knowing right from left
knowing right from wrong xcan be tricky, but knowing which is your right and which is your left even trickier.
esther came up with this great trick for remembering and we decided to share it with you here in case you need to teach anyone else (particularly school children) how to remember which side is left and which side is right.
esther made this up (at least she claims she did). you start by putting your hands in front of you with your thumbs pointing towards the middle and your first finger pointing in the air, like so.
you then look at your own hands and the one which forms an ‘L’ shape is the left hand one. brilliant !

where to go curling
the place we went curling was Fenton’s Rink and it was most excellent. you must go with a group of friends and have a go.

an actual olympic gold medal
i’m unlikely to ever own one of these:
primarily because it was won at an event in the past and was awarded for the women’s curling. an event i didn’t take part in:
Debbie Knox won it instead:
cleaning and curling
curling is a funkypancake sport. not because i’m good at it though, because i’m not.
look at his utility bin.
beyond brushes, which are an essential part of the game, you also get to wear the most fantastic shoes.
initially they looked like normal trainers:
but you can pull the rubber bottom off (called a ‘kipper’) and reveal a super-slippy teflon sole, enabling you to whizz about on the ice like a mad thing
and look at all the other gadgets and gizmos you can get:
