Still Aching!
Well if you've already read Sam's blog, you will know she had us on a staff training event on Friday with Rob Green trying our hand at Parkour I wasn't really sure what to expect especially being our first attempt at it but Rob soon had us all warmed up and rolling onto the floor in safe landing positions, jumping over hurdles and running up walls. It was a great team building session as we had plenty of laughs watching each other run like mad at the obstacle either to run into it, half land on it and roll off or sort of get over it and disappear down the other side in some sort of heap. After a few attempts though we were all pretty much there and flying over the box and up the wall. I felt quite invigorated from it ...then I sat down when I got in and realised that maybe I wasn't as fit as I thought. My back was aching and my right knee had a very slight twinge. Turning up at the studio on Saturday morning and comparing notes with Sam, Jo and Mia we all were feeling the after effects and Sam also had a strap on her right knee! It's Sunday morning now and my back still hurts and my left shin is now aching! Still really enjoyed the session - thanks Sam.
As mentioned I was in the studio Saturday morning to take the second part of a hen party. We had a great time as we learnt some of the Ashanti routine I have done with some of you. Sue and I were then putting the gentlemen from Raffles through their paces. I've been choreographing the Full Monty routine for them along with Sue's expert help and advice of how to take articles of clothing off. We are getting there but need a few more rehearsals to get the routine a bit more slick and in time!! Still the guys are doing a great job and Sue & i are having fun working with them. They will be performing at Raffles to raise money for St Lukes on Sunday 27th July from 8pm - hope to see some of you there.
The art of dance have a busy week that week as some of the staff will be performing at Raffles on the Thursday evening, (I'm teaching that night but might pop in and say hi after classes if you've not all worn me out!!) we are off watching Flash Dance on the Friday evening, there is a pole Jam on the Saturday 26th from 12noon-4pm, we are performing at the Devon Car show on the Sunday and then the Full Monty on Sunday evening. Check out the events pages for full details of what we have lined up - going to be a good, fun but tiring week. I'll have also been to Gatwick for work on the Tuesday so that usually means I get about 3 hours sleep on the Monday night and spend about 10hours or so on the train for the day - not looking forward to that as it takes me all week to recover!
I've had the decorators in this week and they'll be back to finish off next week. I'm having a radiator moved to free up one of our walls and getting some of the dodgy electrics sorted out. There are some real bodgit DIY jobs that we are discovering. When my plumber went to fix the new radiator to the wall all the plaster just fell off to reveal lovely art deco type wall effect. Seems that the plaster had just been slapped on the top and not sealed so as soon as you touched it, it all came down. As it's behind a door we'd not had a need to use the wall so hadn't discovered the problem til now. There is also a blank plate where the light switch should be in the living room and we've discovered that the whole cable has been ripped out rather then just isolating the switch so we will need to run a whole new cable in which means taking floor boards up. Think we'll live with it a while longer til we look at doing upstairs. Hopefully when these are done we'll get the room looking nicer and I'll look to get new carpets for the living and dining room.
I've been having a fairly quiet weekend so far (mainly because of my aching muscles) which will continue this afternoon. Steve & I are thinking of going to see Hancock tonight - which I will enjoy as I'm a bit partial to Will Smith - although of course he isn't a patch on Steve. It will be a good excuse to pig out on popcorn and sweets which will be just as well as I'll need all the energy for my busy week ahead. As well as the day job, I'm teaching in Exeter on Monday, back in the Plymouth studio for my normal Thursday and I'm taking the class on Friday night this week and a hen party Saturday morning.
Hope to see some of you during the week. Have fun til then.
