Dear Sydney Winter Festival,

I have a few bones to pick with you about my ice skating excursion yesterday. Firstly, why would you oversell such a small ice rink, charging 20 bucks each so we can all trip over each other (which in ice skates, can be quite dangerous). Secondly, the ice was really wet, and small children (yes, small children) kept falling over. Thirdly, where do you suggest I leave my bag and shoes while ice skating? Outside the rink where anyone can take them? Or carry them with me so that in the case that I fall over (see point 2) I will really hurt myself? And finally, what was with the music that was blaring through the speakers. It’s Sunday, 75% of us are hungover, can we please have some Burt Bacharach or something similarly soothing?

I’m not usually such a hater, but it was poorly organised, overcrowded and annoying to go ice skating yesterday.

But regardless, here is a happy snap of Amelia and I holding on to each other so we don’t fall.

Did you know that Sydney has a Winter Festival? Well now you do! And guess what, this year they are having the first ice rink in the city for 50 years! It’s going to be just like Mad Square, except it won’t really be that cold, and it definitely won’t be snowing.

But what the hell! It’s a chance to get my Blair Waldorf on, a chance to wear gloves and scarfs and pretend I live in Europe of NYC, a chance to fall on my ass in front of other well dressed strangers! It’s going to be fab! You can book your tickets online here.
