Capoeira

I did my Second class of Capoeira today and the proper instructor was back. It was a different and harder experience. More flexibility was required but the format of cool African Brazilian music played throughout. One does some stretching and warm up and then some basic moves which develop. Unlike other arts, and this really is an art its very hand stand based and is very dance like. Indeed at the end we made a ring and the dancing / sparring began, and then others would come into the ring and challenge after some sort of ritual handshake. It was very beautiful to see the better dancers fighters what do I call you ? moving around with speed and grace. I really love it and shall go next week.

I also started contracting for the BBC today working on the ubiquitous IPlayer ! What an experience this is going to be for me. Also the unique culture of the BBC, and a good set of guys. Its due to run until December. A longer harder commute especially under the current heat ! Yes finally I feel a bit like summer is here. I will pick up my car from Greices tomorrow and drive to my mothers. This will be some more needed closure I feel. It has been a difficult time and I want to start feeling self again [no sniggering at the back
