My Son Graded for his 1st Dan Black Belt this weekend. I am one proud Mamma!!
"He can't move a muscle in his body today mind."
He pushed himself excessively to attain the grade. He endured a 4 hour course followed by the examination which itself took 45 minutes and it was all spoken in Japanese.
His girlfriend cried, she was impressed with what he can do. She had no idea what he could do and was clearly blown away.
4 days left in the club and then we close for Christmas. If I'm honnest it won't be a day too soon because I'm shattered. All in all, 2021 (all the 7 months we were open in 2021) were very successful. It was a good return from the lockdown before. Hopefully we will never need to recover from that position ever again. ðŸ™
For a while I was monitoring an Irish Facebook group about the lockdown. Some of their jokes were funny, and it was interesting to see what people had to say about the lockdowns and other government measures compared to over here.
