Any plans for the weekend?

[Sternbetrachter]

being as lazy as I can be

you?

[Chris]

Not too much. Had some errands to run yesterday. Housework today.

[Sternbetrachter]

sounds like lots of fun stuff

[Chris]

Housework? Not really fun. The shopping yesterday had an element of fun. Watched figure skating this afternoon. Quite enjoyed that.

[Sternbetrachter]

ever done figure skating yourself?
and I was sarcastic about the housework being fun stuff

[Chris]

No. I broke my wrist after I fell down when skating when I was 6. It was a pond across a field that was behind our backyard. Everybody else had gone home for supper, but I was having fun and ignored my mother's calls. Making my way home on my own wasn't much fun, then there was a drive to the hospital. It kind of put me off skating.

[Sternbetrachter]

makes sense that you aren't too fond of it anymore
there's always the image that Canadians are fanatic about hockey ... with you not skating anymore, that image is kinda ruined for me now

[Chris]

Sorry to burst your bubble. For the most part though, Canadians are obsessed with hockey. Kind of like football/soccer in Europe.

[Sternbetrachter]

oh thank God! you had me worried for a moment
