I got bored

Post by vkrouverk » Friday 6 June 2008, 19:40

As subject says, I got bored with missing snow and decided to redecorate my apartment. For wallpaper I chose following one:

What do you think about it?
Of course, as football EC starts tomorrow, I might postpone my redecoration for 3 weeks. Wish you all ejoyable tournament (especially for swiss and austrians)!

And if you are really bored, you can try to solve this puzle together.
Anyway this will require quite nice wall to set it up, size is 360*250cm

Puzzle? On Friday evening? you gotta be kidding me?
Anyway, tried it:
250 cm: check.
360 cm: damn, my tape runs out at 3 meters. I'll buy longer one tomorrow and try again :)

Super cool wallpaper, Vahur! :bravo: :D

Yes, tonight the EC football begins with Switzerland vs Czech Republic, and Portugal vs Turkey!
It's going to be crazy in the Swiss and Austrian towns for the next 3 weeks!

Haha, I was so bored for past 7 months!

Now winter has come to New Zealand... :wink:

I live 45 mins to a major ski field (yeah, the proximity to ski field was the deciding factor for my job selection :lol:)

Now, I can't wait to try out my swoard... :)

Hmmm...i do not know who is more lucky :-) guy who have winter when we have summer, or guy who live close to year-round ski resort :-) I would ask that second guy do some turns for us in front of camera :-) but this guy already promised to present this for us in autumn&winter ( but not said which year )

Thanks guys!

We had snowstorm for 2 weeks...

Looks like it will be a fantastic season this time, not to mention I live about 45 mins away from the ski field that is probably most suitable for extremecarving in New Zealand! It's called Turoa and it has a wide, black groomed run, not as long as the one in Zinal, of course :wink:

Hopefully I can perfect my backside turn this season.... :D

Thanks! Though don't care much about King's position, as I prefer republic as state formation. However, on second thought if I could exchange half of kingdom for one good board, then I'd reconsider my position :D
Right now it's slow season here so hopefully nobody minds if I bother you with more pics. Not carving-related, but these pics were taken in Zinal to show beautiful scenery there, so hopefully I get forgiveness from admins :wink:
