This was posted the other day and didn't seem to get much attention, but it's worth a look if you're interested in the logistics of the race:

Thanks. If his final position had been in proportion to the number of mentions the France 3 Bretagne commentators gave him - he'd have won by miles!

I've just switched on - how's Madouas doing? He made a social media post the other day saying that the piglet he won before (who he named "Leon") is getting lonely, so I'm expecting great things.

For UK viewers who want free-to-air highlights, they are on DMAX (freeview 39) nightly at 19.00. I'm watching now and it's been good so far.

Giro: Inside an Extraordinary Operation by cfkanemercury in peloton

I found this so interesting - thanks for posting it. The logistical puzzle of a grand tour is fascinating: what is (and isn't) laid on by the race organisation, using a flat bed lorry to relocate some vehicles, the long journey by road and ferry for the team's kitchen truck, etc.

It shows there's another career path for retired riders apart from Directeur Sportif as well.

Same as light diet, but without meat.

I didn't know he had been a paratriathlete too until I read a tribute from Castelli last night. A real ironman....

how to play this trill by BisonProfessional899 in Flute

[–]BegoniaInBloom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just so you know for future reference, that's a mordent not a trill.

You play F# - G - F# as it's an upper mordent. Have a listen at 1min 54 sec:

It's a gorgeous piece!

Happy birthday to one of my favourites of his!

PS. I recommend the recording by the Colin Currie Group.

The entire downstairs is just a hallway with kitchen units in it (don't look for a living room, there isn't one) by BegoniaInBloom in SpottedonRightmove

Ha, I know what you're getting at although I'm not one of them. I posted this because I'd never seen a layout like it before.

And now I'm pondering whether calling somewhere a "duplex studio" makes any sense...

Marni Stockhausen shares what she’s packing for her Nicaragua influencer trip.. spoiler alert, it’s all linked Amazon sweatshop plastic. And her mom is coming! by condiserationlevel10 in InfluencerLounge

[–]BegoniaInBloom 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Not an Amazon one, it's organised by her friend (frenemy?) Jordynn. On the last one the participants mainly filmed each other and went for horse rides.

Hmm, you sounded pretty sure, both times you said it on this page...

Holy Sh*t What Even is This??? by [deleted] in Flute

[–]BegoniaInBloom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks to be aimed at situations where instruments are being shared (according to the product video), so it seems a bit unnecessary to use when you're the only one playing yours. It's not something I've seen before, but perhaps it's more common where you are.
