I've made a friend.

It's true. She's not even a cat. She's 100% human. Today was another lovely day with a warm breeze AND blue sky and I went to my first tap class. There were two instructors and 7 other ladies in the class. As I expected, I was the only one there under the age of 65 :-) However, they've all been taking this tap class together for a while and I haven't done any tap in over a year so I was way behind them! They even have a couple of routines worked out and they just turn the music on and go. I had NO idea what was happening but I double-shuffle-ball-changed and flap-stepped as best I could trying to figure out what I was supposed to be doing. Here's one of the songs we danced to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABV8oIdecyo it was hilarious! We laughed a lot and I was really glad that I went. They were all extremely kind and I'm really looking forward to going again next week.

When we were walking out I was talking with one of the ladies whose name is Jill. She lives in Pinchbeck, which isn't far from here, and gave me her phone number and address. She said to feel free to come over whenever I like. She even invited me to go shopping with her this afternoon but I had to pick Inan up from school. I can't wait to call her! Maybe we'll be best friends and drink tea together three times a week. I can only hope!

  1. Um, you are NOT allowed to make best friends in England.

    However, I must say that I am thoroughly excited to experience your tap-dance skills when you return to our boring lil patch of the world over here.
