And you're worth every penny.
In all sincerity though, well done. Proper job. I've been first aiding (is that a term?) for over thirty years, but you've taken it above and beyond. Top man.
And you're worth every penny.
Thanks
You appear much less argumentative in the flesh.
Nice white balance in yer pics. Most peoples snow pictures are horribly blue!Noggin wrote: ↑Thu Jan 26, 2023 3:49 pm Yesterday I did 'first tracks' with some friends. Unfortunately, I didn't really one of them was a non skier when they booked it and the piste down is NOT beginner friendly!!
So, I spoke with the pisteurs at the top and I skied down at the back with Zoe and one of the pisteurs. Luckily, he was amazing - very calm and patient. She did only fall once, right at the top, and he helped her back up - I couldn't have done that as I don't have the balance or strength at the mo But after that one fall, with gentle ecouragement and patience from the two of us, she made it down. On the less daunting bits she was fine! But TBF, doing the Mira piste on the fourth morning of skiing (only three lessons!) was blooming awesome!!
Sadly, she bailed on going to do the second run, which meant she missed breakfast. Even more sad, I didn't hear my phone going as the SAP (lift company) woman had called to suggest we skied straight to breakfast. But, serious smiles all round.
And by not going for breakfast before the second run, I got to have a serious quick and fun run down the second time
Then, a mate from La Thuille over by Val D'Isere had been supposed to get a ticket for the first tracks but didn't So he came over anyway to ski. Once first tracks was over, I then skied with Jon for the day.
Today, we headed out early to meet another friend and skied around the resort for the day - well about 4.5 hours if you don't include time stopped for hot choc and then lunch!
Yesterday was probably a bit longer ski time!
I've had the best two days skiing that I can remember. Even pre broken leg I didn't ski this well! The lesson I had a couple of weeks before the accident has really paid off - skiing with people better than me and also concentrating on the technique as made so much difference
Looking forward to the next sunny day off
Photos of the pistes! Cloud has been in the valley all day, still there now - but up here it's been bloody lovely
Purely by accident!! I'm using an iPhone, relatively old! I do have a 'real' camera, but have yet to learn to use it (bought it just before I couldn't use my right arm properly - a bit of a challenge to get the camera to my eye until recently!!)
It's an omen.
Meh. We're surrounded by NT places and they've started charging for some of the car parks for yompin' that we use on NT land ie where there isn't a house to visit. Bit of a no brainer really. Couple of trips to Cotswold Outdoor, couple of trips to a stately pile when we have visitors and a few car park fees and it's paid for itself.MrLongbeard wrote: ↑Sat Jan 28, 2023 4:44 pmThe 'you know your old when' thread is thataway <------

The sticker on the amp says 1988 and the speakers say 1984 vintage, I remember my mum buying it new in the late 80's.

I remember their parallel tracking turntable. Nice idea but the mechanicals were a bit
