Ikea/Tai Chi

So I decided, on a spur of the moment, to check out the Ikea in Cardiff. I managed to get some good useful stuff there (basting brush, chef's knife, tupper-ware, and a super comfy office chair).

You can't imagine how comfy it is :)....soooo comfy!

But I didn't just get it for comfort, I am actually very impressed at the lower back support this chair provides, it's really amazing quality for the price (yes I am giving a bit of a consumer review, but I really like this chair).

As some of you may or may not know, I am an ergonomic buff. I have the nice chair, but I'm still on the search for a good keyboard/mouse and matching wrist rests.

Anyway, possibly because I was dilly dallying in Ikea or for other reasons... I ended up being late for my first Tai Chi session at the school sports centre. Nonetheless, it did feel great to get back into Tai Chi; I had really forgotten how good I felt even after just a little bit of practice. The Tai Chi that is being taught at the school however is a different style than I was initially taught. I started learning modified Chen style (long form), and the Tai Chi at the school is traditional Yang style (short form). But there are a lot of similarities and I'm sure to pick it up quickly.

All in all it was an interesting day yesterday and I capped it all off by assembling an Ikea chair before I went to bed.

Cheers
