Ice smoothing as a competition? Someone would probably invent a machine to do it.

The rhythm of so many aspects of one's life (not just physical) is deeply disrupted by these kinds of loss.

I'm so sorry. 🫂 I wish you smooth travels and all the ease there can be at such a time.

And on the subject of figure skating music, I also enjoyed the 90s theme for the Rhythm Dance for the Ice Dance, and loved the British pairs' music choice and their thematically appropriate costumes. It looked like they were having fun with it, and good for them.

Love Sakamoto's choice of music, perfect for a farewell tour as the commentators tell me this is. Gorgeous performance all round.
The Korean and Japanese teams appear to be having the most fun in the box when they're waiting to get their final scores. #WinterOlympics #TeamFigureSkating

Sigh. I love a coffee sponge and coffee buttercream, but they're always stuffed with walnuts.
(For anyone thinking of saying we can just omit the walnuts, yes, we know that, thanks. A whole sponge cake would go to waste at home, so all I want is to have a slice when out for coffee/tea and cake.)

That must have been scary.

I bow to your knowledge. (Even if the Beeb disagrees.)

But then the wikipedia article doesn't even mention the best appearance of a Zamboni on film, which is in Ice Princess, with Michelle Trachtenberg and Joan Cusack.

Apparently it's used both generically and is a brand, according to wikipedia.

Catching up with some of the team figure skating, and the commentator has just mentioned she's never seen a Zamboni on the ice in its home country before! The other commentator pointed out they don't know what brand it is, because this is the Beeb and other ice smoothing machines are available.

I was most surprised by the English teacher acting as if this book were somehow revelatory. It made me wonder if he'd never been on playground duty. Or noticed anything that happened in the registration form I was in.

It wasn't for 'O' levels - it was just English class in third year.

I had to read the book at secondary school and the class was given the exercise of writing a poem about it. Enough said.
