Having Fun With My Clothes On

I purchased some new skis back in the spring. It was a bit of guesswork, not sure if I would like them, or if I had purchased the correct length. I was over in Milton Keynes Snozone to meet up with a couple of friends, so took the chance to get some bindings mounted on them, and give them a try out. The staff in the nearby branch of Ellis Brigham were most helpful as ever and had the skis ready in around an hour.

One minor flaw in the game plan was that my ski boots are out in Switzerland. Time for Plan B. "Can I borrow your ski boots dear?". It was a little like skiing in wellies, but well worth the effort as I really like the skis. I would go as far as saying it's the best time I've had at MK, the skis are huge fun.

I was joined for my session by JT and Snowball from Snowheads, who were on their way to Wales. JT was trying out some new skis as well, though I'm not convinced he was quite as happy with his choice, though guys both look happy enough here!

The Spanish Builders (again)

After paying lots of Euros for our place to be renovated, we headed out to Spain in order to get the electricity supply working properly. The problem seems to have been with the supply to the new power sockets. It should have been 220v, but was actually 120.

2 electricians arrived and dug a hole in the (new) wall sighed quite a lot, and announced that it was a big problem! They rose to the challenge and rewired the new wiring! Once they departed the builders' son arrived and introduced a plasterer who fixed the hole (s)!

Naturally we are out in Spain to relax, so it's time to get in a little painting and take in the scenery.

It's a long way down, and it's quite hard to paint a wire mesh!

It's a good job that we managed to get some proper relaxation done. some of it involved catching up with emails of course.

Of course, some builders in Spain, work harder than others, but it's quite a short season!
