Thanks all, belatedly! The 'do' went well, everyone seemed to get on well with everyone else - never a bad thing. Highlight was about 8 of us trying to do paradiddles with hands and feet at once! (A paradiddle is a drum exercise R = Right hand, L = left hand so. holding a steady rhythm it's L R L L R L R R. Now try with the feet - go on, you know you want to! Now the tricky bit - do the feet at double the speed of hands - then the other way round! If you can do that, you deserve a drink!).
