Weird? Pretty much.

Otlan:
Did your library open?
Dina:
I'm afraid, I'm not so skilled any more. It has been a while. The brain and the body still know the movements, but I wouldn't stand even through warming up, if I went to training again.
It was good for me as a teenager, because it strenghened my confidence.
I think I will send Mini-me either to karate or better to jiu-jitsu, because there she would learn how to fall without hurting herself. That's a pretty useful skill. And the jiu-jitsu training is not so far away, too.
Edit: I won't try karate again also because my left side got a bit damaged in a car accident about 15 years ago, and there are some sports I can't do any more without a great amount of pain afterwards, so...
That's why I do things like swimming or fast walking nowadays, because the running hurts.
Dina:
Sorry about the car accident and its consequences Regen. And that sounds good about your jiu-jitsu. I don't know much about the differences between disciplines, but knowing how to fall seems indeed like an useful skill.

Yes. I am very grateful, that I regained the use of my leg and my arm. I was very lucky. I can do whatever I need to do and most of the time you can't even see a limp.
Karate is more about hitting and blocking.
Jiu-jitsu is a mixture of several martial arts, including parts of aikido and I think judo. I did only take part in this for one month, but at least I learned a bit how to take a fall, when you fall on your back and how to roll over my shoulder. I couldn't continue, because the training clashed too much with my work schedule, but it was very interesting. And I was even able to use my little knowledge afterwards, when I misjudged a jump over some pebbles while crossing a street with the inline skates once. I hope it looked cool. LOL. I even came back up on my feet and drove around a corner to check, where all the blood came from. But otherwise I was OK.
I did some reading of Short Stories today. Brief Cases. Because I wanted to re read Cold Case. I couldn't remember this Evanna from the Peace Talks trailer. In 4 days I can get my monthly audio book. It will be Skin Game. After that I am ready for the new book. Only one month and a few days now!!!!!
Happy happy joy joy
Dina:
Yes, you were lucky. I am sure this was a terrifying experience.
Thanks for the info about jiu jitsu and it is a shame you could not pursue it. Schedules can be complicated indeed. I had to stop studying ballet because I was taking classes to prepare myself for secondary school. I was set to go to a school who is under the university administration and there was an admission exam so twice a week I had to go to take special classes to prepare myself for it- Therefore I couldn't keep going to dancing, which was also becoming harder and harder. I was planning go back to ballet classes the next year, but by then my schedule was even more complicated, and classes were difficult! (I passed the admission test and went to the school I wanted :))
And I am sure you look very cool that time with your skates-
Yes, PT is close!

Hello weird!
My neighbour wanted my help with something and banged on the (metal) gate of the farm loud enough to wake the dead... He rudely interrupted my holy siesta. I wanted to put my fingers around his throat and strangle him to death, but there were a couple of witnesses. But I think I'll release my dogs one fine and hot summer night to roam wherever they please and start a fight with the stray dogs that prefer to sleep near his house. Who knows? The door to his chicken coup looks flimsy. >:(
