Friday night was spent surrounded by teenagers at the Slough Ice Arena. I must admit, I’m beginning to feel my age as everyone rushed along around me, leaving me to trundle along in their wake. I think I’m actually getting better at it though, managing to avoid falling over and staying away from the side for the majority of the time. I eventually had to retire thirty minutes early as I just ran out of energy, and left the teenagers to continue on until it was time to go home. A slightly different evening.

I wonder why people spend Bank Holidays looking in sofa shops, after spending Saturday afternoon looking at things for my new flat. I can’t say the experience in and of itself was fun, looking at sofa upon sofa. It gave me a good idea of how much money I’d need to furnish my new abode, and Ally was there to give me a much needed female opinion on how things would look. I might need to give some aspects of furnishing a little more thought…
