Back from another world.

Since my previous post, you will not be surprised to hear what I have been doing, but I'll tell you anyway:
On Thursday we flew to Nice and then travelled by bus to Isola 2000, a small ski resort about 1½ hours away. the journey took 3 hours as we needed snow chains and there were French people involved in the process, but this was not too much of a problem really.

Friday was spent skiing in half a metre of beautiful fresh powder snow with a bunch of Swedes and I am very happy to boast that learning to telemark has made my alpine skiing much better and I am now pretty good in deep snow for the first time!

Saturday we went to Monaco, walked around a bit and then sat listening to some Swedes and Norwegians talking, I have no idea what the subject was, but am relieved to hear that plenty of the Danes were at a loss too!

Saturday night was one to remember, we started with dinner and a show sort of thing at the Cafe de Paris next to the casino and then 3 hours in the famous casino watching an obscene amount of money being thrown around by the locals and a more modest amount by my colleagues. I was a model of restraint and common sense and hence came home without spending anything!

A tired Sunday and another night with a small guest in the bed means that we are all a little jaded this morning, but I feel like the new years has arrived and I had better get on with it so here is the important fact for the day...

I weigh 109,8kg and am apparently 28% fat.

That is the first time I have weighed myself in about a year and not good news. I guess I have to do something about it.

    Is that really you or do other people wear corduroy suits ? Have only eaten ice creams at the Cafe de Paris and played on the one armed bandits at the Casino. Failed miserably in attempting to visit the Casino cloakrooms, which were rated in the tourist guide as amongst the best in the world. ajen

    3 in a bed? Snore & poke J to make it unpleasant - G could give tips.
    Look at the Telegraph website; they have a scientific "No Crave Diet" which sounds good.
    3 meals a day, 5/6 hours between each.
    The trip sounds great. Why don't wives get invited?
    I was 12st8lb this am. What a porker!
