The Eclectic Interweb

The little one went out for her first ice skating competition yesterday looking like a million dollar princess… and feeling like a nervous nelly.

Nonetheless she did her best, even overcoming the shock of the door alarm going off.

From our perspective she skated a dream for a beginner but her coach later told us she’d made a few mistakes and that was why she got an ‘encouragement’ award which I think means she came fourth. Was she upset? Well hell yes…. ! But a few tears later and we were off on the road.

Didn’t go far… just down to the local Outback restaurant where we let the dogs loose and ate like pigs. I felt that was acceptable as I joined the gym… trouble is I got on the machines this evening and after 10 mins was falling off! 😀

Maybe I’ll be better organised tomorrow… maybe I’ll be fitter tomorrow… maybe I’ll just shut up.
