That, I fear, would be recklessly, if not suicidally, over-optimistic…
Fishnets go over the support hosiery
And was that a request for ballet classes for the cellar I heard?
I do hope so
Now stand with your heels together and your toes at a position of ten to two
Back straight chest lifted bum tucked under tummy held in
Head held high and your arms curving to just in front of the pubic bone
And bend your knees till it pulls your calf muscles and straighten then bend the knees going down as far as you can and straighten
Keep your hips over your feet and your bum tucked in all the time
Repeat seven times
Then we go to second position
A gentle warm up
I followed your instructions to the letter, Madame, and farted most vigorously. Is this normal? Should I be worried? Should you?
Can we do a polka now, please?
The DDD habitually stands with her forefeet at ten to two. Will that do?
I am going to bed. G’night.
Bugger you, Gus—I was enjoying that wine.
I cannot for the life of me see what is so funny about a portly, poodle-headed, flatulent matron that you should waste good wine for the sake of it.
Hope there’s life in the bottle yet, me dere.
Side-together, side together, point, and…
Aw. The snout, the ears, the look in her eyes.
I might be missing DDD a bit. Hairy Fool is in and has deigned to play Hedgehog Ball, though, so one must not complain.
…stare?
No, dahling.
Point and laugh.
‘He lived a withdrawn life in a small castle’, so Wikipedia has just told me. Now that is a sentence worthy of being shot and stuffed, I reckon
Gus dear one
Tou are ready to go to proper first position
Feets at quarter to three knees over middle toes as you bend all other postures the same
Easy isn’t it?
Guaranteed to get you farting and checking if yer pelvic floor is up to keeping you continent
There are 6 positions
Then you work on pointing and lifting stuff at the barre
Three quarters of an hour at the barre and then you are ready to work unsupported as you have warmed up properly
Finish off by stretching by doing the splits side splits and then doing that against the wall
And do the splits and turn from one leg in front by rotating through side splits and supporting your weight on your hands
You are now warmed up enough for rehearsals
Or more classes…
I fink I’ll stick wiv my own exercise routine, thanks.
Some of them pint glasses is perishin’ heavy.
Oh dear…
I hope at least he ate it afterwards.
Bacon buttie wee birdie?
You burn up a lot of energy with those pint pots
Wee birdies are not meant to be skeletal
Alternatively, position tongue against teeth and exhale forcefully. Much less of a palaver when the object of the exercise is to imitate a ruddy swan.
Gus dear the Sugar Plum Fairy ain’t a swan!
Nor is Cinderella Sleeping Beauty Giselle or Manon to name a few
So get exercising
Shan’t.
I regret that I have only one like to give for my indolence…
