No, I did not get abused by a man, or fell down the drain, or anything dramatic of that sorts. These are the bruises that I have been getting from my pole dance classes. And this what I got from my last lesson, yesterday. Lesson 5. One class. And like a gazillion bruises. I died in class. We learnt how to do a backward butterfly and backward spinner. It's like doing a spin, but you hook your knees backwards, rather than the normal way. Which is damn bloody hard. And a lot of bumping your legs into the pole. Hence the bruises. Ouch. My arms are half twisted now, and cos I really give my all during class, and don't even think of the pain, my shoulders feel like they are going to fall off their sockets. It's my 2nd last lesson, and I am really enjoying it despite the crazy bruising. I'll probably go for Pole Dance Level 2 when I get back from my holidays. But I see what people mean when they say pole dancing is hard. Not as hard as my hot yoga, but still hard.

On another note altogether, the holidays are finally here. Been a really busy semester. I fell sick for a whole week last week, and then came back to school trying to play catch up. All 's done and completed and I am now left with nothing but Speech Day and then I am off for my trips.

India from 1st to 9th June with my kids, Sri Lanka to see Rushika on the 10th, and we are going to do a girls trip to Maldives for 3 nights when I am in Sri Lanka. Rush has also arranged for us to do a road trip during my stay in Sri Lanka. We are going to drive down to Nuwara Eliya, a Hill Country where we are staying overnight and visiting tea plantations and then we are driving down to Sigiriya, where we are going to climb up the mountain in the early morning and enjoy the caves and rock formations there. Then we will drive back to Colombo and spend the last day there. Yay!!

I am going to make sure I maximise my break cos Term 3 is going to be a looooonnnngggg................term. So until I come back from all my trips, enjoy your June and I will update when I am back!! Tata!
