Decks Cleared
There are many tricks you have to become good at if you work on your own. They mainly relate to motivating yourself to get down to work.
One of my most useful strategies is ‘Clearing the decks for action’. Sometimes I’ve loads of stuff on my to-do list, but still find myself procrastinating and not getting [...]
More stuff from the Vallée Blanche
Here’s a little video of what it’s like to actually ski this thing
And here are some more photos
First time on the Vallee Blanche
Today was a big day for first times. I’d heard a tip about the Vallée Blanche being skiable and in condition last night and got in touch with a friend to see if he wanted to do it.
I’ve never skied from the Aiguille Du Midi before. I wanted to last season but quite managed it. [...]
Ski Deconstruction
Sarah and I had a ski lesson this morning with the BASS guys again. It did seem more of a lesson and less Instructor training today. There was a group of 4, plus Alison the Scottish instructor. We all seemed to ski at a fairly similar level, which made for a really good environment for [...]
Flagging Blogging
I’m not sure why, but I’m blogging a bit less than usual at the moment. I think perhaps I’m trying to get my head down and do some work and that doesn’t really make for an exciting life to write all about. I’m setting up a blog for my sister and her boyfriend who are [...]
Le Delice
I’m still here. Damn. Thought I’d try to steer clear, like. you know….. But once you’ve got a local…. what can you do?
Trying to get back to work
I am trying. Honest. But it’s hard. First on my to-do list this year is to do some business development and get some work in for the coming couple of months. I’ve made a start and I’m already talking to a few people about a few projects, but…….
The skiing!!!!
I went up to Brevant with my [...]
Ski Instructor Training
The season has now got fully underway with a massive dump of snow over the past few days, and plenty more in the post.
I went out with the BASS ski school yesterday to meet them all and find out what’s involved in training to become a ski instructor. It’s the first time in a while [...]
New Year’s Day
Bit of a write-off New Year’s Day. In bed till 4pm, and frankly could have stayed there longer. Got up feeling the cold I knew was coming. Decided to make a trip into Cham with the boys to have dinner. Got a flat tire on the arsehole golf on the way. Was saved by the [...]
New Year’s Eve
Last year I started a tradition of doing something memorable on the last day of the year. It was ice diving last year, and this year I had an idea to do a ski tour, but with the no blimmin’ snow situation it didn’t look like like a plan. Luckily 2 mates from uni, Phil [...]
