Snow days

 

I'm trying to work out what I've forgotten in the above photo, but nothing is coming to mind.

Had a lovely week in Flaine, France skiing. First few days blue skies and sunny (at the beginning of Feb too, wow) exactly what I like. Though I only ski in the morning, partly cos I'm knackered by lunch and also the sun melts the snow and skiing on slush not so nice. The afternoons are for going to the spa - pool/jacuzzi/sauna - bliss. It snowed Wednesday night and it was a bit cloudy the next morning so I decided to stay in. Have a relaxing day with my book. Alas, one of our party had a fall and Ellie and I needed to go down to the medical centre. She's torn her acl but is fine. Our little trip is to celebrate Ellie's 30th. We were all out for a good meal last night. There are 9 of us n this trip and it's been just gorgeous. Some skiing/snowboarding all day, some not at all, and some part time. I love the French meals we have self catering. Ski breakfast is porridge (ok, not very French) but I did have croissant with hot chocolate yesterday morning. Lunch however - Baguette, cheese, ham! yummy yummy. The odd sneaky vin chaud. Of course, spending time with family and friends is the best bit. Everyone brings something to the table and we have had such a laugh. Bon. Though they've mostly been taking the piss out of me! 😲

My holiday NSVs - I can fasten my own ski boots by myself for the first time ever! And I managed to stand back up on the slope after a fall with one ski on. Before I needed both skis off to kind of hoyk my body up onto the snowy slope. Both of these made me very happy. 

Home tomorrow. Maybe to snow. We'll have to wait and see. Obviously no weight this week but I'd like to think I've kept on an even keel. 

Chacun voit midi à sa porte - everyone sees noon at their door meaning everyone in life has a different point of view because we were all raised differently.

PS it's my skis I've forgotten lol
