Dong Chim

There are few things in life like a well placed poke.

For those of you who may have understood a second or third meaning in what was just said, don't read into it too much.

Ahh... dancing. I went dancing again tonight - this would be my second time since arriving in London. I miss dancing, I'm so glad I went tonight. Yes, I recently hurt my foot, but I suspected it was walking muscles in my feet, not muscles used for dancing. Fortunately, my suspicion was proved correct as my feet were light as a cast iron pan, nimble as a bumbling oaf, and graceful as the raging sea. There's a good dance crowd here, although I should emphasize crowd part because there REALLY isn't enough space in this room for people to dance in. Regardless, it was amazing and I need to dance more. Overall, people seem to be reasonably content with my dancing, but there is one woman who has done a good job of humbling me and reminding me that in the scheme of dancing there is a realm of dance far above my (current) abilities.

The last few days I haven't done a whole lot as I've been trying to recover my foot. I missed out on Dover, which is a major bummer, and I hear it was awesome, which is an even bigger bummer, and apparently there was really good, really cheap food there, which is just entirely rubbish that I missed out on. I did make it out to the National Art Gallery though. There are a lot of paintings there, and admittedly I really didn't get a chance to look at many of the paintings in detail since I only spent a couple hours in the gallery and looked through all of the rooms. There were a number of amazingly gorgeous paintings, but I think my favorite was a bit of an odd one. It was the only one that really jumped out at me, at least in my cursory glance through the gallery: Old man holding a pilgrim bottle. Artist unknown.

I think I need to invest in some snack food of some sort. Something that doesn't spoil too quickly, that I won't be liable to eat in too large quantities, that isn't too expensive, that can be prepared quickly. I guess I should go shopping at one of the bigger stores again. I did manage a good find today though on some cheese. A buy one get one free on 250g of aged cheddar at 4.26 pounds. Cheese is expensive so I don't buy much, but this was actually a 'reasonable' price for some quite tasty cheese. Yum! Actually, I think I'll go have some now :-)

@AJ M. - Thank you.
@Big O N~B - Skype?
@Laima Bean - Trick moves need more space :-\
@JJT - Be confident in who you are :-)
@Elf Ears - I have pics from the RAF museum. I think you would've had a blast. I'll have to test you and see what planes you can identify.
@Agirlwithnoname - I fully intend to make good on this month's adventure when I get back home. Think of something you'd like to do!
@Manonthegreenloveseat - I never got a return text from the one I replied to of yours. I'm not sure what makes the international text work or not work. Regardless, I figure facebook is still the best way to get a hold of me as I do try to check that at least once a day.
