Sold out.
Turns out you have to order something like two weeks in advance. Whoa! This year we're more on the ball. Well, my office is - they put together a night of skating. So we went out last Monday night, for real this week.
The rink is in a real nice location, sort of one-of-a-kind. It's the courtyard of a former rich person's mansion (now its a museum). For £12.50 per person you get to skate for one hour. So Grace and I went, our one money splurge for every six months. Anyway, it was nice enough - kind of crowded as you might guess.
Last weekend, we had another night out. We went bowling! It was someone in Grace's class' birthday. I thought it would be silly, but actually, it was awesome. The bowling alley was basically out of pulp fiction. It was mostly a bar with fifties dance music and there were a few bowling lanes in one corner, a stage for a live band in the other, a movie theater showing classic old movies (Goldfinger that night), and a restaurant with fifties style booths. There were also lots of people with greased hair and leather jackets about. It was awesome. Plus, Europeans are, in general, really bad at bowling, so my 115 was good enough for second (I lost to another American).
I'm kind of blurry in this picture. There were also sound-proof rooms where you and your friends do karaoke. All booked, but still, amazing.
Next week, another birthday. This time - roller disco.
