Busy weekend

This was a great weekend, well from Saturday night inwards anyway. Saturday started badly, up late, went to attend a beginners Salsa lesson - I'll let you digest that for a second....two...three and you're back in the room. However, we parked at the centre only to be told that we couldn't park there and ended up driving around for so long that the lesson was almost over.
Shizuka went to work as usual and I decided to have a night in until she called later and said they were going to the beach for a little fire work party. So I headed in to town and caught up with them. We drove to this picnic area by the beach and let off little rockets and sparklers - quite a popular thing to do as it turns out because there were plenty of other people doing the same. We finished at 4 am and when home.

Sunday we went to a beach house owned by a friend of mine. As we got there you could smell the food, crabs, lots of different fish, stake and huge oysters (huge yuk!), plus beer on tap! Had a great day chillin' by the beach, even learned how to throw an American football.
About 6 we all split, but a few of us decided to go to Round 1. Round 1 is a big games centre where for most activities you buy a ticket for about £8 and you have unlimited access to tennis, basket ball, volleyball, badminton, archery, baseball etc and unlimited credits on the arcades (including House of the Dead) . Had a right laugh, and this time I managed to get some home runs in the batting cages - though my archery and my pitching sucked! Like an idiot though I didn't take my camera!

so did you go dancing in the end? mock also but im thinking about it, maybe not salsa, but some form of dancing that doesnt involve jumping up and down on the spot whilst simultaneously banging your head. a man needs to know how to dance you know...good on you mate
that i do believe, what i dont believe is that you actually managed to hit a baseball at round one...tell everyone how many balls you hit in 40 minutes last time?...be honest...

Are we talking to the nearest whole number? Out of what 50 balls? oh I'd have to say I hit at least one square on and must have worried 4 or 5. However, I liked your blog comment, 'if you're going to war pick gareth.....' My BB gun shooting was wicked!
Salsa was tricky - keeping one eye on where you're going and the other on the instructor. I was worried for my partners feet!

you going again to salsa class? what about shizuka?

Gareth said...

Yes, we intend to go again. Shizuka wanted to start and I agree completely with your about comment about being able to do some kind of dancing.
