Ha Ha! We had some mini ski races today, head to head down a parallel slalom course. It wasn't particularly steep so no record speeds were recorded but I'm chuffed to bits to report that I won all 3 of my races against my young whippersnapper ski group. At 33 and 3/4 I really should be beyond this kind of petty gloating. But I'm not! Oh the joy of victory. And anyway it's probably best for these youngsters to reap the character building benefits of defeat at the hands of bald geezer nearly twice their age. They should thank me. I mean I get pretty tired making them look bad...

Here's a picture of my ski group. I call them the young disciples coz we've got Matthew, Simon, Peter (absent), Paul and James. And this week our instructor was a Mark, Mark Deneau - an amazing skier in fact, glorious to watch! There's also Tim and Croy. These are the men in my life.
