Back in the pool...

Well... at long last I feel settled enough here in Canada and in our new house to join the local gym. David Lloyd it ain't! It's a bit dated; changing rooms and shower facilities are basic and there's no 'bistro' for a drink or lunch pit-stop (as you do!) BUT the pool is clean, has lanes for laps and has been fairly empty every time I've been, so that's a good thing. I guess I've been spoilt in the past with the lovely clubs that I have belonged to. They must have them here in Canada just not in Simcoe!

Other than that, purchased some FitFlop suede clogs for schlapping around the house, which are every bit as back-friendly and comfy as their flip-flops. Would recommend. And in the same week purchased some Uggs for the extreme weather, which are lovely and toasty but deffo NOT back friendly! Way way too flat - ended up with really bad leg pain yesterday after wearing them for just a couple of hours. Would not recommended for fellow spineys as a walking boot for the winter season. Suggest you try Merrell or Sorel boots for warmth and support - both of which I can highly recommend.
