Ice-skating day


Well, here are some of us skating today at the Guildford Spectrum - or kind of. In the top photo, you can see Geoff, and at bottom, Alex with skates on, and Olivia in the shadows. Some videos of the girls can be seen over on You Tube... There are no videos of Alex skating because he had to be held up the whole time by me - he wasn't very keen on the whole experience as it was a bit slippy, and spent a lot of time sitting outside the rink watching and having to be dragged on for brief sessions of being pulled along. By the end of the first hour, he was ok with that, but still not thrilled, so I swapped our skates in and we went and had a coffee (or whatever) and watched Daddy and the girls from the gallery above. I'm an okay skater, but it was just easier to take Alex upstairs... Anyway, the girls have been desperate to go ice-skating, so this was their promised treat - it's not a bad rink, and not too far away, so we'll probably go again. There's also an excellent pool with slides, etc, which I'm sure we'll go back to visit.
