G offered to take Harry to school yesterday lunchtime then look after Tabitha for the afternoon so that I could clean the house. Not the most relaxing of ways to spend precious free time but the place has been getting me down and with no time or energy to do anything about it - something had to be done.
So, I got to spend 3 hours with the ipod blasting, getting the place looking like home again instead of a building under siege by plastic toys. It looks good.
At 4.30 I then went off for an evening SKIING with mates. Brilliant. We got up there about 6.30 after we'd picked everyone up & it was great to get back out there after 2 years ( I was pregnant last winter). My ski pants actually fit me better than they did 2 yrs ago and my ski boots which were new that year are v comfortable.
We did 1 green run then went onto more adventurous runs. Of the 4 of us, 2 were great skiiers (black run capable) the other two (myself included) more happy with Blues. I felt like I was the most challenged of the 4 and definitely pushed myself in order to keep up at times. There was alot of powder and lots of moguls on the slopes. The weather was OK but then started hailing, not too bad though. We did a couple of hours of non stop runs which was amazing but also very exhausting! We then stopped for a drink and during the 20 mins we were inside the weather took a turn for the worse and when we came out it was blizzarding. We did 2 more runs then headed for home, having to drive for an hour in treacherous snow conditions down the mountain freeway.
Absolutely knackered this morning but it was well worth it!
