respond to total "overt" nakedness. Especially as the French are known for... how do I say this??? ...em ..an abundance of hair? Don't know which would make me more uncomfortable - a bunch of naked French ladies or a bunch of hairy armpits!!

 

[m-mouse]

Eugh! Sorry Jess by the way - we've been making ourselves at home in here this afternoon!

 

[Maintainer]

haaaaa!! Jess knows she's well integrated now that we've made ourselves comfy in her diary!!!

<you can clear up the mess though Mouse!>

oooh yes, Jess... since I've lived here, I must admit that I've seen much improvement on the old hygiene front... but it really did used to be bad!

 

[m-mouse]

Bloody hell - it's always me - still Vicky swears by a bit of housework for losing weight

 

[soshbfly]

All are welcome - stay as long as you'd like... you're cracking me up!!

 

[Maintainer]

ooooh good...

Mouse. Go on. Tell us what that doctor does to you... Surely it can't be worse than that French gynaecologist I saw here who knelt before me and switched the light of his miner's cap on...

 

[missfortissimo]

1. Love Duran Duran! Pity they had to cancel their concert!

2. I have to admit... I have showered naked amongst a bunch of sweet elderly women who were also naked. At the YMCA (American gym). But I would not EVER EVER EVER shower amongst girls my own age. Is that weird?

 

[m-mouse]

Ooh it's bad and it got the point that it felt like she did it whatever complaint I presented with - maybe she was trying to get rid of me - it sure worked!!

Aaah, you Midwestern girls!! No, not weird at all. I will go swimming at any beach or pool with a bunch of strangers, but absolutely will not don a swimsuit at my own gym because I know far too many people. Should be the opposite - I mean the folks that know me already like me, what do I think... that they'll not want to be friends because I have too much cellulite and my legs are as white as sheets??? Me thinks we're all a bit weird sometimes !

PS - I'm hoping for a reschedule as I'm a huge Duranie and never miss a concert - seriously can't even count how many times I've seen them (followed them on tour in my youth when I was a bit of wild child!!)
