ergh.

Is the noise I am officially making today as I have just looked at the clock and I am not at all sure how it has become lunch time.

I had such plans today - scrubbing the kitchen floor and hoovering through, hanging the laundry out (thwarted by rain), taking the bottles to be recycled, jumping in the shower and washing my hair.

Admittedly I have done the washing up and tidied some bedrooms, and put away the towels, but I have 30 minutes to do the rest then go do the other things i need to do today.

Some where in the day I have to get to ballet class too.

Here goes!!

Adult Ballet

I taught my first adult ballet class today - I really enjoyed it - I thought I would either feel really self conscious or would feel that I wasn't explaining enough or too much!

In the end I think I found the balance .

I wrote a lesson plan before hand - I even went back over it to ensure I knew it and that I was happy with it.

I taught to my plan using free music and I found that though most things I had listed were things I did want to do, I needed to change little bits or the way I had planned an exercise. I have just been over my lesson plan and written down the changes and I am going to read back through it and write a plan for next week!!! 

I really enjoyed my self and I hope they did too!! 

Right now an early night is in order, maybe after a soak in the tub - I have Advanced 1 tomorrow!

Thursday Afternoon

So I sit here, quietly in the garden, typing away and listening to the noise around.

In front of me I can see the houses on my row, blue, white and yellow, I can see Toby asleep in his pushchair after being sent home from the childminder with a nasty bug that has involved lots of being sick, If I turn my head to the right I can see my garden and beyond that a row of houses, cream, terracotta and white, behind them I can see trees, a yellow tinged wilow and a huge red maple, then the clear blue sky.

I can hear a plane, but i can't see it, I can hear my neighbour washing up, the leaves swishing and rustling gently in the breeze that makes the heat bearable. There is a dog barking , it seems he is being walked as he is fading now.

 I can hear sirens, and cars.

I wish I couldn't - my house is in the middle of the city and quiet, still moments make you forget.

More ballet

I am working super hard again, preparing to take the exam I failed again! I have 20 days - I have a lovely new leotard, which matches my green floaty skirt, I have a brain full of steps, and I have my focus.

I can sing many songs in a tra la la, dum diddle dee sort of way, and I can tell Mr colin exactly what sort of music I want. I am dancing pretty much every day except sunday and I am loving it - I feel like I am sixteen except some naughty person has come along and pinched my skinny bits and replaced them with wobbly bits!!

I am feeling positive and happy and quite looking forward to it - even if muscles I forgot I have are starting to ache!

I shall try and keep this blog slightly more informed again!!
