Off to the game

Yep, Leicester city are in action again today and for us long suffering supporters it’s another snowy, cold and windswept day in the East Midlands.

LCFC
Balders….thats me

Our visitors today are from Wolverhampton, just an hour up the road.

Here’s hoping for a good day.

Update:

Well, we were well and truly slaughtered today, not sure our team even turned up. Met a nice chap from Columbia who had travelled all the way from there to watch us play. I feel really sorry for him. Hey ho. You win some and you lose some, today just wasn’t our day.

Happy days everyone

Skiing

What could you try for the first time?

I could try it but I have absolutely no intention of doing so. I’ve never wanted to, as breaking legs for fun doesn’t feature high on my want to do list.

The whole scene around skiing puts me off. I’ve seen relations preparing for trips and the equipment required, the passes and the transport, you name it, it just seems excessive for going down a snowy hill on a pair of sticks.

The snobbery and elitism around it also, does not appeal to me, as a sport accessible to everyone, it certainly is not.

So. As the prompt states, it certainly is something I could try for the first time, but for me it’s a big no.

Apologies if you are a regular skier, it’s just not for me.

Have a great day.

Thoughts 4/4/24

What Olympic sports do you enjoy watching the most?

That’s easy for me. I love the endurance sports such as the marathon and long distance cycling.

It’s amazing how the bodies of these athletes adapt to and endure such extremes of physical demand.

I’ve tried it in the past and the last Marathon I ran in was the London Marathon back in 2002. Nowadays for me it’s an endurance sport just getting moving in the morning, never mind breaking in to a trot.

Happy days all, stay safe.
