Random memories 3

These very old ice skates didn't belong to me. They must have belonged to a professional ice skater, as they were rather worn out by the time I bought them from a charity shop about fifteen years ago.

I have some kind of fascination for this type of white boot skates. I think they're really beautiful. When I bought them I was hoping they were my size, but they were three numbers larger. I tried to wear them once with cotton on my toes, but I kept falling over with them!

I used to do artistic roller skating when I was much younger, but I gave up at the age of fourteen. I loved it! And I've always loved watching ice skating performances on screen. My frustration has always been not being able to do the same jumps and pirouettes on ice, although if you give me a pair of ice skates, I'll do fine and won't fall on my bum. Only if the skates are too big! :)

For some strange reason, I like keeping these skates... maybe as a reminder of the good times spend skating as a child..

Feeling a bit tired now. Tomorrow I booked a massage for my back, see if the pain goes away a little bit. I will be off work, so I'm planning to enjoy my day as much as I can, since I'll be working at the weekend.

Thanks very much for all your lovely comments on my portrait. I hope you all had a good day! :)
