7th day of the 7th month of the 7th year

I couldn't let this day pass without making some comment about the date; the seventh day, of the seventh month, of the seventh year, of the third millenium, since the birth of Jesus Christ.

I know that various special events were being held globally on this day to mark it in some significant way.

For me, tonight has been a milestone, because I took my first ever dancing exam. I have been taking ballroom dancing classes for a couple of months now, and loving every minute! When the exams were first mentioned I really didn't think I would possibly be ready, but my teacher encouraged me to at least have a go. The minumum was four dances, so I chose Foxtrot, Waltz, Tango and Rumba at the lowest level, which is Bronze Preliminary.

I won't know for a couple of weeks how I did, but the main thing was that I enjoyed it, although it was a bit nerve-wracking with everyone watching.

Andy came to watch and take some photos - so here is the evidence.

Enjoy!
