Umm. Is it? I would not have guessed it from most of the trailer. Looks more like 50 Shades of Bronte.

Plus a friend of ours, who is coming with emason.

Friday lunch works for me too.

I loved the JGP in Lake Placid in 2019, and very much liked the town. Under ordinary circumstances, I and more than a few other Canadians would love to go. But alas, it's not happening for most of us, and the event is only a few hours away from me.:wuzrobbed

Not sure if this one has been posted yet, but this is my must see this fall! Hope it goes to 11! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=95d_hSfGO88

Definitely in for that. Maybe @patc can scout out likely places for us, as she is more-or-less local to the area?

Probably not going to worlds, but I was just in Prague. One nice thing is that if you are 65 or over, the public transit is free!

Well, I thought it was lovely. YMMV.

The arena for Milan worlds had 8 toilet stalls total for the women in the entire venue ( and probably only 4 for the men). And many of them didn't work as the system was so overloaded. It was often faster to leave the venue and walk the 10-15 minutes each way to the mall and use the facilities...

We have our second major storm in 4 days. At least another 30 cm today- it's not done yet. We haven't started digging out yet. Only Rani the husky is happy with this state of affairs.

Not sure, but I guess she knows her Tolkien!

Is anyone planning on going to Saskatoon? I haven't missed a SC since 2002, other than a pandemic one, but the arena isn't downtown, and I'm not sure where would be best to stay re transit and such.

Has anyone heard any rumours about the SC location for 2025?

mr c and I will be in Vienna in late March. We managed to get tickets to Don Giovanni at the Vienna Opera House. It will be his first opera. Looking forward to it!

Oh yes, there were royal connections, and they were both Earls' daughters and thus had the courtesy title of "Lady" , but they were still commoners. Only actual title holders, (peers) are not. And in some continental countries a peerage title was still not considered good enough to marry...
