Christmas, that is what I am talking about, one moment we are thinking about it and then suddenly it is going to be next week, still, we have managed to do all our cards and most of the present buying, we have to pull our fingers out because Maria is busy every day from this weekend on the slopes.
We thought the weather was being kind to us and bringing fresh snow in time for the Christmas skiing and on Friday we went and did a bit of snowboarding and then on Saturday it all changed, the cold went away and the rain came, but i think it is only a minor glitch and the cold will be back by the weekend, fingers crossed.
It was good to have a few runs down the piste though, this winter I treated myself to a new pair of snowboard boots, so naturally I wanted to make sure they were up to the task and they were really good, comfy and firm, my old ones were getting too loose but I have had them four seasons and last year alone I went boarding for virtually three whole months bar a few days here and there so I guess I got my moneys worth.
The best news this week has been that our chicken have started to lay again, they have been terrible the whole of the summer, they had molt and just couldn’t get sorted out but they are getting back into the swing of it all at last, hooray…..
