I suppose I shouldn’t have been annoyed, but…

Went to the pool this afternoon for my usual nice, peaceful 20 lengths.
Only instead of the usual ‘adults only until 4 pm’ , for the summer it’s now ‘family swim’ from 2pm on Mondays, Weds. and Fridays.
So no peace. Screaming kids instead.
I only did 6 lengths.
In my defence I’ve only just had the 3 Gdcs staying for 4 days and nights, so a peaceful swim would have been particularly welcome.

Just to annoy me even more, there are only a very few cubicles at my David Lloyd (for anyone like me who doesn’t like communal changing) so instead of using one and putting their stuff in a locker, someone had left all her things in a cubicle, to ‘bag’ it.
Next time that happens, I will just stick all their stuff in a locker.🤬
I’m annoyed with myself that I didn’t just do that today.

I always think gearing everything around children in the school holidays is a bit like all my favourite programmes disappearing when there's football on.

I think I'd have taken their things and chucked them in the pool.

I avoid the pool in the school holidays. It's the only way. Mind you school classes use it during term time too so you can be really unlucky. 😕
