Happy Hangover and Merry Christmas

Hi All,

Postings have been somewhat sparse in the festive run up to Christmas. With traipsing around shopping Malls heaving with people all going in the opposite direction to me, to complete Christmas shopping tasks, and finishing things off at work, time seems to have swung by a little too quickly these past couple of weeks. But at least we've got our tree up!

Also, the customary Christmas hangover has been ticked off the list too! A couple of pints and a wee glass of firewater is all that it takes for me to be writhing around in agony crying that I shall never touch a drop again! (I was actually home by 7.30pm so it can't have been that bad!).

We're eyeing up where to visit over the holidays. At the moment it looks like we're off to BC to ski and board for a few days, and then down into the states to test out what Montana's snow has to offer! (I still get a bit sketchy thinking about passing US customs officials seeing as though we don't have a great history - but I'm sure my new photocopied work visa will get me back into Canada!).

The fun things in the hills are going a plenty - and a brief jaunt to Mt Norquay to board for a few hours is the order of this afternoon (today being Chrimbo eve). Having jettisoned down a couple of rocky double black diamonds on Goats Eye mountain at Sunshine, I've dusted off the old helmet to keep my bonce safe - although without a helmet I look like I have the worlds biggest head anyway, so when I don the lid I resemble something more akin to Neil Armstrong at work for NASA. (One small step... and all that).

We'll update you with pre New Years antics, and in the meantime wish you all a very Merry Christmas (just keep off the firewater).

I've got some Brussel Sprouts to peal and Brinas on with the Triffle.

Don't burn the Turkey,

S&S.
