Music and movement
I've just discovered that the gym I go to will be holding classes in capoeira soon. It's something I thought about taking up an age ago (well a year or two back at least). I didn't get around to doing anything about it then, but since fortune has been kind enough to grant another chance it would be remiss of me to pass up the opportunity.
Part of the appeal, I think, is that I simply like that idea of learning how to move. There's a grace and beauty in the movement of a human body that I've taken for granted, and which I'm sure my daily movements fail to reflect. Time to fix that - and if capoeira doesn't work, there's always tap dance lessons, right?. I also like the idea of learning new skills as well, if only to prove to myself that I'm not stagnating.
Thinking about it now, there are several more things I could stand with learning - I may set myself a challenge of learning a new skill each year and see how far I get.
Perhaps next year I'll try singing.
And then a musical instrument.
And then...?

My word... I've heard of capoeira, and I'm quite impressed that your gym will be teaching it. It sounds like a VERY nice martial art - I'd be fascinated to see a demo some day :-)
Oh, and could you give me a little heads-up when you start the singing lessons. Hmm? Why? Oh, no reason...

In the office today: Rosie, one of the researchers, started prodding her cheek. 'Ow,' she muttered. I raised an eyebrow. 'I got kicked in the face last night,' she continued, 'Lifted off my feet. But there wasn't any concussion, for a change.'
Capoeira lessons, Mondays and Wednesdays. On Tuesday, she turned up wearing a wrist bandage. the Thursday before, it was something else.
Don't say I didn't warn you.
