No broken Bones!! Phew!!

Last night was Rollerblading night for Hume Group Scouts, to celebrate World Scout Day. Steven decided we ALL should skate! The skating bit wasnt an issue for me... been there, done that.... my concern was the potential broken bones which I could inflict on myself (again.... been there....done that!)

The great news is that no bones were broken in the filming of these pictures!

Tom went extremely well prepared with his full safety kit of helmet, knee pads, elbow pads etc. He took a couple of spills, but not too many and after a few goes around holding the edge he was confident enough to skate on his own- which they tell me was a huge progression from his attempts at rollerblading last year!

For someone who spends so much time balancing on such a thin piece of timber as a balance beam, Meg didnt take so well to the blades! She spent a large amount of time on the floor and is going to have some spectacular bruises! But she never gave up! Everytime she went down she was straight back up again! And in the end she had a ball!

It was a great night, and I am very pleased that we all made it back in one piece seeing as Bon and I fly to Sydney tomorrow morning! Steven had instructions of where everything was to pack for me if I got held up with broken bones in hospital! The only real injury sustained was a very corked thigh which occured "behind play" and involved my thigh and the metal edge of a bench seat! The bruising hasnt come out yet- but I think its gonna be a whopper when it does!
