The ice sports cometh!
Nov. 28th, 2020 01:44 pm'Tis the last weekend in November and the cross-country skiing and biathlon world cup races have started. May there be more this season, and preferably fewer false positive coronavirus tests panicking people. It is a nice accompaniment to my attempts to measure up some prints for framing, which I've been putting off for a week because it felt too exhausting. I must admit that the experience is making me realise more why people take them to shops to do it. I may yet do that for the two trickier ones.
In addition to things on skis, this weekend also sees the NHK Trophy of the ice-skating Grand Prix Series, re-tooled into essentially domestic competitions for this season. And possibly not coincidentally, the Yuri!!! on Ice film sequel trailer has finally been released internationally and not just at a random Japanese cinema. It is very short and doesn't actually give me any more confidence that the film will ever arrive, but for 2020 that's almost the equivalent of winning the football pools.
ETA: It turns out that the frame moulding I want to order is out of stock. Oh the irony.
