It's a Wednesday so I will be playing tennis and swimming.  Maybe I can celebrate with a glass of prosecco before tennis - as I am not an elite athlete, I'm OK to take performance enhancing drugs.


I'll be skating at Romford tonight so will keep a lookout for signage - I would be surprised if there wasn't any.  They have a gym and a pool there (the rink is on the top floor).

Well that's a bit rubbish;

https://www.worldiceskatingday.com/event-locator

It appears only two rinks signed up this year (Sheffield, and Canary Wharf)

Oddly both these are listed under United Kingdom; yet if you select England, or Great Britain from the list, it shows nothing registered!

And a couple of days ago:

The greatest trick figure skaters ever pulled, was convincing the world it was easy.

Interesting - Canary Wharf is a Christmas rink.


I've not skated at new Lee Valley or any other "Better" rink since they adopted their "covid" era policy of booking one hour slots.  Lamebrained idiots won't get my money.
