What events do you see yourself competing in (even winning?)

I’d be a sure fire winner at the Extended Hop Race when the zip gets stuck on my second boot.
The Open Downhill -whether on a tea tray or just down the stairs might also be one for me.
Finally the DGC ‘s Toys and Lego on the carpet slalom (especially in bare feet)

Curling.
Years of sweeping practice!

Probably the high jump. Grandchildren hide and jump out at me screeching Boo every opportunity they can just to see me jump.

Years ago, high jump, now curling.

The Quick Nip to the Shops

The dash to get the washing in. Penalties for any dropped pegs. Claim a world record if you finish before the rain starts.

The moguls (the bumpy one).

Previous experience for qualification-
Driving half a mile on a flat back tyre last week, wondering where the noise was coming from?

The fast sprint to the loo.

The Open Downhill -whether on a tea tray or just down the stairs might also be one for me.
I hold the world record but I'm happy for anyone to beat me!

To digress slightly, apparently the Winter Olympics have been disrupted by snow ☃️☃️☃️
Yes, snow at the Winter Olympics - whoulda thunk it? ??⛷??⛸

The Big Air- especially after beans.

Figure skating on the ice outside the garden gate. Poor style points due to fall.

I'm very good at dodge the lava with DGS2 age 3. Maybe not so good at Winter Olympics ? My poor couch, chairs and cushions!

I have a real yen to learn curling.

I hold the gold medal for the Procrastination Slump. Anyone wishing to challenge me will have to wait until . . .

I'd love a 3 generation ski race smile

Uphill slalom -life feels like that sometime sad

Night time loo rush whilst not treading on the dog. I could win that any night.
