We're on wheels

It's so easy to watch telly, in the comfort of your own home and nod enthusiastically when someone says things like, 'WOW that looks fun', and 'We should do that!'. 'Yeah! Wouldn't that be brilliant!' you agree....from the comfort of your sofa.

It's safe to do that – no-one's going to challenge you,  after all you'll never actually have to prove yourself...will you?

At least that's what I thought when The Husband and I watched Cesar Millan (Sky 3's The Dog Whisperer) roller blading with a pack of dogs down the road!. (You know where this is going don't you). Keen to give our dogs an active, wonderful and fun life, The Husband cleverly put 2 and 2 together and before I even knew where I was I was trying on Rollerblades in the middle of Sports Direct!

Me: 'Are you mad? I'm going to break my neck!'

Husband: 'You won't! You'll get the hang of it...you used to be a dancer – balance is your thing!'

Me: 'That was over a decade ago! My thing now honey is self preservation! I can't even stand up' (as I lose balance and grab a passing spotty 16 year old sales boy...er...person)

Husband laughs as he tries his skates on

Husband: 'It'll be fun' as he attempts  to stand up. (Think large spider having a panic attack)

Me: 'This is SO not going to work', I'm now laughing so hard, I've inadvertently crashed into the rack of Man United Sports shirts.

In disbelief, we leave the shop...roller blades in arms...oh my god!

So are you going to blog the outcome of the skates when you included the puppies?? Presumably `The Husband` had you skating up and down the road for practise??
