I am doing an unwrappy thing and mugging for the camera. This was at Edinburgh Lindy Exchange. I don’t have beard at the moment, we are “taking a break”.

Went to Edinburgh Lindy Exchange, was sweet. Nice weather and we danced outside in the sunshine. Like Exchanges, want to do more.

This was my birthday jam circle from February. I had been dancing about 5 months then. My right arm still hangs straight down sometimes, but it is better. My friend Anna took the video but now she has gone back to Germany.

I am also in this video. I am the lead with the glasses and...

I am also in this video. I am the lead with the glasses and plaid shirt, in the foreground. Josephine is a really good singer, she doesn’t usually sing with the band. This is from September this year, I had been dancing 11 months of so.

So I am in a little clip of this video doing the lindy hops with a nice waistcoat and a nice moustache, at 0.48 and then again at 1.17 very quickly. I think this was back in April.

So I haven’t posted here in ages because I am busy all the time and that is pretty cool.

I play open mic nights alot and I think I am slowly getting better.

I go out dancing 2-3 nights a week too, I am getting a reputation as a bit of a Lindy addict but I don’t mind, I go out of the local scene as much as possible. It is fun and I am meeting lots of friends. Dancing through the summer sucks, I need to take so many clean shirts with me.

I awkwardly asked out my lindy crush and now things are a bit weird between us and that sucks, but oh well. Hopefully they will get better again. I don’t usually ask out girls so I am happy I did it.

I am growing my beard out and this weekend lots of people were saying it was looking ‘epic’ and such, which is nice I suppose.

That is all, really.

PEACE

Here is a pic of me looking like an idiot at the end of my 10K run. Pretty happy with the time but would love to get close to 40:00!

Was out dancing the night before and slept on a friends floor and skipped breakfast the day of the run, not the best preparation maybe?

So I am running in the Manchester 10K on Sunday for a friends charity called Foodcycle, they take short dated food from local businesses and turn it into meals for people who need them.

If you wanted to donate anything, that would be rad and you can do so at this link: http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/fundraiser-web/fundraiser/showFundraiserProfilePage.action?userUrl=MTate

Thanks for reading and have a nice day!

There were a couple of different types of clouds in the sky so I took a photo, I don’t know why they all turn out so orange!
