Just dance

The inspiration for this came from the video at the end of the post.

It was one of those random things that people post on Facebook that really caught my attention.

The music is brilliant, full of life;

this guy is obviously enjoying himself;

and the effect of the light is intriguing.

How could I resist turning it into a journal page?

The only downside is that it reminds me of something

I can't dance.

I'd love to be able to bounce around like that,

or maybe an Argentine Tango,

but sadly nowadays my joints have all the flexibility of a scaffolding pole

(complete with associated creaking noises)

But the good news is,

there's always the armchair boogie
(it's not pretty or elegant but who cares)

Needless to say, in my younger days when I could have done this,

I didn't want to!

George Bernard Shaw was right:

Youth is wasted on the young!

Oh, and if you're wondering why I'm posting this on a Friday lunchtime instead of a Saturday/Sunday evening, it's because I'm off to haul this decrepit old carcass around the countryside for the weekend.

Have a good weekend,

and if you get the chance

Dance!
