I just do not know what happened,
There I was preparing my dinner,
A glass of Rioja to help me,
Music playing as normal,
Listening to a favourite rock band.
When this tune started playing
The foot started tapping,
The legs went from side to side.
And there I was dancing,
Dancing around the kitchen.
This was just not me,
I had not danced for years,
But here I was moving to the tune.
Strictly, here I come!

A fine write Gold.
Thanks Orchi.
I guess a certain someone, you treasure close in that place where your life's beat is pulsed: felt like a little jiggle and took you along for the ride...
title and video's picture made me lmao,
now that's a strictly episode I need not ever contemplate! 'oh the inhumanity our pixel screens subject us: to bare witness-to' lol
She surely did LB.
I will let you know when I am on strictly.😂

Am tapping my feet to the number and smiling at imagining you dancing round that kitchen - go go Andy.
Thanks Fay.
"Dance as though no one is watching you,
Love as though you have never loved before,
Sing as though no one can hear you,
Live as though heaven is on earth."

You keep going, Andy - should do wonders for the circulation. Enjoyed the read very much. As someone that lives mostly alone, I identify with the freedom to be oneself with no one watching.
However, two Matters Arising:
1. 'Video unavailable' - presumably in the Antipodes only. Could you send me the title and I'll look it up independently.
2. When you appear on Strictly, I won't get it here either - could you send me the tape?
Take care with the sideways shuffle on carpet. I speak from experience....
Dave
Thanks Dave, sorry you could not see the video here is the link

If that does not work it is a song called "Break the Rules' from the album by Status Quo called "Aquostic - Stripped Bare"
The tape will be sent but it may be a little while yet.
I will take care with that shuffle.
Take care

Puts me in mind of a Morcombe and Wise sketch - gave me a smile Andy.
Thanks Michael, glad to bring a smile to you.
Morecombe and Wise were so wonderful and funny. I wrote a poem about Eric Morecombe after seeing a show called 'Morecombe', it was just a brilliant one man show talking about Morecombe and Wise. It was the first performance of it in the theatre in Tewkesbury, it was the theatre where he died. At the end of the show the performer and the producer came down to answer questions and they said there was somebody in the audience that would also answer questions. It was Eric's daughter and one of the things she said that I will never forget is that when her son was told of his Grandad's passing he said to her "Does that meant there will be no more magic?"

That's a lovely story Andy.
Fleets tapping, arms swaying and we let the music take us away
so keep dancing, A
Tap and away away Suresh, I will.
Andy
Dancing is good
