2006/2007

so it's all over for 12 months & today is back to work day - i mean i was working last week, but the phones/e-mail were deader than an ex-Iraqi president, so this is really back to life, back to reality

christmas was good, it cannot fail to be when you have an excited 2 year old who is getting to grips with her first proper notions of what it's all about & this year, now that we know so many people in the valley - there was no shortage of parties to attend

i also burnt way more calories than i consumed, thanks to snowboard sessions at Lake Louise, Nakiska & Sunshine - add to that a bit of x-country skiing & snowshoeing - it was all good

in fact the snowshoeing was great fun, we went up to Spray Lakes & struck out into the forest, apart from the occasional dog sled, it was just us, the trees, the mountains, the snow & a burning sun - bliss

so that was it, NYE was a quiet one - i had burnt myself out at Sunshine with a full-on day on the slopes & so we chilled out at a friend's party & watched some fireworks - a contrast to some of the London NYE parties for sure
