Time for dancing, music and walking...

The past week has been lovely, I have been mostly in Fenham catching up with friends, getting out and about walking and sorting my space. My room is gleaming and feels like a colourful bubble. Nearly thirty years in time and special people are held in this space with pictures, books and trinkets, the small details that create a sense of being home.
Yesterday my lovely house mate CM was excited to get a new fitness d.v.d, the 'Tracy Anderson' method trainer to Madonna and Gwyneth Paltro. The woman herself is this amazingly spelt, super fit dancer. We spent half an hour leaping and jumping around, trying to follow the intense speed of Anderson's precision and failing ! it was easy to see how this woman kept so incredibly fit and she hadn't even broken a sweat! We just about managed not to bump into each other, so after a lot of laughing, we decided, to move the room around to create some space and to take this woman's choreographed routines at our own speed, (she only goes through it twice its obviously for dancers because straight after that its at double speed!!) We pretty much mastered the first dance combo, and had lots of fun doing it 11 more dance combo's to go!
Are plan is to practice then when were confident we can leap into routines in clubs! Ha, not that we go to many clubs, but hey we might shake our stuff at the Star and Shadow one night if we get enough routines down.
Today has mostly been about sorting through all the C.d's I own and putting the ones that I still like listening to on to laptop and syncing to my i pod. I then went on a big walk through the moor near my house and on an hour long trip through nostalgia. Brilliant, I am also finding whilst I have time on my hands that I'm discovering nooks and cranny's of Newcastle and creating maps in my mind of how everything links up.
It seems everyone has a dog or a baby, or maybe that's just my desire blinkering my focus.
I'm meeting a lovely friend for a curry tonight, good for the belly, the mind and the soul!
Found out a couple of advantages of being on the dole last night, Fenham pool and Tyneside cinema both for a pound in the week! How good is that. Going to see Black Swan this weekend with my house mates, It looks very dark and dramatic, can't wait!
