It's my birthday today ... I don't get birthday posts here cos i put my birthday down on all public forums etc as 25 December 1957...not because of jesus...it's a Shane macGowan thing...that and sensitive information...I mean..do you want my national insurance number to go with that?
But this year it's special and so are some of you...so let me quit the guarding and share this one with you.
I'm fifty this year...that's a biggie huh? Can I tell you my day? (feel free to switch off now..I talk too much I know!)
I got up at 8 this morning...now I know that that is lie in for some of you lot but, me...I work nights as well as days...I don't usually get up at 8...straight off to a health meeting for 8:45 which wraps up at 10:30 and I'm training (tai chi chuan). I go from training straight to teaching, a local group of mixed neurological and physical needs teaching tai chi as a simple muscular skeletal rehab and repair programme and then home for breakfast (2:30...cheese on toast..but obviously classy vegan wholesome etc...no supermarket bread etc etc) and then a class with a private student who today just started to understand why so much violence in authentic tai chi...that was great...most of 'em just run away or I need to say 'hey if you don't want to understand self empowerment I'll go at your pace...butterflies and rainbows...here we go...)
Soup..lovely and then off to the leisure centre where I do another hours solitary practice and then teach a mixed needs group a blend of authentic tai chi and the stuff you expect from tai chi. I get home at nine and my bro turns up. He's here with a bunch of tools to get working on a curiosity shop that we're opening and a Twelfth Night poster that I've had since I was 14 all framed up ready for the shop..the shop is going to be the most amazing shop..we've got cigarette packets from the 1920's...one's called 'Black Beauty Shag' oh dear..another called 'the best shag' hahahah...these'll make great valentines presents...right through to Monster Magnet vinyl and nazi stamps - it's gonna be a great shop.
Best birthday present ever is my bro turning up and giving me four days work getting the place trim. It's not your typical fiftieth, but boy it's been good...K..I'm off for a beer and a cigarette...don't let 'em fool ya..not all tai chi teachers are white winged health fanatics..some of us like to live a poisonous life
For us tai chi is the safety helmet on the wild bike ride.
Happy Birthday Elfink..here's to the next fifty
