Sitting trios

I found the three chairs below in my archives and thought that today was a good day to combine two challenges, Thursday Trios and Pull up a Seat. Only then I thought of 3×3 chair basketball.

While the three chairs are from last summer, all the rest are from a single occasion in 2018 when I stopped in the centre of Ljubljana to have a look at the 3×3 Ljubljana Challenger, a street basketball competition of teams of three. Before the main event there was also a game of chair basketball. They play in teams of three as well.

Even though the event was sponsored by Cedevita, a staple orange powder drink in our home even here in Tuscany, I bought myself a Cockta, another drink “from our and your youth”, as the slogan goes. Then I strolled by the Ljubljanica river, had a gelato and the day was made.

In other news, are you playing Wordle? I started today. Besides the regular English version, I’m playing Slovenian, Italian, Sweardle, and my favourite (because it fits well with the times and it’s not limited to one a day) Absurdle. Give it a try.

  These three chairs were next to the modern shell-shaped Stožice Arena in Ljubljana.

• 

  3×3 is 9, but they were only 6. The blond lady was the MVP.

• 

  The dragon is the symbol of Ljubljana.

• 

  Two teams of three playing in chairs, three blondes sitting in three chairs. And I’m having my Cockta.

  Oops. He unbuckled his belt and stood up, fixed his chair and sat back down. No harm done.

• 

  Three flags. The one on the left is Serbian, right? Then Slovenian, then Spanish.

  Three Slovenian flags with the Skyscraper behind.

  Sea food restaurant Ribca. I had many lovely meals here before it got a little touristy. These arcades were designed by Jože Plečnik who was born 150 years ago.

  2015: Two Kinds of Hand Signals by Ernst Jandl in three languages:

  Before every church

  I cross myself.

  Before every orchard

  I plum myself.

  How I do the first:

  every catholic knows.

  How I do the second:

  I alone.
