Back to the rink
Off again to Macquarie Ice Rink this morning. Temperature was down to 4ºC tho it felt lower! We arrived a little later than usual as ‘Sk8r Grrl’ decided she was too tired to get up… pah!!
Still, her coach, Galina Pachin, was even later. Didn’t ask her why she was late as there is no lesson on Monday Mornings and if she wants to come late… I’m not arguing. 
Karmah wasn’t at her best today really though I thought she’d practiced fairly consistently. However when she got off the ice Galina decided to tell her off… as she does from time to time… for standing around on the ice *watching* instead of *moving*. She’s not going to make up a written practice schedule for her to go through each session until she gets it ‘right’.
As you will appreciate, Karmah went off in a sulk because she was tired and hungry… and hates being told off by Galina!
Hard luck I say. After all, if the rest of us are willing to make the effort then so must she! If she actually practices properly there is a good chance she could succeed at the sport even tho she’s got a long way to go.
