More Rain...
Well its been a while since my last installment, no real excuse, I just haven't got round to it.
I've been offered the "Ski School" job I applied for. I start in Mid-Novemeber at Blackcomb Base working in the "Kids Ski School". Hmmm, the idea of working with over-protective parents and brattish kids hasn't enthused me greatly so I am still hunting before formally accepting the job :o)
Had an "1st stage inteview" at a Shop today (5 min chat with manager in office). The shop is has a really relaxed atmosphere which is nice, a free ski pass is also offered as well as stupidly cheap gear :o)
My "2nd stage interview" is next friday - in a local cafe - so fingers crossed...
"Uncle Chris" dropped a sofa/futon and a TV round yesterday which was really cool. Currently lounging watching the "extreme sports channel" on the free cable (legally this time) We're just learning how to do 1080* and back flips in time for the slopes to open...
I've managed to get a credit card from the bank so we've been able to order things from the internet.
I've chosen my laptop so I'll order that in a couple of days.
Other news in brief:
Its still raining - 2" in 2 days
Its getting colder - -2*c at night now and falling
Reading lots - 2 Dan Brown books in 3 days, Ignoring Tolkien for as long as possible
The snow is getting lower and lower on the mountains - about 1/2 way now
Looked at the climbing wall - If I go >20 times in 3 months its cheaper than Notts Climbing wall, might have to sign up for that.
Hope all is well in the "proper" world - hows freshers flu ;o)
