Lyra: You got a proposal!? Tell me I misunderstood that.

I don't think you are. There was a gang of them, and I was ignoring them, then one said something along the lines of "She's a good Irish girl- she's waiting for marriage" then another said "OK, I'll marry you". Then I ran off. I don't know where they got the Irish thing from!

Yesterday I took the 2-mile trail by the lake again while rehearsing my history in the art of Irish Dance. It might be an interesting story to some people some day, so I mean to keep it. Through different Irish dances,

I really really miss Irish dancing. I did it for years but it what with practice, lessons and feis (what is the plural of feis? [img]smilies/confused.gif[/img] ) it took too long. I gave it up when I got to GCSEs. I wouldn't really describe most of it as Hobbit. though. My favourite was hard shoe. I was a lot better at that too. I won a few prizes for the hornpipe- not that I'm boasting or anything! What is a rise and grind? We must have used different names. I noticed at area-wide feis (Once again I'm stuck on the plural!) that people called things differently. I used to do English country dancing too, and I have to say that they (and Ceili dances) strike me as more Hobbitish. Do you know anything of English ones, or is it only Gaelic dancing that floats your boat? can't wait for your link!
Eek- this has been very un-Tolkien. I will try to limit my nostalgia for the good old days in future.
