So, our local rink had an exceptionally long public skating time today from 11:30 to 14:50, so we had a slow morning and I rushed over to a local store to trade in her old skates that, of course, on trying on this week, were too small. We were open to all sorts of skates, used and new, but none of them fit. Princess Pirate celebrated her luck, as she was delighted the first time we tried to go this week, only to discover kids skating off, not on the ice( my bad in misremembering the time). Not to be thwarted, I stopped at a nearby Canadian Tire, and after too level teenager complaining, and me being my own skate fitter, we found a pair that fit and was even on sale! I, elated, and PP, resigned, we arrived with 45 minutes to skate. On inspection, however, the blades were odd looking, and on googling, we confirmed that they were not sharpened, and the sharpener only to arrive this evening!

Yet another reason I continue to advocate for second hand purchases! But next time, and now with skates sharpened ( hers are way nicer than mine now) we are ready!😊
