Quick Catch Up

First apologies yet again for going quiet but as you will see have been busy editing videos. Second has anyone else ended up on the blue screen to write a new post I don’t like it and want my normal one back.

This weekend saw our first event with our new work charity partner, this year the Huddersfield Down Syndrome Support Group get our support and a great day was had by all but you don’t have to take my word for it watch the video I shall post at the end of this post.

I also got to collect my T-Shirts that were my reward for pledging as part of a Kickstarter to save one of our local shops, I was guilty of one of the greatest crimes effecting small businesses, apathy, I always assumed the shop would be there, I would see something I liked but put it off for the next payday, luckily our shop was saved and hopefully we have all learnt that very important lesson “Use it or Lose it!” For my Tees I got one Doctor Who one and another which I designed from the Charity Anthology cover…

And yes I know after a weekend in a bag I should have ironed them before taking the pictures lol

A quiet week this week for me playing catch up with writing and house work before getting excited for the athletics next week!

A - Z Challenge 2014

A to Z Challenge 2014 – B is for Belly Dancing

Belly dancing? I can imagine the perplexed looks crossing your faces trying to work out the connection between a writing blog and wiggling about.

Well the truth is from next week yours truly is going to be giving the belly dancing a go!

As you all know I am determined to lose weight and get fitter however with my back I need to build up slowly and avoid diving in with high impact work outs. A friend of mine has been trying to persuade me to go along and give the belly dancing a go for a while now and after a brief attempt at Zumba on the Wii I decided I had nothing to lose but potentially a lot to gain.

I love dancing but at the minute I just can’t take the strain of a vigorous Zumba work out, belly dancing will be gentler and put less strain on my joints until I get some more weight off and more importantly should be great fun to do.

Now obviously I will do everything I can to avoid any evidence of me shaking anything until only the bits I want to wobble do. I will live in hope of ending up being able to move like one of the most famous hip shakers out there once again.
