Quit your day job. Go on. I dare you.

I’ve been addicted to many things at various points in my life. Booze, fags, weed; the list goes on. But when I got down from the mountain today I realised that I can add skiing to that list. I am addict.

I haven’t been up skiing for nearly a week. The snow’s been rubbish and I’ve been waiting for more, doing some work and well…. just not skiing. I was starting to feel sad, anxious and unhappy. Then I went skiing again today with a bunch of friends and what do you know? I grinned all day and feel amazing this evening. The French have an expression for it, which I love. ‘On a la banane‘. Literally meaning ‘I’ve got a banana’, it means I’ve got a grin on my face the size of a banana.

I guess there’s worse things to be addicted to.
