Re: Matthias Mayer Monday @ TDD - C&C
Matthias Mayer (born 9 June 1990) is an Austrian retired World Cup alpine ski racer and Olympic champion.
Born in Afritz am See in Carinthia, Mayer made his World Cup debut in Sestriere in February 2009. His best discipline is super-G. After several top ten finishes, his first World Cup podium came at Kitzbühel in a super-G in January 2013.
At the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, Mayer won the downhill to become the seventh Austrian gold medalist in the 18th edition of the event. Joining him on the podium at Rosa Khutor were Christof Innerhofer of Italy and Kjetil Jansrud of Norway. Immediately after the Olympics, he had two podium finishes in Norway, and a victory at the World Cup finals. He won his second Olympic gold medal in 2018 in the super G.
At the 2022 Winter Olympics, Mayer won the bronze medal in the downhill and successfully defended his title in the super G. With three Olympic titles in addition to a bronze, he is Austria’s most decorated Olympic alpine medalist.
On 29 December 2022, Mayer shocked the ski racing community when he announced his immediate retirement at 32 years old, just hours before a super-G race in Bormio he was scheduled to start. He finished his World Cup career with 11 wins and 45 podium finishes in 13 seasons.

Re: Matthias Mayer Monday @ TDD - C&C
While I do believe in ending a career gracefully, retiring at 32? Now that's something!
Though who am I kidding, my favourite Olympian is the Uzbeki gymnast Oksana Chusovitina, who first competed in Summer olympics in Barcelona in 1992 and has been a steady presence at the Games till Paris 2024, where she did not qualify. But she's on track to qualify for 2028 and I am SO rooting for her!

Re: Matthias Mayer Monday @ TDD - C&C
That is a little abrupt, trissie. It's like he looked down the slope, saw something alarming and said "Uh... I'm retired!" 
Thanks for starting us off. I am just finishing off a few things before I go to bed.

Re: Matthias Mayer Monday @ TDD - C&C
Good morning, Trissie, and thank you for starting us off. .Maybe Mr Mayer decided to "quit while he was ahead" and not wait for any decline in his performance to set in? Or may e he just woke up one morning and thought, "I don't want to do this any more!" ?
Sleep well, Dogged! BTW, the Poirot was "Hickory, Dickory Dock". IMHO, a good one
.
So, Monday again. And it's raining (no surprises there!) bit I think we are supposed to get up to +11 C today, so no possibility of ice. I have a long list of things that should be done today, and not much enthusiasm for any of it ATM. We'll see if some extra time with the lightbox has the desired effect.

Re: Matthias Mayer Monday @ TDD - C&C
Kittykatt, I love that your Poirot series includes titles that we don't see very often, so we can watch them like the first time.
I'm glad that your weather is warmer than ours. I'm sure that you will make better use of it, whatever you choose to work on.
Monday
Topped up phone account. Updated CC information.
FACE: Worked on budgeting
Made new Procrastaccomplishments list for the week
Washed the soaking dishes and dumped water
Fresh kibble and water for Germane
Brushed teeth
I'm starting to flag, so I'm heading to bed. See you later!

Re: Matthias Mayer Monday @ TDD - C&C
I sent L a WhatsApp with a picture of the latest issue, and to my amazement he not only replied, but came round the have a look!! It isn't actually raining yet, so I think he's out and about seeing as many customers as possible. So, he's going to text me a quote, and we'll take it from there. Ive no idea when he'll be able to actually do the work, although it has to stop rain sometime, but at least we're in the system. When that's all agreed, hopefully I'll be able to contact JE, who I'm hoping will paint the outside of the house, hopefully sometime this year.
As it's still dry, I'm going to attempt a little in my garden.
