I wonder could I convince the instructor to move back to Ireland with us. Last night the aircon in the National Ballet Centre wasn't working, so it was like bikram pilates. Only it was 34 out and about 38 inside. There was no refreshing cool breeze when we stepped outside afterwards. Funny thing is though (well probably explained by science) I was definitely more flexible by the end. I think my whole body had melted into jelly, like that Family Guy where Peter has no bones. I was doing way better on the last exercise than usual. Course some people can touch the floor with their forehead from their sitting legs out position. I can maybe reach about as far out as my knees with my fingertips. Surprised that didn't make me puke. I'm better at the other bits. Anyway, still loving it. registration has opened for "Fall" term now and I'm trying to work out how many classes I'll fit in between now and end of November.

you know, if they called it "pirates" instead of "pilates", i'd be right in there. yarrgh.
ahoy matey,
do you feel pressure to comment damian? i like that you do, but if it's a girly topic you really don't have to.
come to think of it, there is a guy in the class, he's probably wondering when the swashbuckling starts...
pressured to comment? not at all. i like the fact that i have an audience captive to my idiocy.
does the dude in your clas have a parrot? have you ever heard the joke about the priest with a parrot on his shoulder who walked into the bar? bar was at shoulder height...knocked the parrot right off....or something like that.
HEY OHHHH!
now you've got me interested. Maybe I should look into trying it out.
i dunno emma, its no kickbox-cardio-flex-punch...
My gym membership just expired so I might look for an oul' pilates class.
you should. i do mat pilates not with that ol ball. i think that maybe our new gaff in fiinnnnnglas will have a gym, so i hope it is cheap and that i can afford pilates too. and dressmaking and learning to drive, which are all things i plan to do.
i hear you can get 100% mortgages now, thats mad. mad good maybe.
No apparently it will drive house prices up and they are talking of 120% mortgages now which is just crazy debt.
yep 120% mortages. insane, this is what happens when everyone who can afford a house already has one.
"I know let's target the people who can't afford one, it's Ireland after all, everybody wants STUFF!!"
but surely they still only give you what you can afford like, if you would have been given €240,000 as 90%, they'll still only give you €240,000 as 100% - so you still have to find a house at that price (good luck!) as opposed to having the 90% plus whatever you've saved.
still though, it briefly made me and mark go, oh! maybe we don't have to wait years - so you can see the attraction. (but i found out we won't qualify when we get home anyway so it's moot)
120% is pure craziness - a 35 year mortgage to pay for a nice pair of shoes or maybe a little banger or other little treats that you decided to buy cos your furniture etc didn't quite eat up the whole amount...
ireland, i love you and I hate you. maybe this shoudl have been a post not a comment.
