My tabla has arrived. It is shiny and red.
So far I can - stand on it, get up and down with aid of chair and sometimes without chair (but not gracefully). Once I'm up I'm OK though, I can shimmy do hip stuff, figure 8s, camels etc, and can even do the going down bending my knees going on to toes moves, although that will require practice and experimentation with weight distribution. I can also to little shuffly turns on carpet. Needs lots more practice, but def a 'party trick' that suits me and my style. As it can sit in the living room next to my computer, it will get a lot more practice than my Saiidi 'man-stick' which was been banished to the garden by N!
wheeee
