Oh my, Oxford United awarded a penalty? It feels like it's been about 2 years since we got a league penalty... And we scored.
Big second half this, with a big chance to increase likelihood of avoiding relegation with some results today.

Last night's beer was the Aeronaut Double Hop Hop, very smooth and tasty 8.1% DIPA. If it wasn't towards the end of the season I might have considered it for the curling club bar.

Seems like a sacrilegious remake that I refuse to watch it.

Heads up: the National Theatre uploaded the full recording of their recent performance of The Importance of Being Earnest on their YouTube. Superb production of one of my favourites.

It was in the 70's F a couple days ago. It's 42 F and snowing this afternoon.

Last night's curling, also another weird game. Finally had an end that wasn't a force but it took a while, and stealing 4 or 5 in the 6th end certainly helped, especially as we gave up a steal of 3 in the first end.

I was thinking the same... But also, probably not noticed lol

I got my posts shortened on my conch and faux rook, but had to sadly retire my snug as it showed signs of migrating, a year into healing. I might give it another go in the summer on my other ear, but it's definitely not an easy piercing to heal :(

My youngest latest crochet commission was this little frog which was really cute. She's got a bunch of small projects lined up for friends but is looking for more commissions as she wants to buy a few things, so let me know if there's something you'd like her to make :)

The ice machine at the club bar is broken again.
The irony is so much ice at the club, but we're bringing in a couple bags of ice for the bar...

It's a little crazy.
Gives the snow banks a chance to melt though which is nice

New shoes felt good, but very green slider disc, needs a lot more breaking in to get up to speed but felt good to sweep in them

Peculiar game last night in what felt like a first game in forever. We weren't trying to set this line up like in the Brier, and only one point was scored with the hammer the whole game. Gave up a couple steals in the first 2, forced, then we stole singles and a double in the 7th for the win.

2026 Montana's Brier - Final YouTube video by TSN

Enjoying the Brier final before I curl, which seems like it's been a while. Finally get to break in my new curling shoes which is exciting too.

Getting to the business end of the 10th end of the semi final at the Brier and this is a crazy setup...

Foggy early morning drive to Foxborough for dance comp. Youngest isn't dancing today, that's team life apparently. Regardless, so many cars driving without lights on including a bunch of cops.

Breakfast at the Commons Eatery and it was perfectly fine. Coffee cake French toast and meat omelette.

If you're pushing the rock, you're sweeping solo.
Great to see a rock move.

Managed to escape from dance comp and grab dinner at a local sushi spot which was pretty good. We're back at it for another hour plus awards. Our dancer was done 5hrs ago, but needed to stay for team awards.

It wouldn't be dance comp without finding a brewery to sneak out and grab a bite from... Station One - Shovel Town Brewery in Foxborough was good.
