Don't laugh....

So. I decided to take up something that I used to do again. And I know I'm now much older....and larger...and more unfit...but....

I've decided to take an adult ballet class (stop sniggering).

I started ballet at the tender age of 4, and kept it up until I was 14, at which point the pressures of secondary school and my growing dislike of the intensity of the classes got to me. It was just too intense, and the teachers scared me....

But, quite quickly after stopping (and given that at the time I was still riding every day and playing hockey as well) I noticed I'd lost a lot of muscle tone and control.

And now 6 years down the line I don't do any other sports either (gammy knees). And I was thinking about it, and I kind of miss dancing.

So, I'm going to brave it. I am very lucky that there is actually a place where they do adult ballet classes here at uni, I don't think they're that easy to find back in Irl.

I'm in the beginners class...*sigh* lets hope I can move up to improvers......

Doesn't start till after Easter, but I'm already excited! Wish me luck!

Don't think I'll quite look like this though..... I guess it'll take time ;)

Private Practice

Sucks! Its a far cry from Grey's. And we all know, Grey's isn't exactly the most factually-based medically accurate show out there. But Private Practice just takes silliness to a whole new level. Addison has completely lost her hard-ass surgeon role, and gone all fluffy round the edges. And doing a c-section out of theatre with acupuncture as anaesthetic? In L.A? C'mon producers, how stupid do you think we are?

That said, I'm sure I will be following the series avidly, I can't resist a medical soap, no matter how dumb.

I think....

That someone is tap-dancing on my ceiling...... That's what it sounds like anyway....

London Baby!!!

I have the whole day free tomorrow, so I am going to take advantage of this and head down to the bright lights to see V, who I miss terribly!!!



And maybe even....oh the excitement.......ROLLER DISCO!!!!!

I don't think I'll be looking quite like the above though.

Fingers x'd!

Hmm.....

You Are: 50% Dog, 50% Cat

You are a nice blend of cat and dog. You're playful but not too needy. And you're friendly but careful. And while you have your moody moments, you're too happy to stay upset for long.

Are You More Cat or Dog?
