That was actually my first thought lol, but the allure of the twirling ribbon proved too much, so I went for rhythmic gymnastics.

I was thinking of you when I wrote it.
i know you hanker for those little caps, maybe with the decorative floral patterns ... the music, the synchronisation ....

I'd love to say archery, Lex ... but I'd turn up in a green and gold Robin Hood outfit.


Yep.
