Very productive and totally lovely day.

I may have mentioned before ... I do like being retired.

 

It's been glorious here today. Bedding out on the line before I went to work at 8 am but I was home by 11 to sit on the balcony (well might as well enjoy it before it comes down!) and relax. Then a bit of scrapping, some very nice shopping and home again.

 

Days just evolve ... I love that!

 

Barb you asked if Nigel and I dance. That would be a huge NO! I do - he does not! I used to be a superb dancer and when I was 12 I was southern regional junior champion in Ballroom and Latin American. Then I smashed my leg to pieces ... long story ... and was in hospital for weeks and week, in plaster for months and had almost a year of physio and rehab. By the time I went back to dancing I was below average as I had lost so much ground (I used to dance 5 times a week and have three hours of additional lessons as well as the classes) With the typical stupidity of a 16 year old I said if I couldn't be the best again I wouldn't bother at all. Totally stupid and I regret it now. However, when we were reasonably newly married some good friends of ours started latin american classes and talked Nigel and I into going with them. Nigel has never danced and really and truly cannot dance at all - not even shuffling. So we went and the first class was the cha cha. He ended up collapsed int he middle of the floor rocking hysterically as he was so bad he thought it was incredibly funny. We didn't go back! So no - we don't dance. My Daddy was an amazing dancer and we used to go to a lot of dinner dances and balls with my parents and I would always dance with him. My Mom didn't really dance.

 

I have new scrapping to share today again ... another page made with Tiramisu's Tropical collection - Tigers this time.

 

 

Today I am thankful for

• new clothes
• Everything seeming more positive ... nothing is different ... just my mindset

 

And I have been surfing again - those of you know me well know how I love puns. These are different signs a restaurant in Texas displays - I love them!

I had to laugh at your description of Nigel's dancing. He must be Steve's "long-lost cousin." LOL!! :D
Steve had ballroom dancing lessons when he was a child-- I guess it was some kind of summer program for children. But the lessons obviously didn't take.
When our son was married five years ago, we tried to dance together to enjoy the festive occasion, but we were nearly knocking each other off our feet. We enjoyed watching everyone else glide around the dance floor the rest of the evening. ;-)
At least you and Nigel still have painting together as your "go-to" activity. :D
