Fitness?

The travel card isn't the only 60+ benefit recently acquired... the local fitness centres also offer great discounts to us "oldies" so I've signed up for these too. A couple of "silver aerobics" classes have left me in no doubt of my un-fitness. Wonder if I have any muscles which AREN'T aching... Must try to persevere though - but hard to keep on walking to the classes when I can get a free bus ride!!

The card arrives

So... I'm now the owner of a 60+ travel card, which means I can travel anywhere within London's zones 1-9  for free. I plan to make the most of it! It arrived on Saturday, and I immediately made sure it was working by getting a bus to do some shopping. Yesterday (Sunday) it was useful for me to travel home from a meeting at Blackfriars. The card cost me £10 and will have paid for itself after four more bus journeys. It's a photocard - with a horrible photo, taken quickly with my mobile phone so that I could apply for it on the opening day for applications. Still, I will keep it inside my old Oyster wallet so the photo won't be on display!!
Guess the car will be staying on the drive more often in future.
