OAP day
On Tuesday it is free for pensioners to skate at the rink at Gorky Park.
There were all sorts - a couple of old men doing speed skating - hand behind the back, almost bent double with the long blades.......some babushkas whizzing round like 18 year olds, a man dancing in the centre of the rink jumping from side to side and spinning around to the music.
And there was this lady. She was with the lady looking on behind her that you can just see (but she wasn't on skates). I think it was probably her first time on skates - she went up and down the side by the barrier, up and down and up and down and up and down. Slowly and holding on at first but then a little quicker and without holding on.
But what I liked best was how she looked - just fabulous!
