  1. Hi, it's me again!

    The year has come to an end. Bridal Piwi's leaving with a bow. But this year is a very special one: here's Skiing Piwi! (that is, if you are reading this during this Piwi Year, otherwise my profile picture will have changed again)

    This year is extra special because I am revealing Piwi's official lore.

    Piwi's full name originally was "Piwi de Pengu die goed skieën kan", which, translated to English, means as much as "Piwi the Pengu who's good at skiing".
    However, there was one problem: dear Piwi wasn't actually good at skiing. So in an attempt to combat this, he had his name changed to "Piwi de Pengu die heel goed skieën kan", which comes down to "Piwi the Pengu who's very good at skiing".
    That, however, didn't change the matter: Piwi still couldn't ski.
    Then our Piwi decided to simply keep on practising, around the house. Every time he could, Piwi would try to ski, and fail. But Piwi would not give up! There were always enough new opportunities. Especially the railings at the stairs were a very good place to practice the art of skiing.
    Through consistent practice he got better and better, and eventually Piwi was actually very good at skiing. On top of that, he found out he could flutter in the air by flapping his wings, something which he started training after mastering the art of skiing. In the end, Piwi could ski like the best skier in the world, and could fly a bit too!


    Of course, there is another giveaway, this year. To enter, please pick a number from 1-30. An updated version of the program I wrote for Piwi Day last year will select the winner!
