He saw the weather written on the pane
as he buckled on his gaiters,
shouldering the hammer to walk the lane
spooked with his breath, to the pond
at the extremity of his acres…

And so my first ever #curling #bonspiel comes to an end. It's been a blast, but an exhaustive blast 😅

Akureyri Curling Club - Ice Cup: I hope to be back some day, and thank you for hosting ❤️

I've tried the fermented shark, which people seems to dislike, but compared to the damn sour rams testicles, the shark was pure joy 😅

I started curling last winter and this weekend I played in my first bonspiel! We got knocked out after 3 games in A bracket. Made it to the quarter finals and took a team of club founders to extra ends, felt good! 🥌
