The Rules of Connection: I think about pedagogy, lindy hop and ideology
Once again, Bug’s Question of the Day has my brain working.
Recently there was a paper published in Research and Dance Education on “frame matching” where it is proposed that there is a “universal” methedology of lead/follow that can apply to all partner dances.

No Meat Week continues… and continues…
Laura linked me up with the Guardian article “Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall: the joy of veg” and it reminded me that I’d been talking about our no meat week here and not reported on it recently.

Tonight I am feeling much better, so we are having the cauliflower, onion and ginger dinner with spinachy rice from an earlier week.

Four weeks already! There was that big bit of exchange in the middle, where I did cook meat, but still. It’s been four weeks since we decided to give this a go. And we’re not sick of it yet. I guess the next goal is to not eat meat for lunch.
We are [...]
We’re both quite crook at the moment, so Dave had leftover veggie curry and I had steamed veggies and a poached egg. Because I have not tastebuds at all.
