		<description><![CDATA[Well, Helen said she would be in class on Wednesday, and wasn&#8217;t. I knew she wouldn&#8217;t be around for the Friday class. So I had nobody to dance with. (Except Mavis, who has a cold, and a lot of other people to sort out.) And hell, we only did the Foxtrot and the Pasodoble anyway. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Debbie says: &#8220;I hear Laura made you work really hard last week?  Really?  Well you&#8217;re gonna work even harder tonight!  &#8221;
Yep, that&#8217;s about right for Debbie.  
Actually it wasn&#8217;t too bad. But we spent quite a while practising pump basics, and Nicole seems adamant that we&#8217;re going to use that all [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[OK, so I now have a trippy new computer. I&#8217;m still using my existing nVidia GeForce 260 GTX, but now the ageing AMD Athlon64 2X 4200+ has been replaced by a shiny new Intel Core i7 2600K which my dear little sister gave me for Christmas. I love that girl.
There&#8217;s something satisfying about opening Task [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So on Friday we spent forever doing the Foxtrot. Yawn. Oh, and then the Pasodoble. Yawn. Still, I did get to dance with the lovely Helen all night.
Saturday there was a school dance. This didn&#8217;t seem to be very well publicised. And yet, it was fairly packed out, so maybe I&#8217;m just inattentive. Helen brought [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[No Debbie on Wednesday. She&#8217;s in Spain. So I guess that&#8217;ll be why she hasn&#8217;t answered my text yet. Instead we had Laura. And she worked us hard. In particular, we started the class with some pump basics. The good news is I think I&#8217;ve finally got the necessary coordination to do this well. The [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[OK, so last night, we danced. I arrived a little late, and by the time I got in everybody was already dancing &#8212; to a surprisingly fast stroll. Clearly Debbie is in one of those moods again. Warming up with the Panic Routine with flick basics went surprisingly well; it felt more in control, and [...]]]></description>

I thought the motherboard and RAM a few months ago. My dear sister got me the insanely expensive CPU for Christmas. And then I went out and bought the case, harddrive and a copy [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, *I* was talking my first gold bar; Nicole was just doing silver.
Unusually, the exam was scheduled for 6pm. I arrived at 5, Nicole a little while later. Lots of kids around, at least initially. We did eventually get to do some practise though. I was quite surprised to see Nicole looking uncharacteristically agitated. She [...]]]></description>
