In addition to snow, today was also special because there is an ice rink in Birmingham now! It opened today and me, D, E, C and S went to skate. S is my cousin who was going to fly to Estonia, but her flight was cancelled (and this made some relatives angry, to be angry because of a plane?). S had visited my sister during the day, but she had a Spanish lesson this evening, so she left S with me and because I had a plan to go skating, she came with us.
At the beginning I felt like a goat on slippey ice (nagu kits libedal jaal), but then it went better. I had not skated for 2 years, after falling painfully. I realised I can only turn one way, because in ice rinks there is normally a direction.
Ice rink is good, but it is a bit too expensive. £9 with own skates and £9 with skate hire. Solihull is much cheaper, but it is trouble getting there. At least they should have some student discount of discount if I have own skates.
Lockers are small, very small, so small that a rucksack and winter coat do not fit there together, and of course not boots (not aproblem if you rent skates, as your shoes will be put into their shelves).
What a feeling of fast movement on the ice. There were only 5 people, us, and occasionally, some of the staff skated.
Everybody who went today said they are going back!
Unfortunately there is not much snow. It was promising heavy snow for this evening, so that D was worried that it is too heavy to come back from skating. Nooooo! Snow is good. I hope somebody else is happy about the snow too:)
