Hadn't been ice skating for a while – my sort of 'keep fit'. All the rinks are a bit a long way from where I live, but I try to skate fairly regularly. I take lessons with a coach. Today I saw something I never saw before in an ice rink – an emo. Well may be it's not just media hype, the population is growing ever fast?

I practiced a few single jumps – my goal is to do one double jump and a single-single combination jump. I think I can manage single-single combo sometime next year, but not sure about the double. It's a difficult one, so may be not in my life time…. :) But it's nice to have a dream or 2 and fantasize myself doing that.

The view of London from outside the rink – can you see the tiny but famous 'Gherkin ' building on the right?
