Friday night Tango instruction, and we are progressing well. One of the instructors (Donna) told us that she hated to interupt us while dancing because we look so romantic. I guess is it the way we gaze lovingly into each others eyes. We have really enjoyed learning the Tango and I suspect that we will move on to another type of dancing. Perhaps next year after completing another session of Tango.

We have more time for socialising in our new life here in Canada. Last week at work an email came out offering tickets to the YMCA 150th birthday bash. My company had brought a table and they offered the tickets to first come first served. I replied and received two tickets. Last night was the celebration and it was quite a night with speeches, dancers and an announcement that the government has sold the Albert Street School site to the 'Y' for $1. In the coming year they will build a new facility on the 6.5 acre site. Another great project for Fredericton. Plus we had entertainment from the Downtown Blues Band an excellent local band. Everytime we are exposed to some new event here I am always amazed at the amount of talent for a city of 50-60,000.

When we arrived home we found that Kathryn had brought a Nintendo Wii game platform, with her tax refund money (I'll write another entry blog on tax filing). So we ended up spending the next hour boxing, playing tennis, golf, baseball and ten pin bowling! The possibilities of the Wii for increasing fitness is amazing. A session can give you a good work out with lots of motion. I have never been a great fan of computer games but this Wii has possibilities. I shall restart my keep (well get) fit regime.  |
