Yay! I’m currently in Le Grand Bornand on my first snowy trip of 2009 as part of the Anarski Camp. Having cancelled my month in Laax following my foot injury and change of job it’s good to be away and having fun in the snow once more. We cheated a bit getting here by cashing [...]

5:20am and my alarm goes off, it’s dark, I’m warm and toasty and it’s cold outside. Add to this the fact that I’m working from home and it all adds up to me not wanting to get up to go to the gym. Seemingly the other half feels the same way, saying he’ll get up [...]

January 04 2 Comments Category: All

It was hard, mostly because it’s so cold outside, especially today…..so cold in fact that the duck pond was frozen and the resident goose was looking mightily displeased at being surrounded by mini-icebergs, and also because I’m lazy and [...]
