For the hard of thinking amongst those of you that were in class, and for those of you that weren't, this is just a reminder that there is no class this coming week (Tuesday, 27th Apr).
That said, anyone who shows up at my hotel in Morocco at 7pm on Tuesday evening will be taught for free! The rest of you I will see the following week (Tuesday, 4th May).

A likely Story
Word has reached me that at least one student, who will remain nameless, but who has recently been found guilty of not practising by a jury of his peers, is trapped by volcanic ash in another part of the world.
I wish to pass on my best wishes to anyone who finds themselves trapped a long way from home well beyond the point at which it ceases to be fun. I trust you all make it home soon and in safety.
For my part, I'm hoping that things clear up so I can get off this Gods forsaken island for a few days and into the Moroccan sun.
However, I digress, it appears that at least one person will be using the natural disaster in Iceland as an excuse for not turning up for class. He WILL be punished at the appropriate time. Let this be a warning to you all.
I'll see the rest of you tomorrow. Or else! :-)

The Trial of Benedict Smith
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury. The prosecution has only one item of evidence in this case. The accused has claimed that the photograph he submitted, which I will share with you all here, is evidence that he was practicing his Tai Chi whilst on holiday.
I ask you all to look at this image and ask yourself, "What's wrong with this picture?"
I know that all of you ladies and gentlemen assembled here are sufficiently skilled in the art of Tai Chi to know that Benedict Smith posed for this photograph. Had he not, the step he took in to this position would have probably caused him to tumble the one mile or so down the canyon wall to a sure and certain death!
Whilst he may be praised for standing so close to the edge for the purposes of art, there is no doubt in my mind, nor should there be in yours, that Benedict Smith was not practicing!
Rather, whilst on holiday, the accused was having fun, visiting sights of outstanding natural beauty and generally having a good time.
So, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I ask you to retire and consider your verdict and hope that you find the accused guilty of having a bloody good time whilst we were all stuck in Grantham - in the cold - practicing.
The prosecution rests.

A New Start
Just wanted to welcome back those of you who felt compelled to join us all again for further adventures in the world of Yang Style Tai Chi.
With luck, all of those who mailed me to let me know that they were travelling today, for whatever reason, will be back safe and sound in time for next week's class. Fingers crossed that Ben and David were only MIA for a week.
Finally I wanted to formally welcome Jan G to our little gang.
Hopefully next week's class will be quiet enough not to require a call to the police!! :-)
PS. Get well soon Eileen.
