(more…)Book Discussion Review: Small Great Things
review by Wendy Powell
18 Apr 2023. Good Reads gives this book a 4.35, and suggests that “With incredible empathy, intelligence, and candor, Jodi Picoult tackles race, privilege, prejudice, justice, and compassion—and doesn’t offer easy answers.”
The book is certainly challenging, not only raising difficult topics, but challenging our own beliefs and prejudices.
Curling was a real Challenge!
review by Mala Raman
30 Mar 2023. The association Curling Club Tilburg brought us the opportunity to learn the basics of curling and we will have a chance to play and put our newly acquired skills to the test.
For our maximum comfort and enjoyment, we were all dressed warmly since the temperature inside the rink was around 12 degrees. Additionally, we were wearing flexible pants and shoes with good grip. Surprisingly, because of the ice preparation ahead of time, the ice was actually not that slippery and we could walk normally on the ice using a bit of caution.
We had a whole portion of the ice to ourselves for about one hour. First, we were split into groups where each group had their own “sheet” (lane of ice) where we received some basic instructions. Then we were set off on our adventure to conquer the stones and the ice. It was a lot harder to get the right form and glide on the ice than the experienced players made it look!
