Day 492: Sweaty Thursday

Quick! Before I fall asleep!

A regal white moon, both last night and tonight (it was proper full at 11.25 this morning). Beautiful. 

A pizza and lots of laughing with James, Nicole and her sister Sherry Ann and Mike. Then some work, smoothish. More this morning, after breakfast and laughing with Dan and Sue.  At work, more laughing, this time with Andi, Nic, Gigi, Pat, Jo and Caroline. Like, a lot. On the train, leaving work, Dan made us laugh so much that I thought Andi was going to be sick. She was begging him to stop. I couldn't decide what I was enjoying most - his skillful twattishness or her incapacitated begging and shaking. I'm a fan of both.


Many of us also had some very interesting not laughy conversations as well. I did a few massages, and received a few too. Andi and I did some shoulder-loosening of our own. 

Thanks for work in, an exciting opportunity, lots of emails, lots of plans. And this evening, an unexpected bit of big bowl ringing in the weirdy, but sweet Victorian pub cafe I was in, and then..... SWEATY THURSDAYS!

we dance here

Oh, Sweaty Thursday, you spoil me. I was tempted not to go, tired and feeling the pressure of work to do, but oh thank fuck in a satchel that I did. It was INCREDIBLE! I love it so much. It's a full-on and bass-filled 5 rhythms class in St Peter's Church in Vauxhall. It's beautifully led and today it was packed. There must have been seventy people there, maybe even more. More. I couldn't stop smiling.There I was, on the way home, covered in strangers' sweat and glowing. I danced with all kinds of people, in all kinds of ways. During one in particular (though not exclusively), I couldn't stop laughing. Others were slower. All of them had moments of delight and many of them were delight from start to finish. 

I shared my maté tea with two nice men. I think they were a couple, which is a shame, because I found one of them really quite lovely. They were both very nice, though, so maybe it's not a shame - maybe it's just right. 

Anyway - I'm completely spent, but very, very happy. That's good, isn't it?
