shake a leg

pohnout kostrou

The business of the audition is squeezed into all this in less time than it takes to shake a leg.

Evenings full of wine rich in body, and food that just can’t be ignored, inevitably drift into conversations that solve the world’s problems, and tomorrow the sun will shine again and it’s time to shake a leg and enjoy another day. If any holiday could be a tonic for both mind and body, a few days in the clean air and clear conscience of Saalbach-Hinterglemm has to be it.

Dinner time, said Pete. Tastes like shit but it fills you up. If you don’t want any of yours, you give it to me. Come on, shake a leg, old son.
