Today I worked in the Church running 130 metres of cable for two live stream cameras and projector. Next step is to wire in the final camera and move all the equipment to the sound desk (which needs to go digital). So we will have three cameras to switch views and be able to run all the sound via the desk and keep a good quality. And it was 6C in the Church, so a good incentive to keep moving and not freeze! Then got home and helped my son fit the mudguards to his new bicycle which he is very happy with. A BTwin Rockrider with hydraulic disc brakes front and rear, 24 speeds, good upgraded rims, upgraded bar and nice seat. Excellent tyres as well. Bike is also in superb condition. Cost him £200 all in. Quite the bargain I think.

I've had an AWESOME day!!

First I skied with some friends. After driving the other day, one of the friends I drove for did the driving today (we needed to drop a couple of other cars to the finish as there ended up being 7 of us skiing!!)

No lifts open still but the resort has pisted a small section of a LOT of runs - I suspect because it's safer to piste a bit than have random people walk up the mountain in deep snow and then need collecting when they crash But the pisting works great for me and one of the others - we haven't learnt powder, so most of the others stuck to the edges in powder and me and Sue skied the pisted bit!!

Absolute best bit - Look - I can lift my right arm to almost 90 degrees!!!!

Damn that made me sooooooooo happy!!

I've been offered a job today, crap money but think I will really enjoy the job. I was interviewed first and apparently set the bar too high for the other applicants (I wasn't due to hear until Thursday with the last interview today but they said it was an easy decision

Be my first time as an employee since 2009!

So you had to walk up the ski slop noggin?

Fuck. That.

I remember walking up a sled slope in Colorado and getting out of breath! That was at about 3000 metres* though, how high are you?

*The town was 3000 metres, I didn't walk up a 10,000ft high sled slope

We are very lucky that a few of get on and can share driving and chill on the slopes. Half expecting another full lockdown soon, so have to take advantage of a blue sky day

No not today. I do, the only skis I have at the moment are touring skis. I've not done as much as I'd wanted to in the last three seasons as it hurt to much to do it

But, today a friend drove us up then met us at the bottom and took us back up again!!

But from now I'm hoping to walk up a bit when it's not snowing. If I can get fit enough in the next few weeks to walk a good way up the mountain, I can ask a friend to teach me to ski on powder


(Although I am half planning to get a snowboard on loan and relearn to do that!!)

Well done.

My first spawn has a job interview tomorrow morning. They were told by email late this afternoon. Obviously being dole scum* they have nothing better to do. And the nursery is shut because of C-19. Lucky they've got an idle parent with nothing better to do.


*They aren't, they are self employed and a stay at home parent.

I've started learning about fault finding on small generators. No prizes for guessing why.

What did I do today?.....
Well...got up.....poo'ed. ...breakfast (toast and boiled egg. Got the fire going. Prevaricated. Played scrabble. Lost.
Lunch (curry from freezer). Walked down the track to fetch the car (foolishly went to the post box in it yesterday..too icy to drive back up.) The walk back nearly did for me. 600metres, uphill...I am 71 & 11/12ths and not very fit.
Bottled some tomato wine which will need a year. Fetched in some wood. Played scrabble. Won. Tried to get on to Hermes' live chat to ask where the second parcel I sent to Holland is. No luck. Looked at the claim for parcel 1. " we need more information. " They have had the info at least three times. The phone number is chargeable and gets me nowhere. Found an email address , sent a snotty missive which came back as that email is no longer in use. Redirected it to the managing director. I would put a soapy tenner on that not getting anywhere.
So tonight I will write a stiff letter to the physical address and snail mail it.

Sorry, forgot - I'm at 2000m. It takes me about 6 weeks to get to almost normal breathing when I get here from a summer in the uk, or this year, a summer near Grenoble!! (Should take a couple of weeks, but regardless of my fitness level, my system doesn't seem to like altitude!!)

I do walk up slow when I tour but I also recover very fast, so it's worth it

Was supposed to go visit the vampires in the Stab Lab this morning, but was moving like an old(er) fart so that can wait until tomorrow

Was testing the replacement for the replacement camera today, stuck it to a window & left it alone. Caught this critter. (it's only an 16second clip)
