It is La Plagne. I’m in Plagne Centre.

We did first lift out of Centre to head over to the Vanoise. But didn’t take it to go to Les Arcs. A mate caught up with us at the cafe by there and then we skied back to Bellecote but doing some new to me runs on the way :D - weirdly since it’s my 11th season!!!

Then we went over towards Champagny after lunch but had killed our legs 🤣🤣🤣

Might be over your way at end of month if the snow is poor in the Auvergne.

Looking at places in belle plagne for a midweek 3 nighter, so might want to pick your brains as to where's good next week

Learned a new (to me) medical term:

"Ballistic podiatry"

Used by Ron DeSantis to describe Nikki Haley's habit of shooting herself in the foot during political debates. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Usual shenanigans at work. First problem this year, first problem fixed. I hope it’s not like last year but I suspect there will be about 4378 other issues to go in 2024 😂

I don't know much up there, but a couple of good places in Bellecote - I tend to stick to Plagne Centre and occasionally go down to 1800! But I can find out :D

Today I had the longest lie in I can remember for ever!! Mainly cos I really wasn't very well :( Fairly sure I had a temperature overnight and most of today but finally starting to feel human (ish) again!

Was considering crying off work (a first for me here!) but then got sent a couple of transfers to do and realised they must already be short of staff, so I went in anyway! But at least I have a relatively easy day tomorrow :D

Would be nice to get a bit more sleep tonight, so crossing fingers :D :D :lol:

I met up with an old band mate I haven't seen for a good while,we had a good natter and hogged a table for an hour over coffees. There's been a lot of water under the bridge for us both. A few of them are heading over to Spain on the bikes in the Springtime and I was formally invited,but I really can't be arsed at even the thought of a holiday,so I politely declined. A proper boring bastard I am,I don't even own an up to date passport!

Put the ZRX11 up on the Pitbull rear stand & then had to grab my inhaler. Issue is the front wheel is in the Baxley chock so the bike doesn't roll to make it easier to lift the rear.. & the fact that the Pitbull lifts the rear wheel about 5in off the ground.. & my health, so I had three things working against me. Now having a rest before actually working on the ZRX11. Bugger.

ZRX11 isn't even on the ride schedule until next month, but I've been putting stuff off since last month & I have the garage all to myself today.

Edit: discovered I'm one screw short on the shifter. M4x10 c/s.

13 hour transfer day, but, 3 of those were just sitting around waiting :(

Got home, quick snack (cos my mate didn't want to eat out as she had to eat up some of the food still in the apartment, she's leaving tomorrow!) - but we did go out to a bar. Two rum and lemonades later and I feel pissed!! Not sure if it's the lack of food or serious lack of practice (TBF, it was locals measures :lol: :lol: :lol: )

Only got to go drinking cos I don't start till 3pm tomorrow, which is nice, but also don't finish till late :( But, should be back to 3 days a week off from this coming week :D

Only got to be out for about 9.30 tomorrow morning for coffee :) :)

Now gonna go hope to sleep, cos I do need sleep and I think I'm too pissed to do much else!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

7 hours sleep last night, which is about an hour over average, so full of vim and vigour;

Picked up a wheel from Kwik Fit after valve was replaced and tyre re-seated after the internal rim was cleaned, hoping that stops the 10psi a week leak, re-fitted same to my car.
Popped out and did the weekly shop on my tod, as per usual it took half the time it takes when accompanied by a responsible adult, aka the wife.
Chilled for an hour.
Took daughter out to buy a new (to her) car, another bloomin' Mini.
Had 2nd BBQ of the year.
Chilled watching Waterworld .
Chilling watching Lift.

Umm… why do you say that - is there an actual reason or are you just trying to spoil my day even more? 😩😩😩😳😁
