But falling on ice!!

We have these ice-rinks in the city, and while they look cosy and sweet (there is obviously gløgg to be had!!), I cannot get over the fact; I may fall on that hard ice and that looks painful!
(And what if I break something!)

On the other hand; learning to ski in my late 30's and getting totally bitten by it, yes yes yes!!

Cold weather activities, they are all a bit mad if you think about it.

Don’t come skiing in New England, then - too often if you fell, you’d be falling on ice!

i disagree... always the need for another coat or jacket... see also, boots

And gloves.. and socks.. And long-john's .. and..

have you ever seen a chicken ice skate?

No, but now I want to!

...... Googling: how to teach a chicken to ice skate.

 

[orangecurious]

do the city rinks not have those penguins thingies that kids use? you could try with one of those.

not a real penguin, obviously. although they can skate better than a chicken can

So you are telling me: wear extra padded outerwear, check.. I got that in a box somewhere..

Hmm.. maybe the big ones in the center does, they are not that common here though.. we learn it the hard way..

And now my mind is flying out of a cute tangent, ice skating happy penguins.. awwwwww!

But.. seriously, someone should turn that into a movie!!

Lou happily posed for photos after the last race at Oslo (if you know...). She also posts great stuff on insta with her dog for each race. Hoping she gets the overall this season. Glad the french fans have stopped the "louuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" chant as it sounded like booing!! now they go with the "lou lou lou" one.

I have seen some of her photos!! She really seems like a great person with a good heart!

Oh, had not noticed that the fans have changed their cheering/chanting. Yes, "loooouuuuuuu" did sound like booing!

*watches the tumbleweed as we talk of biathlon*

anyway... i will still cheer for team Norge

 

[metrifonate]

I think the bi bit could cause interest but not the athalon.

Haha, well.. it is a niche sport!

For biathlon, oh I definitely will cheer for my scandi sisters and brothers.. that goes for all snow sports actually.

When it comes to sailing, tennis.. usually football.. and some other sports, I would cheer on Denmark, unless we had no participants.

So this might sound very family like, but: when us Nordics compete internally..I want to crush them.. in a loving way obviously, but I want to win!

Internationally?! I almost do not mind which country I cheer for, we are all family after all.
