Shucks Lev, I am blushing so hard you can probably feel the heat radiating off me from there. Thank you! Plenty of other lovely stuff as always and yes I have of course got sucked into guessing the year. Again.
The Finnish Hobby Horse Championship made me snort. All it needed was members of the crowd accompanying the participants with the sound of coconut shells clip clopping.
I remember a photo of the swan from a book I had as a teenager, The AA Treasures of Britain, one of those popular compendiums an intellectual would scoff at, but hey, shows you can learn stuff anywhere. Of course it was just a photo - so the video of it moving is something else! 🙏

Great post. I love a good skip (jump rope) so seeing their skills puts me in awe. Who knew about the swan, avian curveball that.
