Ice-skating

Sunday the weather was nice... Nice enough to bike around campus. 





However, one must never trust the weather too much because here, in the Netherlands, it can change very fast. The picture above has the best description of how quick the sun can shine and the rain fall.

On Monday the research group where I am working on my thesis had its monthly 'get together'. It was dinner followed by ice-skating. For a first timer, I didn't do so bad... I fell only once :) I had some difficulties at first in maintaining my balance but my supervisor helped me out by crossing arms with me. In the end, I even went one time around the big rink. I had loads of fun even though every muscle in my body was contracted while I was on the skates... 



I really want to repeat the experience in a near future but I think I'd like to have someone who is experienced very close by. Still, I have a video to remind me of my fast evolution on ice-skates :)
