Walking round, nutting Stuff
I was feeling the winter yesterday. As I sat at my desk rubbing my hands together to keep out the cold I realised suddenly that I was feeling a bit crap. Obviously that’s because I’ve been working far too much. I needed to unplug and go skiing, so that’s what I did this morning. It wasn’t exactly a bluebird powder day. Very low cloud in town, cold and I know that because it hasn’t snowed for a while, everything’s pretty bulletproof and icy.
But the closer I got to Les Houches, the brighter it got and suddenly I could see the ridge above the Prarion lift & I knew that the Houches was a good choice.
It wasn’t about skiing anything steep and gnarly today - just booting it about on the piste, getting the blood moving, meeting up with Sarah once she was finished in the chalet and having a good, long lunch in one of the lovely hidden restaurants that Les Houches is famous for.
Having sketched about on the ice an high speed today, I suddenly decided on the way back to the office it was time to do something I’ve been meaning to do for a while. I bought a helmet. Giro’s Bad Lieutenant. It looks like a German World War 2 storm-trooper’s helmet.
So obviously I’ve been walking round my appartment all afternoon wearing my new kit, nutting stuff. Yep. I’m bad.
