btw: Just to make it clear for the fans from central Europe. There should be a new tour of Czech singer Helena Vondrackova, longtime friend of Josef Sabovcik. It starts on the 20 Septembre in Bratislava,21 in Kosice and then in many other Czech cities (dates aren't known yet). Marina and Gwendal were mentioned in the local press as well as Ekaterina Gordeeva and Ilia Kulik. The skaters should skate on Helena's song witch they were /will be offered to choose... So all in all,I always liked COI,but this time,I wish nothing is realized ;D

A quick update... Sorry for the bullet point list but I don't have time to write one of my magna carta length reports. Spoke with Gwendal today after class. Keep in mind that "after class" is >20h00 (8:00 PM) France time. He told me that he had already eaten dinner and completed his homework. ;D Practice for the Aubagne show went well. Nikita will not be skating with them nor singing in the show. Gwendal had heard that he was singing 'somewhere' but it wasn't at the skating show. He said that he heard the song in which Marina sings. He said it was a "nice song". They have been practicing at the Charlemagne. I jokingly asked if he was still using the "2001 skates". He is. He quickly added that he has new boots but he hasn't put the blades on them yet. This prompted a discussion between us on the correct placement of skate blades on skate boots. I didn't realize that it was such a difficult and precise activity. Gwendal has a LOT of cherries at his house. Mom and Dad have made everything imaginable except cherry pie (it must be an American dessert). Gwendal said that there are still a lot of cherries on the trees but there's no time to harvest them. I joked that he can leave those cherries for the birds. Soon, his blackberries will ripen. I immediately said, "Oh! I love blackberrries!" Gwendal said, "So do I." Muriel came to see his new house. They spent a nice afternoon together. I asked if Olivier is practicing alone. Gwendal said, "Yes." We both commented that it was going to be difficult for them to be at peak form for the upcoming skating season. Marina was already in Aubagne doing some promotional appearances. Gwendal will drive there tomorrow.
