Marriage

[farouk]

My daughter is 56 and just got her first ones @farouk

One on each wrist with her children's names.

PS: @Pearl What you said not long ago when you told us about your daughter's tattoo is in some ways a reminder of dancing: the figure of 8 - in the design - is kind of a perpetual motion represented in dancing.

Or even figure skating . . . but I'm sure it doesn't mean anything like that to her. But I get what you mean.

@Pearl A bit like Torvill and Dean, in fact.

She must really have linked the figure of 8 in order to have it permanently.

I don't think she thought about the figure of eight it is just a pretty scroll and floral design with her children's names.

@Pearl Even if she didn't think of the figure of 8 as in ice skating, she must have strongly desired the design, anyway.

Baack in the mists of time - on black and white TV even - there were two dance competitions on TV but probably on different channels when we only had two. One show was called 'Come Dancing' and the other was 'Strictly Ballroom'. So the one we are currently enjoying is called 'Strictly Come Dancing' and is on the BBC with no adverts to interrupt it.

@Pearl So is Strictly Come Dancing on currently as a series?

Yes farouk, it will be the final tomorrow night.

@Pearl So are they really good?

Yes they are and out of the four couples left in it's hard to choose who will win.

@Pearl I guess those who move best in unison, right? I think you once said this is rather instructive and inspiring.

I think they will all dance three times tomorrow - instead of just once. And the public phone in will decide the winners. If it was up to the judges then it would be on performance alone but the public can be fickle and vote on likeability, costumes etc so it's anybody's guess who will win. I just watch though and don't vote.

Yes farouk, one year God showed me that a good marriage should be like dancing together.

@Pearl So do you have a dance they do that you particularly like to see?

I prefer the Latin dances like the jive and Charleston or the quickstep too.

@Pearl Seems like you do prefer the Latin ones where they move fast. Do they also do the Tango, maybe?

They do the tango and Argentine tango, they also do the American smooth which I quite like. But the Latin dances have the best tunes.

@Pearl So is the 'American smooth' a tango variety?

No it's a mix of freestyle ballroom and can be quite energetic and fast moving with the man lifting the lady.

@Pearl So then you evidently like to see it done like that.

Do you like the tango, also? it can also be rather energetic and drastic, can't it?

I like all of the dances but the quality depends on the dancers.

@Pearl I was never into it, but I think you were, you said; so if you could go back years would you concentrate more on the Latin ones like the jive, charleston and maybe tango?
