8:36pm: Yes indeed, since due to the Rona Le Tour was postponed to the very end of August (it usually happens mid-July) so it's still going on right now.
Although much to my disappointment I'm still not able to get Phil Ligget's commentary :O( I've tried with VPNs and whatnot, but alas after ten minutes or so watching the dang thing pauses and has to be refreshed to work. Plus it's on a US network so there's like an add break every five minutes, no good. So I've been watching SBS's coverage instead, on the upside they've got a woman commentator now, which has made things a bit more interesting.
In other sporting relating news, this evening is the Russian Test Skates - where the skaters on the national team debut their new programs for the season. Since the Russians take their figure skating seriously this has become a big deal and is still on - with spectators! Hopefully, everyone will come out the other side still healthy. Plus, my favourite pairs team will be skipping it this year and my favourite Russian man decided to retire so that's all a bit a blow.However! My favourite skater of all, Plushy, has taken on two of the top Russian ladies as students so that's very exciting! Of course time zones means this is all on quite late, so I hope I won't regret staying up for it since I'm going to church tomorrow morning with Dad.
Apart from that, there's not much to report, work continues to go well and my apartment continues to be messy :OP and I've just remembered that I'm doing an online course as part of my work and should get on with that.
That's pretty much all I have to report - I kind of hoped to go ice skating this weekend, but then during the week there was a report of a COVID case at the mall where the ice skating rink is. I think it turned out to be a false positive, but it puts you off a bit. I'm a bit concerned that by the time I get back to the rink I'll be so rusty I'll have to start off holding onto the barrier.
On that note, I best be off, my second load of washing will be done soon and then it's figure skating watching time!
See you next time.
