2023 - What I did today

Is that the Matthew Bourne "Swan Lake" with the male swans? Next time you're at the Barre you can imagine you're a swan...........we need pictures.

Yep, plenty of 'Men in tights'  One thing I did notice was that it was only the lassses that were on their tip  toes, and not the men? I say lasses because similar to footballers there carreer would be over when they were 30' ish and I wondered whether they would have feet problems in later life? I still have no idea what the story was about and why there was a jester?

I used to work with a former ballerina and she always walked and behaved as if she was still in the ballet. We had to go to Llangollen, North Wales to walk the proposed new boundary between two councils. The route included river banks, overgrown hillsides and generally it was a bit on the wild side. There were 4 of us - 3 in walking boots and outdoor clothing, the ballet dancer wore a frock with frilly bits and totally unsuitable shoes. By the end of day one, the dress was in shreds, the frills hanging off in tatters and she'd split the zip down the back. We borrowed a pair of scissors from the hotel and cut off all the frills and pooled some of our spare clothing so that she had something to wear the following day. She was so upset! As for her feet, I've no idea but she wasn't much of an outdoor walker!
