Am enjoying hugely watching people doing daft things on skis, men in rubber suits and pretty snowy scenery.

The summer Olympics is about going fast/being skilful. The winter one seems to be about cheating death.

May I ask if someone can please tell me when the ice dancing final is? I think that might be something I could turn the TV on for and peer at!! :)

In my Amazon Alexa weekly e-mail today, it suggests asking Alexa for information about specific winter Olympic sports, so I said, 'Alexa, when is the ice dancing?' and it starts on Monday at 1:0 a.m.!! That will be useful.

Yes, i saw that, Susan. You will need to ask Alexa when the BBC rerun is, but i don't know if she can be that specific.
