Top Of The World
The day before yesterday I was way too jealous of Chris snowboarding, so I decided to have a go yesterday afternoon.
Chris kept telling me I was still limping, but I´d just screech "No I´m not, look" and try to walk as normally as possible without uttering expletives, and keeping a histerical sort of mental grin on my face to give the appearance of joy.
We got on a lift, I had to go up holding the board because it would have been too dangerous to scoot off with my bad foot. The button lift I had intended on catching was broken which meant I had 2 options. Get back on the lift or board down to base. I opted for the latter.
BIG mistake! I had very little control and half way down I broke down and cried like a 5 year old because of the pain. In a nutshell, my ankle ain´t fixed yet!!
I boarded down to the bottom by which time I´d given myself a fat lip by bitting it. I dumped the board, and got a lift to the top of the mountain where I stuffed my face with chocolate cake.
Aaahhhhhh...much much better, look at that view!
Anyway, Chris is off boarding today and I´m at the bottom with my new friend. I´ve grown another Sam on my ankle as a result of yesterdays shananigans, but at least I can talk to her if I get a little bored of chocolate and headband shops at the base. My precioussssssss!

It's taken me all afternoon to work out the "I have a dog reference". I have finally worked it out and nearly fell of my chair giggling.
I want to know what the dog reference is please.
Some things have to stay in the family Harry! Only kidding, its impossible to explain, but John sent us a hilarious email the other night when he was stuck at work going crazy. It wakes me up at night laughing about it. Enough said.
