Hello again,
Well this is almost getting to be frequent updates!! I've just tried hotmail and yet again, can't get on, so that either means there's a problem with the server or someone's sent me an attachment and it's too hard for poor hotmail to open it!!
There's been a total change in the weather this week.... following last week's hot spring sunshine, we're now back to snow and just below freezing!! On Sunday at the airport, the boys turned up: Derek, JP and Gary, along with Colin and Cliff who I don't know, and they've been staying in La tania, so on Wednesday Barbara and I drove round there to spend the day with them...initially I wasn't sure if this was a great idea, due to the weather conditions, but we set off anyway and got their about 10am.... we took the bubble up and immediately disappeared into cloud, so our first run of the day was pretty naf: you could barely see from one pole to the next, and luckily the boys new the run, because it was just like skiing blind!! Anyway, we headed into the Meribel Valley and stayed low where the visibility was much better.... the boys were trying a bit of off piste, and Barbara and I followed where we could, but in some places there were lumps of ice under the powder - nice!! After lunch we headed into the Courchevel Valley and found some more off piste which was just soft white powder.... JP and Gary made their way through snow almost waist deep, whilst I managed to ski straight into a wall of powder and do a complete sumersault - luckily it was all soft stuff and I sat there laughing for about 5 minutes! Barbara took a good picture of me....I'll have to get copies from her when I get home.
During one of my 3 falls I must have slightly hurt my neck as I couldn't turn it to the right yesterday, and it's still a little bit stiff now, but nothing major.... and it's cloudy over here today, so I can't be bothered to go out on skis... maybe tomorrow (oh the luxury of being able to choose!!)
Anyway, that's about my gossip for now, except that I've got a flight home booked for Saturday the 24th April - not long at all now.......
Will go and try hotmail again....
