Which numpty misread the timetable and thought that the competition started at 09:30 this morning, as it has on all the other days? Of course, it started at 10:00, and we could have lingered over breakfast another 30 minutes. Not that it actually mattered, as it meant we were able to watch the synchro teams rehearsing. And very good they were, too. One of them - a Finnish team, I think - is was made up of all men.
The reason why we had wanted to be there first thing, rather than later in the day as we have done all week, was that we wanted to see the free dances, which were lovely. Then there were various friends skating, so we stayed to watch them. We did pop out for a leg-stretch during one resurface,
but lunch was a sandwich from the little café. During the afternoon, I also went out briefly for an ice cream, but other than that we stayed in the rink until the end of the men's masters IV and V, which was the last of what we wanted to see. And thus we called it a competition. Tomorrow we start home, but it is a long weekend, the weather is lovely, and I really hope we can find somewhere to park up for the night tomorrow and Sunday!
