You know, after more than 5 years living here i got used to this thing of not having almost any national holidays. But the 5 of May not being one of them, i just find it really weird... i mean, it's not even like celebrating independence from centuries ago or some random religious stuff, it's the day you were liberated from nazis, the most evil thing ever! Hope they eventually change it to a yearly national holiday :)

 

(On the other hand, the May 4th two minutes of silence is actually impressive, really nice tradition)

I entirely agree about 5 May! We have a free Monday for Easter and Pentecost of all things, like anyone really knows what on earth Pentecost is even about :d

 

I'm fine with having them as free Mondays, but 5 May is much more logical indeed.

 

On the other hand, it feels like every other week Bruna tells me this or that doesn't work in Brazil either because it's the umpteenth holiday or because "people are free on Thursday so nobody will work on Friday just for one day" :lol:

Here the cake for tomorrow morning is in the oven (my dad usually makes one with my sister, but she's working these days, so I helped him a little :p), after lunch we'll move on to the final parts of tonight's dinner. There's already a whole bowl of meat (deer) marinating in the fridge since yesterday and the smell coming out of the fridge is super promising :wub: 

 

After lunch (just a regular lunch) we'll prepare that and the side dishes and such for tonight :d 

 

Tomorrow we're at family all day, no idea what the menu will be then. Although afterwards we go eat with my sister and her boyfriend, with one of these sets :p

26 December is entirely free for us this year, no appointments/obligations or anything :cheer:

    • Unfortunate, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm looking forward to Thursday evening, when the team captain's meeting is over and we have our very first World Cup start list of the season. Always a cool moment to see who's there and everything  
    • Today I unpacked some of the boxes in which we have put my way too many books to move to our house, and I came across these beauty's I hadn't seen for a while     Absolutely recommended, tough to get for a decent price, but they are such an interesting read with lots of very interesting little stories! Still looking for at least 1900, 1904 and 1906, but not really in the right moment to spend money on that now, so the wait goes on  
    • Which I guess is part of why unfortunately 'our' first wild card attempt of the season was rejected last week  
    • The next chapter in the Krasnobaeva saga is upon us.   Looks like  Armenia have cut ties with her after only a few weeks. A person from their Federation has said, that they won't continue the relationship, because of her unprofessional and rude attitude towards the coaches and other officials. That includes: - having no respect to the coaches and their advise; - training without any motivation; - stops doing the routine and throws objects without any reason; - just lays on the floor and ignores the music.   When this was escalated with her mother, she mentioned that "Elvira has a strong temper and she was the same in Bulgaria and they tolerated her". Which of course is complete BS. If anyone attempted this shit here, they would be thrown out immediately.   And now  are wanting from her mother to return all finances they gave them, which she is refusing, so they will probably sue them. They will also inform other RG Federations about this situation, so they don't hire them.   My 2 cents on this is most likely Krasnobaeva was happy in BG and was forced out by her mother, so now she is sabotaging the move and be done with it.
    • Honestly Ruka is my favourite World Cup event of the whole season. Everybody is there. Later on there is always someone who skips one weekend or another . Not everybody takes part in Tour de ski. But here everyone shows up.
