Damp and definitely different

It has never happened before. This week we had 4 times as many people attending this week's excellent Monday afternoon 'beginners' session, than made it to the Tuesday class! Well done to the two intrepid ladies who managed to get there on Tuesday night and - yes, we did actually dance. It was a night of 2's; With 2 attendees we did 2x2 couple dances, we had two non-dancers on the premises - weirdly both called David, and the 2 ladies who man (or is it woman) the bar both made it. We didn't stay the whole 2 hours however, but we did have a very pleasant sociable hour until we called it a night at 7 pm.
It wasn't really any wonder that so few made it.  I already knew that many people are away, suffering from injury, or busy with the other responsibilities in their lives; then there is the dreadful cold bug that is going around and all this was compounded by a truly spectacular storm; lightening and rain so torrential, in parts, that roads were yet again flooded - I know of at least one person who made it halfway and regretfully decided it was wiser to turn back. Never mind there's always next week - or next year for those heading back home from a holiday. In the meantime don't forget we've got normal classes next week, then the following week  only the Monday class is normal as the final Tuesday Class (on Dec 17th) is being run as our Xmas Ceilidh - simple dances we either know well, or that don't take much learning, a bit of food, a table quiz some music and any other entertainment people may want to provide.... I hope we'll get more that two people to that... on the other hand we'll certainly have plenty to eat if we do!
