Hail all,

Bring on the next version of lost! Here are some pics:

January skiing trip.

… that I can’t have my name put on the main page due to insufficient blog entries, it has become my New Year’s resolution (one of many) to blog once a week. Seeing that we have already begun the 3rd week of January, I have already failed. “Dude, no!” as one of our best loved characters would say from the series which will remain nameless. What exactly is happening on the island? Why has no one found them yet? Why? Why? Why? There are many theories, but I reckon it’s all in the numbers…

skiing was good stuff. Pretty cold most of the time, but nowhere near as cold as it was last Jan. Unfortunately the coldness wasn’t offset by plush powder… Pinkie took well to blades and rich picked up boarding very quickly. Sharna did well on skis in the last couple of days. I didn’t manage any 360s on account of having a bad back. next time.

Played footy for the first time in ages today (though only for 15mins) and we won 1-0 and went 2nd in the table!? bit of a shock after the start of the season we had.

No celebrities spotted but apparantly Abramovich was skiing at the same time as us, but in a completely different part of the alps.

I appear to be suffering from an acute case of karmic consequences. Our Christmas turkey was brought around by Colin and Petra with a sock over its head, because they couldn’t bear to look it in the eye. It put up one hell of a fight, which was hardly surprising since it was engaged in a battle for its life, necessitating immense effort on my part to hold it down and prevent the kitchen looking like an abatoir; and I think I damaged ligaments in both shoulders doing this while my assistant (or was I the assistant?) administered the coup de grace. I had forgotten that that ludicrous wedge of solid breast meat was pure muscle.

Glad to have found the explanation of my aching arms and shoulders, I celebrated by climbing the chicken tree and catching the latest crowing cockerel who was quickly dispatched and cooked in Moroccan style.

Needless to say, we all played football with the head afterwards.

Also I have spotted another 6th rate celebrity – or rather he spotted me in Tesco. Yes John Ansel – lead singer of popera group G4 acosted me in the aformentioned supermarket in Bognor and we were quite friendly to each other. We used to be the two who did the solo’s in the West Sussex Boys Choir -obviously a swarm enemy then. Kill…

For the benefit of Decoy and Pliskin I would like to be be known that we played 7even again this morning – the team that hadn’t conceded all season and had won every match until we played them and won 5-3. Anyway we beat them again 6-4. Penalty from Fat Scott, one each for Me (another left foot) and Chris and a hat-trick for psycho Don. The last 8 games or so we’ve been amazing.
Weather here is wet and cold and football pitches here have been mud.

Hope you don’t break anything on the slopes 🙂
