Tuesday morning, I managed to arise at 7:30am to see Canada's girls in the Women's World Championship beat Italy in a close game 8-7.
Don's massager from eBay finally arrived, so he was delighted to get it, except now he needs a European 220 adapter.
At 4pm the girls beat Switzerland, the world's defending champs, who had not lost in 42 games, by a score of 8-5. Later, our Oilers won a squeaker that they almost flubbed again.
Wednesday I did get up at 6am to watch Canada's Team Homan beat Japan round-robin 7-2 in a game that was much closer than the score indicated.
I see that on the Pixels.com site where I sell my photos that my page has had 1,761,751 visitors. Not bad....
Team Homan then had a strangely tight match against Turkiye (their spelling) until they broke it open with a score of 5 with the last rock to win 9-5. Don was again here to enjoy that action.
I was really into a book "Night Fall" by Nelson DeMille who also wrote "The General's Daughter" which is a good movie with John Travolta. I love the main character, written in the first person, who is witty, smart and irreverent. I read late into the evening while the movie Gandhi was playing in the background.
It snowed, and this continued into this morning, most of the day and into this evening.
I was up at 7:03am, turned on the curling to see that Canada had an 8-0 lead, all on stolen points,.. watched Estonia make 2 points, then I returned to bed. Canada won 9-4.
At 4pm Team Homan took out New Zealand 9-2 to stand alone undefeated atop the standings. 2 more games tomorrow against Scotland and Korea could be interesting! Then it is the playoffs where we should have a bye into the semi-finals.
So, here we have the first day of spring which is not so bad at -3 with snow flurries. Hopefully the forecasters will be wrong again and the warmth will return sooner than Tuesday.
I finished the book and have another named The Lion by Nelson DeMille as well. Don says that he has about 5 more of them.
The Oilers are playing stupidly again tonight... but they made up for it in the third period with a big win.
I hope you enjoy the pictures. That was the day’s excitement.
