I am off to the danceathon shortly! 10.5 hours of dancing to raise money for disabled access to the workshop space at York Theatre Royal. If you'd like to sponsor me now is your last chance!

 It's that day again tomorrow. However as I have not yet come up with anything to top 2009's elopement, you are safe from me*...
