Rollin', rollin', rollin'...

Roller disco was fab.  Managed the hour without falling over.  Good exercise too, and for £3.95 with a free hot dog and carton of juice thrown in, I for one felt it was a bargain!  As I whizzed (okay then, teetered) around, I lost myself in a world of disco music and naff 1980's films.  I do recall, a few years ago, throwing away a couple of hours watching one terrible roller disco film, which starred Linda Blair of the Exorcist fame.  As happy as she was on her wheels, I'm afraid she'll always terrify the living daylights out of me.  Sorry pet.

   

Rewarded ourselves with a pint or three at the lovely Cumberland Arms pub in Ouseburn afterwards.  I love how one of the rooms is a cosy drinking library; everyone looked very content with their pints and their books, the fire crackling in the corner.  One man was sitting on his own, happily chortling away, with a pint of ale in one hand and a book called "Balderdash and Piffle" in the other.  He was in kinks.  I must read that book.

Fact of the day:  Roller skating burns 350-600 calories per hour!
