Ironically while I watch Olympic skating: trying to decide if I go to the rink tomorrow to practise my rubbish forward inside edge, or if I’m off the whole sport.

Still thinking about Ilia Malinin, who of all the people in the Western world who didn’t have a serious bereavement overnight is having the worst morning this morning. Has class though for all the wanky-first-year-slash-Miles-Vorkosigan vibes! Going straight to hug Shaidorov was classy.
