The snow has disappeared and made way for cloud and rain. The long winter is starting to get a bit boring now – though occasional sunny days do help a bit.
Robin and Bri were down with cold/lurgy during the week and and I think nobody is in top shape.
Next week we are off on a week holiday – skiing (first time again since 2006). Steve has been having snowboard lessons on Monday evenings (on an artificial piste) for a month or two now – so he should be able to get up to speed. We’re going to Lindenberg in SW Germany against the border with Austria. V cheap accommo and some small local ski areas 15 – 30 min away. Should be good fun.
I went away skiing with Oracle social club for 3 days at the beginning of Jan – had the unfortunate effect of reminding me how much I love it & how little I have done over the last 17 years. Oh well – hopefully the boys will get hooked too (C & R a bit ambivalent at the moment)
Chris’ band had another gig at a local venue yesterday – Bri and Robin went to see it. OK’sh though Jasper (vocalist and “leader”) has a lot to learn about singing and songwriting…and they need to get past the “standing around like vacant teenagers” approach to their stage act…Chris’ skills on the bass are rapidly improving though.
