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

Since the skiing finished I’ve been working pretty hard to get back on top of all my client work. I finally got there yesterday. All loose ends tied up as much as they can be, and I was exhausted. The idea of sitting in front of the computer all day appalled me, but it’s been rainingtorrentially here in Chamonix for almost a week now, and there’s not much to do here when the weather’s bad. So Sarah and I came up with a great idea, and drove over to Switzerland to go to the Spa at Lavey les Bains.

It was just what I needed. Geo-thermally heated water feeding a big pool system. 3 hours of lazing about in the jacuzzis, saunas and pools. There was even a sensory deprivation room - A darkened room with comfortable seats where you just hang out and listen to whale music. Perfect.

Spas. My new favourite thing, and apparently there are quite a few of them up here in the Alps. It’s my mother’s idea of heaven. I can’t wait for her to visit again so I can take her to one.

Ever had that feeling that your life is coming apart a little bit and you need to get back on top of things? You car’s dirty, rusty & in need of a being a bit fixed. All your clothes are piled up in the corner waiting to be washed. You haven’t opened your mail for a month and there’s no food in the house. After a prolonged period of BBQ’s, drinking and parties to mark the end of the winter I’ve been doing a bit of life admin over the past few days.

Yesterday was the day to go and find a lawyer. I’m not in trouble or anything - I just needed to get a document notarised for a a German thing that’s going on. But as it happens I have been wondering how to find a French lawyer for a while now. I need to set up a French limited company this summer and I’m also planning to buy some property. The chap I met yesterday in Sallanches tells me he is known as ‘The EnglishNotary’ here in the Chamonix valley. Not because he is English, but he speaks it perfectly and has over 200 Ros Bif clients on his books, so hurrah. He’s the man.

Next the van. I took my skis and winter equipment out of it for the first time since December, cleaned out the inside, washed it, oiled it and generally sorted the thing out a bit. I’ll take it in for a little service in good time, but just for now a bit of air in the tires and a wash is all it needs for the weekend when I’m going off camping in Italy for a few days with my girlfriend. Just through the Mont Blanc tunnel & down to the coast, it’s only 3 hours or so away. I might even get the chance to do a dive two.

Now if I can just get on top of the work I’m doing, get my washing done and stop getting ridiculously drunk all the time…..

I’ve never really got the whole Easter thing. I guess our family never really made a big deal of it, so since leaving full time education several years ago whenEaster simply means a bit of a holiday, I’m always vaguely surprised when a 4 day holiday comes around every year.

This year was brilliant, though. The weather gods decided to give skiers the gift of winter and it’s been dumping with snow here for ages. The day after the first big snowfall is always a little sketchy in terms of avalanche risk, so on Saturday instead of getting ourselves killed a bunch of friends went skiing in Les Houches instead - mainly to have lunch at the excellent Tannerie restaurant.

Easter Sunday, though…. I joined the second day of Mark Gear’s Advanced course on Grande Montets. It was still snowing and I’ve never seen it so deep up there. You could measure the new snow in metres. They opened the top lift at around midday, which had been closed since the snow started to fall. This is an incredible moment. When the top of the GM hasn’t been skied for a few days and you can get up there into some fresh, new snow it’s the best Chamonix has to offer. With buckets and buckets of snow up there, and Mark’s mountain knowledge and skill as an instructor, the 5 of us skiing with him knew that our runs off the top would be nothing short of epic. And we weren’t disappointed. It was some of the most amazing skiing I’ve ever done - look how deep it was!

And it’s still snowing! The season, which felt for a while that it was coming to a close has suddenly come back to life. It’s back to work for me to an extent, but I think this week will see some great skiing. I’m going to try to do something extreme I think - Maybe the Pas de Chevre or some unusual route off the Aiguille Du Midi.

Bags are packed for a little road trip. ski gear, phone recharger, wash kit. I’m off to Morzine. Just as soon as the losers at Sanglard have finished waxing and edging my skis (I went to pick them up this morning and they’d forgotten to do them. Numpties.) It hasn’t snowed for a while and it’s likely to be quite icy - I’m going need some edges.

Feeling quite chipper about getting out of Cham for the New Year too. So, erm…. Happy New Year folks & I’ll catch up then :)
