Let the record show that my feet hurt just looking at this photo.

I finally invested in some nice skates a few years back. result- I still don’t enjoy skating. it still hurts. nothing compares to the amazing feeling of taking one’s skates off. I wish I enjoyed it.. used to as a kid. but now, it is slow torture. not even worth it for the Beaver Tail. well…maybe.

Softec skates from figure eight in Ottawa are highly recommended!

I have pretty much those exact same skates, in exactly the same condition. I keep saying I’m going to buy new ones, but I only skate once or twice a season, so it never seems worth it. I feel so un-Canadian :).

You and me need to go out together and buy skates Lynn! It might be the only way we get them this year. :|
My name is Andrea and I live in the Westboro area of Ottawa with my husband Mark and our dog Piper who is kind of a big deal on Instagram. We also have two human offspring: Emma (24) and Sarah (22). During the day I work as a writer at the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre. I am a longtime Ottawa blogger and I've occupied this little corner of the WWW since 1999. The Fishbowl is my whiteboard, water cooler, and journal, all rolled into one. I'm passionate about healthy living, arts and culture, travel, great gear, good food, and sharing the best of Ottawa. I also love vegetables, photography, gadgets, and great design.
