Are you 'Dances with Difficulty?'

After re-watching ‘Dances with Wolves’ over the Christmas holidays, I have decided that we would all benefit from having an Indian pseudonym. Anyone who has seen the film will know that the main characters are called ‘Dances with Wolves’ (Kevin Costner), ‘Kicking Bird’ (his trusty friend) and the feisty ‘Stands with a Fist’ (the love interest). I, of course, wish to be known as ‘Chief Sitting Sofa’. Emily will henceforth be known as ‘Shining Star’. I think Dad should be renamed ‘Stands with a trowel’. You get the idea. Choose your own name or risk having it chosen for you! God, I hope I am not being really offensive to Native Americans.

Musical Madness - Rave Reviews!

Entertainers in the West End are quaking in their roles and turning green with envy at the acclaim heaped upon the stars of the New Brighton Floral Pavilion for their recent singing and dancing extravaganza ‘Musical Madness’. One of the biggest rounds of applause of the night went to Emski for her catchy rendition of ‘Honey, honey!’; she can truly dance the pants of those Mamma mia girls.And what about Amy? She’s been hiding her light under a bushel, and no mistake (can you tell I’ve been reading Dickens lately?). With the voice of a nightingale and the patience of a saint (with the little ones, who needed a bit of prompting) and she really strutted her stuff in that High School Musical.
