a busy week

The rest of the world has started invading Bourg. Last week I had F here from London, this week I have X here also from London who I've know for considerably less time. It's been a fun week even with the palaver of Easyjet not putting on his bag with brand new snow board in. 

Yesterday I got to have a go on a snowboard and though I didn't leave the baby slope, once I was moving I instantly found it a lot more fun that skiing. I am not an amazing skier but I can competently manage the red runs in the resort, however, all I have to look forward to with skiing is getting faster and being able to ski harder slopes and steeper angles. I think that learning to snowboard might just bring me a nice big challenge with lots of rewards. I have rented a board for a week but hopefully after this week I will be changing my skis to a board and off I go. 

My mother has set up a group on facebook against my 'smug updates' little do they know I've been toning them down trying not to make my life here sound like some kind of utopia, no holes bared now. Everyone can here about the beautiful family I work for, my lovely apartment, the stunning views and the general sense of well being and smugness I feel on a regular basis. (Yes there are lonely times and some boring times, but they really don't last for long and I've plenty of ways to get rid of said boredom or loneliness).

I think after this week I will be glad for a quiet week of normalcy before the resort and my apartment starts filling up over February and half term. But for now, bring on the chatins.
