After a lovely break over Christmas and New Year its very hard to get back into work mode and, until two days ago, I still had two teenage children with me. Sara returned from the USA on Wednesday and Mary has returned to live with her and her man whilst Thom, having spent a day back with his Mum, is still with me and looking forward to watching the Panthers' game on TV on Sunday night. We hope to make it a lovely lads' night in and hopefully, watch the Panthers advance to the Super Bowl. In the meantime, there is a pile of paperwork on my desk and the problem of trying to shoehorn in all our commitments. Liz and I have started going Ceroc dancing together (she has been going for about two years) and I had my very first introduction on Monday night when I had the pleasure of "dancing" (and I deliberately put it in parentheses) with about forty different women - all of whom seemed to be far better at it than me. The problem is that with Ceroc dancing, like so many other forms of dance, the man always leads; so whilst a female beginner can be led through the steps by the man, the man also has to learn the steps through which he then leads the lady! If the woman forgets a move she can be forgiven (blame the man) but if the man forgets a move the whole process comes to a grinding halt (as I found out on quite a few occasions). Anyway, I have signed up for it and Liz and I think it would be quite good fun to get proficient at it so we can really enjoy ourselves on the dance floor on future occasions. My first reaction was "Oh dear, I'll never be able to hack this", but I am determined to learn and improve on quite a few moves to at least appear proficient at dancing - besides which, it is something Liz and I can share and enjoy and is a rather fun way of keeping fit and hopefully losing some weight. I'll let you know how I progress through these pages. Holidays also booked to Venice and the Bahamas and possibly another location during the year. Life seems to be so much fun and I continue to really look forward to enjoying 2016.

Shall we Dance?
