I Can´t Dance



Sadly my intention was not to give you an earworm, it´s a fact, I can´t dance.
But. I can give second chances.

Dancer and choreographer Detlef Soost was on TV. Ads for his programs and a show that was advertised for endlessly. I so did not like him. He was very arrogant.

Then I saw a DVD by him for €1,99 and gave it a go.

Wow. Why ever he was that arrogant on TV the DVD is great, he explains very well and with humour and encouragement, too (I even "like" to do (mild) burpees!). Even I manage the steps so far and those 4 dance-trainings became "boring" even, it was more tempting to sit down in the swing with one of the books!



Instead I ordered 3 more of his DVDs:



Because: Sport is good "in my condition", as my doc said, plus, with summer being back it sure gives me a reason to get up at 05:15. And last not least it´s good for my brain, right?
I really have to concentrate hard to coordinate feet and arms, to do the steps right - at least the rhythm is easy to follow (in the first it was).
So, wish me luck :-)
I´ll start Monday, I guess, since Ingo has today off - long weekend! :-)

And, please... can someone explain what the lille fella is doing here? To the end? The food is for this kind of bird!
Sorry for the video being so blurry, I had the zoom out quite a long bit!



Is he feeding the pigeons with the stuff he doesn´t like, do they threaten him even, does he pay them off? ;-)
No really, why does he do this?

My birds are sloppy too -- I think they just have bad beak control. But there probably is some seed they like more than others, too. I think your video is pretty good -- wish mine was as steady!

I tried to reply to your other email but it bounced back to me but you can send questions to my jeanie@wkar.org address if you have other questions!

Thank you very much for your address, Jeanie! At the moment all is fine, though!

Bad beak control? Well, ok, it took him quite a while to open the seeds, too. Sloppy made me grin, though :-)

Birds do make a heck of a mess when they eat seed Iris, that's one of the reasons I closed Cafe de Grace 😀 those seeds land in the garden and actually grow 😱 Birds do seem to have a pecking order, they eat and then make way for others.
P.s. I'll keep my eyes open for a Perth umbrella for you! Enjoy your weekend xx

Oh, Grace, you really closed your Café for good?
Well, the seeds land in the garden that no one takes care of - so I don´t care :-)
Yes, please do let me know if you find a brolly like that! Have a great weekend yourself xx

Dancing is great for the body and mind. I saw a program on dementia in older people and they had two groups - one did dancing, the other did exercise- the one that did dancing had a big improvement in both mind and body flexibility.

The bird video is cute. I get a few birds coming to eat seeds I put in a bird feeder in my garden, but it's mainly doves.

Yes, I know - sadly Ingo cannot dance, either. But I think once we´ve retired we´ll give it a go!
Ew, pigeons - here at last - are really considered a pest ;-)
