I've been here 3 weeks now and it seems like no time at all. At first the days were going really slowly and I was trying to work out what to do with my time. Now there resort it open, I have skis and have had a couple of refresher lessons it's all flying by. Today is Christmas Eve and the family is up in Lille with the grandparents with G the youngest will be staying for 15 days.
I've been hanging around in the resort loads and have made a fair few friends, mainly with those that are working here for the season in the bars or the chalets. They all work long hours and all want my job with only 20/25 hours a week at most. It's certainly an easy one. Though I'm finding it a little difficult to get used to the children. After Newham where all the kids are a little bruised by life and tend to need me for something or other, these kids are completely different. I definitely get the impression that they just put up with me until their parents come home.
I am getting on really well with the middle child A because I think he is a little lonely sometimes and just wants someone to play games with. Yesterday we were playing with their darts board (oh my am I bad at that).
I'm confused by my lack of Christmas spirit. I finally have a guarenteed white Christmas with Christmas trees and lights all over the place but all I'm set to do is sit around in the bar that I've found with wifi and good people. I never really have been much for the whole obligatory celebration stuff so I'll just meet up have a few drinks and a few friends and take the night from there.
The skiing is good at the moment and after a few more lessons I'll feel like I'm back into it properly. With all this spare time on my hands I feel like I should be doing something constructive but right now I'm just fannying around. Give it a month and I'll actually start doing stuff, honestly.
