Sport, Sport and more Sport!

What a brilliant time of year this is! Not only do we get the Winter Olympics, we also get The Six Nations (which may be better in my opinion!)

However, it is also a great annoyance, as i didn't get very much work done over the weekend, as i watched 3 rugby games (well 2 and a half, i slept through the first half of the England/Italy game!) and then i watched the Couples short figure skating in the olympics, as well as the qualifier for the Ski jump, and the Luge! On Sunday i watched the Scotland Wales rugby match, we played very well, and Wales shouldnt be too proud! I'm sure i watched some sort of olympics too! Then today, i watched the last two stones of the Womens curling! which we won, 5 stones to us and 4 to Switzerland!

I also realised that when the olympics (or another big sporting event!) is on, we pick up all this useful knowledge and say things that we normally would never say, well we do in my house anyways! Like i now know roughly how they score figure skating (its not out of 6 anymore, tis far more complicated!) i also find myself having conversations with Stuart (my bro) about how many stones we have in the curling, and the sweeping techniques of Rona and her crew! Makes me laugh anyways!

Happy Valentines to you all! Hope you have a fun filled day (with or without a special someone! ;D )

"Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. Love does not demand its own way. Love is not irritable, and it keeps no record of when it has been wronged. It is never glad about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. Love will last forever." 1 Corinthians 12:4- 8

The luge is quite interesting! i asked my dad the other day what would happen if you didn't steer at all. Before he could give me a detailed answer our guy Mark Haddon (cant remember if thats his name or not!)fell off his Luge (is it called a luge?!), so now i know what happens if you don't steer!
Its a shame that you like curling because i think you got beaten by Canada the other day!

Useless fact for you, Great Britain has only won 9 gold medals in total at all of the Winter Olympics combined! However we have very recently allowed the winners of the curling in 1924 to be known as Olympic Champions, as up until now that particular game was considered a presentation game.
