Backstory: My Gran is 83 years old and has just taken it upon herself to get fit. Hence ‘gentle movement to music.’
I’ve to tell you about my new keep fit class. It’s called ‘Gentle Movement to Music’!! I thought it would be like my League of health & Beauty which I did years ago – sort of waltzing and waving our arms about and breathing etc….. NO We’re certainly moving to music – but it’s MODERN music and we’ve to do movements like ‘The Shadows’ only fast and move
in boxes and back and forth and our arms side to side and up and down AND try to breathe at the same time !!!
Oh lord – I was sweating something awful (and I don’t sweat) The teacher is a wee slim thing and moves about like a snake and, of course, I was trying to do the same ( HELP )
I’m knackered. I’ve got new trainers ( Nike ) and a new ‘ leisure suit’ – a vision of loveliness !!! But , as I told Mum, if you meet me you don’t even have to let on that you know me !!! My leisure suit is jade green and my trainers are bright white and pink – Mum says ‘Grannybal’s gone mental’
So British! LOL…Knackered and mum

I totally love your grandmother right now.
Also? I will be finding some friends to form a League of Health & Beauty IMMEDIATELY. It’ll be like the Justice League & the Junior League joined into one.

…I still couldn’t help by giggle at ‘knackered.’ XD

Very charming; thanks for sharing! When people say you’ve “gone mental” you know you’re on the right track :-)
