Skiing Solo!

Boy do I ache today - I tell you what skiing recreational for two hours is lots more taxing than a one hour lesson - I don't think you appreciate how much standing around you do in a lesson compared to the full on skiing of just for fun - and that is certainly what it was - fun! At least I didnt stop the poma lift this time but it did take me nearly two hours to realise how you are supposed to do it properly as opposed to luck of the draw! I ended up base over apex once and was so glad J didnt abandon me it was just so embarrassing - I'm sure I slowed J down loads but have to say i did scare myself a couple of times when I let loose. A couple of games bowling after food was loads of fun and I managed to hold my own in the first game - I think by the second game I was totally exhausted (my excuse anyway). Journey home was slightly hairy due to flood warning and driving into a mad storm with fork lightening - all very beautiful - but not on your own driving! All in all yet another great day.

Been sorting out Halloween party stuff today - I had a request for my mulled wine again! - S said its like witches brew - meaning that its very easy to chuck down your neck and has a bit of a reputation ot make you forget what your doing lol. Should be fun, food plans are looking good with chilli for adults and a selection of spooky food for kids (and aldults no doubt). We have decided to stick loads of balloons at the end of the track with some attractions for people who have not been up on our mountain before and to kick start the evening. So far I have three pumpkins to decorate but think it might be nice to have more to leave them at strategic places so people know where they are coming. All in all a top night planned.

So tonight along with aching muscles i didnt realise i had (arms taken a battering - maybe thats with using poles for the first time?)im just gonna chill out and have an early night - shopping for more halloween stuff tomorrow.
