No more outdoor skating

It's good to be able to see the lights reflected in the river again after dark; I had missed them. The wind having dropped since Sunday makes the water smoother, therefore all the more mirror-like. From our bank the brightest light shining into the Rideau is the floodlight by the Stanley Park field-house, which serves the purpose of illuminating the neighbourhood skating rink in the chilly season. Time to switch this off now. The rink has reverted to grass.

On the wider stretches of grass between Riverside Drive and the Rideau near the Riverside Hospital and Billings Bridge, numerous Canada geese are now congregating (I rode past them this morning).
