I had to get something from a friends' place. They are on holiday but I collected the keys from a mutual friend. Walked down to find that there is a key code lock on the door as well as the key lock
So I text the girl whose apartment it is - cos FB messenger said she was 'active' (it was about 7.30am in the UK so didn't want to wake her or her hubby up!)
She didn't reply, so I text another friend up here - she said the key code bit was never locked so she didn't know it
Tried again, definitely can't open door
Waited a bit longer. Then text the guy half of the apartment. He was awake (should have text him first really!
) and gave me the code - woohoo. Luckily no one had gone past their apartment in the 30 mins I was waiting outside!! LOL
In I go - straight to key rack to pick up key.
Nope, no key there. Text Al and check if I have the right place (don't want to rummage through their apartment to try and find a key!!). He says it should be where I'm looking. Look again and on the shoe rack below it. Nope
Then he said, oh, maybe it's on the dining table!! Woohoooo - key and other bits for the bastard minibus on the table! Finally I can leave! LOL
Lock up and leave, Al texting as I go down the stairs about the snowfall and touring (which I can't do till they've done some pisting
) then off I go to walk home (20/30 mins, I walk slow in the snow as have been warned strongly about falling on either shoulder!!!). As I'm leaving their car park the phone beeps but I figure he can wait for an answer till I'm back.
Drop off keys with mutual friend, buy nice bread and an eclair (she works in the boulangerie!!) then go get a hot choc from my favourite place. He didn't charge me
Think it was reciprocal as I'd made him some mince pies for Christmas that he loved
Sat on a bench in the snow drinking the chocolate and contemplating life in a ski resort with no lifts!! Bloody love living here but the lack of seasonaire friends and lifts for skiing is making things a bit tough!
Got home to find that the last message was from the girl of the apartment asking me to check the post! And telling me I don't need a code, just turn the key a bit further and it releases the code lock
LOL LOL Oh well
So I'm back home and have had some peanut butter on nice bread for breakfast and watching the madness from my window that is cars with inappropriate tyres trying to drive up the slope outside my apartment
The electric heating under the pathway really isn't working!! LOL
The ice rink needs de-snowing!
Yay - voila!! LOL
