I have now booked a week at Tango Mango and have spent some time at Bilborough covering for biology and english. There is always something new to learn about Othello and, for the first time today, I learned that that there are intercostal muscles on both sides of the rib cage, the one set contracting while the other expands. At last my telecom plus 'cards' are ready for the press; I cannot afford to pass up Bilbo. work, which has been coming thick and fast of late with all the colds about. There will be plenty of time to devote to selling when work is thin on the ground.

Ads. have been distributed around local shops in time for guitar Christmas presents. Kirsty, who started on Monday seems most promising; she is dead keen and has a clear sense of rhythm; she obviously listens to alot of music. The rotating vocada, or whatever it is called is devilishly difficult. I must trust my own and my partner's sense of balance, and banish the sway back and twisted spine. The 'Mango' should help in that dept. but I must make my local individual effort too. Time for a little more guitar prac. before salsa prep. and bed. Who knows, Geraldine may summon me early tomorrow morn, for all that I could do with a clear up morning.
