An incredibly beautiful morning.........hoarfrost.....cold as only Canada can do it..... too cold to snow (how is that possible?), so she puts a coat of white on everything......the 'roadside vegetation' (weeds!) sparkling....trees sparkling, horses & buildings sparkling....magic.
I had a library lesson this morning ..with Jodi...because I am volunteering for her next week (OMG...work!!??!!). It was fun....books, kids, more books...sorry , did I say it was work?! I am really looking forward to it...will have Vin / Janice's gorgeous Yr 1/2 class...11 kids....sorry did I say work?! |
Girls watching boys watching girls watching boys etc.........what hockey is really about.....oh yeah ......& drinking hot chocolate! |
Okay, then after school.....off to the local hockey brawl....I mean game..! It was brutal & beautiful. The way these guys can skate is something to behold... Their skates are not cumbersome extensions of their feet...just part of their bodies, they flip, turn, tumble, regain equilibrium.......and keep going back into the fray!?!. As I said .....beautiful & brutal. It was mesmorising....even the ref's dance on the ice.....They are dressed in stripey, matching uniforms, had strangely similiar rubenesque builds and resemble tweedledee's.......but boy... can they skate! I suppose they have to, or wear a puck in the head?! By the way when they start a play in hockey, its called a face off.....not a puck off?!!!
