Clutching at Straws

This isn’t from tonight, but this is the routine that won the ice dancing free dance and blew the roof off the house.

It’s official

I know nothing about skating judging.
But neither, it seems, so the judges. That French chick was robbed, ROBBED. More poise and personality than anything in the universe.
But I have just had my mind blown by a Russian girl dancing to Pirates of the Caribbean dressed as fem!Jack Sparrow and I can’t even anymore because blurglevlurgle

Just realised

That every time someone falls they keep doing it right in front of us.
And I keep seeing us on the big screen.
Which means we’re in tv.
I’M ON TVVVVVVVV

In the way of Irish people on holiday, we are sitting next to another Irish contingent, in front of the Irish skater’s mother (who is very excited for her daughter!!). We’re right next to the ice. I got a free biscuit with my tea.
Best.
Day.
Ever.

This beautiful creature is Clara Peters. She’s the first Irish figure skate in history to compete at an international level.
The year I finally get to realise a childhood dream and go to the European Figure Skating Championship, fate has intervened and given me an Irish skater to root for.
I’m so excited I could burst. There is an eight year old girl who used to sit with her mummy and watch Philippe Candeloro who simply cannot believe that I’m about go leave to get a train to meet my mother in Sheffield to see this for real.
I can’t wait.
I’ll see everyone next week. Have a lovely weekend and have lots of stories to tell me when i get back - and prepare yourselves for an overdose of ridiculous figureskating nerdgasms!!!

I will fight you

But there’s two of them and two of us. Should be fine.

Ally doesn’t share. She stole benedict from me. She’ll steal them too.

Noooo, shhhh, I’m sharing now.
