Yesterday I went to my first skating class and it was awesome. I had had a really rotten day and was completely shattered but I decided to drag me and my skates out there and it was so much fun. I didn't fall over! I remembered (sort of) some of the classes I had years ago, including the all important rule of bend your knees so you don't fall over backwards. There were quite a lot of us but they divided us into two groups; I decided to stay with the people that don't know nothing which I feel was a wise decision.

Sadly, today I think I am coming down with something; I am really exhausted and ache all over and not in the 'I just skated way.' You have no idea how much time it took me to do anything. I bet I am one very sad and grumpy camper as I teach tomorrow (for which I am still only half-prepared, woes)

Er, I was convinced that I had something really fun and interesting to say when I started this post, but I guess I was wrong. I am guessing you won't find it interesting that I somehow managed to consume half a packet of Jaffa Cakes, so that can't be it.

More, as more happens.

I love skating, though I'm not able to do it a lot. Have fun, and don't get too sore.

Feel better soon. I've had a cold that's lasted for over three weeks, and I just want it gone now.

I'm sorry to hear that you're having a bad day, but the skating sounds fun! I'm impressed that you've been taking classes in interesting things like Hindi and skating. Go you! I miss learning new things, but have been way too lazy and unmotivated lately.

i hope you won't fall sick, though you're already starting to feel the symptoms. aching all over is no fun at all :(

I'm glad you had a good time skating! I was never able to get the hang or roller or ice skating. I hope you feel better soon, and don't end up being sick. :)

Ice skating is the gueen of sports. ;D

Those Jaffa Cakes are mine! Mine, I tell you!

Skating is great fun; I'm still at the beginning stage so hopefully not too much activity will mean I'm not too sore.

Thanks for the good wishes - I hope I am not coming down with the cold that has taken out a chunk of our department, but I think not as I feel a bit bouncier today.

Bad day wasn't so bad really; I think I was just all grumpy because I feel a bit under the weather. After last year where I really did very little I felt I had to make an effort to do something new - hence the skating and Hindi. It's nice because in neither of those does it matter if I'm good at it- I'm just going to have fun, which I am!

Thanks for the good wishes; I feel a bit better today though very tired, so I am hoping it might just stay low-level and not be too bad.

With skating classes make a huge difference because a lot of what you need to do is counter intuitive, so if ever want to get into it I recommend lessons. The teacher and other students seem really nice, which is a real bonus because I don't feel self-conscious at all.

And thanks for the good wishes; hope you're feeling well yourself - I don't see you post too much these days, and I miss it!

Yes! Though I am learning with hockey skates (I got them as a gift, so I really want to use them) so I am more clunky than regal! :)
