This is not how I expected to find the skating rink at the end of January!

The rink is done!
The warm weather has very quickly reduced the rink to a large mushy puddle. We’ve still tried to play a few games but we need to use a ball, preferably one that doesn’t absorb water.

The backyard rink may yet survive one more game!
But probably not much more than that considering they are only forecasting lows of 1 degree this week.
