my weekend...

...has been a lot of fun!  One of my favourite things to do when at home, whether sewing, cleaning or hanging out with my kids, is to listen to music.  And I love the radio as it means I don't have to constantly make decisions about what to listen to next, and I get to hear new music or old classics I'd forgotten about.  

I think the radio programme I listen to most of all is the Craig Charles Funk and Soul Show on BBC Radio 6 Music - I love upbeat music that gives me energy and makes me want to dance.  But although I dance around the house while I do the housework, and have regular dining room discos with my kids, it has been years since I went out and really danced.

Well last night that changed....the Craig Charles Funk and Soul Club, an occasional live DJ set by the man himself along with lots of other excellent DJs, came to Bristol.  And I went out, with my dancing shoes on (flats, of course!) and my nails painted, and I danced my ass off.  It was brilliant to realise that after 2 kids, and years of domestication, my wild child is still alive and kicking inside me.  And when he played my all time favourite funk tune, I nearly exploded...



I will be doing it again sometime soon!

 I hope you had a great weekend too.

    I miss dancing...I think the only time I really get to have a proper dance now is at weddings! There was a lot of dancing and out of tune singing going on in our kitchen this weekend. x

    Live music makes you come alive - dancing to a dj is almost as good. Oh I miss those days :) Good on you for getting some 'time out'

    Sounds fab, we all should put our dancing shoes on now and again. My dancing is mainly in the kitchen these days but it's still good for the soul. Sarah x

    You can't beat a good dance, especially if there's a pile of handbags to dance around! :) x

    I love Craig Charles! Partly cos I love hid music and also cos he looks a bit like my hubby lol. Have you thought about taking your boys to a festival? It is such a laugh and you can dance your socks off with them. CC is playing camp Bestival this summer :) we saw him at big chill with my daughter, when he first started DJing and it was fantastic. All the mommas and the kids wiggling their bootys lol
