the dancing queen

Back at my gym for people with dicky tickers and lousy lungs, for the first time in a couple of months.  

Today turned out to be the birthday of J, one of our exercise instructors. Before she trained in rehabilitation exercise, she used to be a dancer in musical theatre on the West End stage in London.  Hence the tu-tu.

She's an amazing person - kind, funny and patient with those of us who've become slower - either through age or illness.  The West End's loss is our gain.
