It hasn't been all eating and computer play during my holiday. I've been skating! See my technique, above? I'm pretty sure that I'm just setting up for a triple axel.
I'm actually pretty proud of myself. I haven't really skated in years because skates hurt my feet (bunions) so much! But last year I got some new, wider skates that fit with my orthotics inside. They felt great! I live right across the street from an arena -- and there is free skating on Tuesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Anyone care to join me?
(yes, that's Lauren beside me in the lower photo. Mr B and I and his son went for a skate in London and guess who else was there> Lauren and her dad and her sisters! So I got to skate around a bit holding hands with my baby! Thanks mom for coming to photograph the event!

Good for you Martha!! I haven't been skating since I was a kid.!! We used to skate ont he cranberry bogs at home. So neat that you have an area right across the street with free skating!! i would definately be out there with you!!!
Happy New Year Chica!!! Now lets ee another double axle!!!!
I'll bet that triple axel was something!!
Me, I can barely stand up in skates. (But in my defence, I used to be a very good rollerskater...)
xoxoxo Happy New and Content Year
What a great day to be out ice skating! I seem to be a forever beginner in skating and skiing. So this year I signed up for ice skating lessons. I figured Aidan is going to be a better skater than me soon, so I need to catch up.
What fun! You are elegantly vertical and that is much more than I would accomplish on skates. Happy New Year!
