What a difference a day makes!

Had a magic time tonight, such a contrast to yesterday, plus I invented a fun new move you should all try!

Also, your chance to say whether a laughing partner is good or bad...

(BTW, I just want to thank all the other cool people who've left comments on my blog. I really appreciate your encouragement. Cheers!)

In case you haven't been following other threads you'll have maybe missed a few posts on my blog.

Tonight I've posted about my triumphant (??) return to JJ's after a break of a week.

Read all about it!

It's time again for you to catch up with my blog.

Since we last met, I've had mixed fortunes which just kept giving.

Then this last week I've continued in my late habits, which resulted in a very mixed Wednesday when I missed out real bad, but it worked out real good in the end.

On Thursday I was reminded of Gregory's Girl.

Most recently I have recounted the totally awesome day I had yesterday, with a second part reliving the agony and ecstasy of dancing.

Hope you enjoy reading my ramblings, and if you do, please leave a comment.

(and you might even get a reply when I have some more time! )

I’ve discovered a great way to get asked to dance at JJ’s, but I’m not going to divulge my secret, but I got asked loads more this week than last.

Divulge, divulge....

[ducasi]

Divulge, divulge....

OK, I'll see if I can do a bit of an experiment this Tuesday and if it works out, I'll report my findings on my blog.

[ducasi]

Something for everyone on last night's experiments...

More about that particular experiment if I get time later today.

Tired and unemotional tonight, but it was a weird night – one that brought no spare women!!!

(500th post!!!! Woo-hoo!!!!! Where's my present? Is there a cake? No cake??? )

[ducasi]

Couple of new posts...

On Tuesday I took a wee trip to Stirling.

Yesterday I had some nasty things to say about a beginner () and wondered where all the women have gone...

Comments on my blog or if you prefer here are very welcome...

[ducasi]

So much has happened!!!

At the weekend I had a really fab trip to Inverness where Franck is starting a new class.

On Monday night I watched Dirty Dancing and was a little disappointed.

On Tuesday night it felt like ages since I had been to JJ's, but I had a great time! Maybe it was the cool tunes, or the rather fine teacher who had come visiting us from Aberdeen.

On Wednesday night I went to the GUU where I decided that in future all lady Ceroc dancers should be made to wear swirly skirts!

Comments, as always welcome. Next update expected Sunday night...

Comments, as always welcome. Next update expected Sunday night...

It's been a weird week so-far...

On Sunday I attended a mega workshop which tried to teach me lots and lots of things. I had a really good time, but it was very hard.

Then through the week, on Tuesday, and yesterday, I found my brain had stopped working and things kept going bad.

Lots of other stuff was happening, but you'll have to read the posts to find out more...

(And maybe, please, can I have a few more comments so I know that the people reading my nonsense just haven't arrived there by mistake! )

[ducasi]

Fantastic week last week!!!!

On Tuesday I was in demand for dances – perhaps because of my new shoes?

(Photo of shoe(s) is here, amongst some glowing tributes to them. )

Wednesday was a storming night where I got challenged on my musicality.

The party on Saturday was just the best ever.

I just love dancing!

[ducasi]

It's catch up time!

Wa-a-ay back, last Tuesday, we had guest teachers again... That was fun!

But the day after we had no teacher at all!

Last Saturday I went to a wee party, and had the time of my life!

On to this week...

On Tuesday I celebrated 6 months of dancing!!!

Last night I was just tired, but I had a good time anyway, and managed not to drop anyone on the floor (but only just. )

Next update will probably be in the wee hours of Sunday morning, assuming I can get a lift to and from Edinburgh...

Cheers guys, and thanks for reading and posting comments!

Updated this post to have the move descriptions and correct names (thanks Danielle!) and a description of how I didn't drop anyone...

Oh, and I've got a lift arranged for Edinburgh, so see you there!!!

Also! I've replied to some comments...

Hi Guys,

It's been almost a full month since I posted here, but that doesn't mean either me or my blog have been idle.

I've been to my first full Edinburgh party, where I met killingtime and The Long One and danced to some surprising tunes...

A not-so-great night at JJ's when I had a sore ankle.

Then I went on my Grand Tour, but I've already posted links to my blog entries about it...

I posted a post-mortem on my blog, but also on the forum for discussion.

After my Grand Tour finished with a party then workshop, last week I was a bit danced-out, so last Tuesday at JJ's I was dancing really bad, but perfected my technique for getting asked to dance as a result...

Last Thursday I went back to Rutherglen for the Ceroc Plus class, and learnt my second dip. Still was a bit worn out though...

After my first non-dancing weekend in about 6 weeks, I've had a good week this week.

On Tuesday, at JJ's I felt that my musicality had received a big boost.

On Wednesday I was back at the GUU for my first class-night there in about a month. And again, I had a really good musical night, though I found out I may be a "doom-doom", rather than a "shoogy-shoog". I'm still not sure though...

Last night I made it three in a row at Rutherglen, but my feet were sore, and I was tired, and so didn't have my best night...

Got to thank everybody for dropping by and checking out all my random thoughts, and maybe even contributing their own random comments.

Hope to see lots of you in Edinburgh tomorrow!
