Seriously though, why did no one think to tell me exactly how hard this would be? You, my so called friends... are useless! You should have talked me out of it!
This is the first time i've touched the Interthingy in 9 days. NINE! i don't even want to check my emails for fear i'll never get through them all. Anyway, Merry Christmas, Joyeux Noel!
Given the lack of blogging, you've probably gathered that we're a little busy. That's an understatement. Up at 06:45, bed, if we're really lucky, by 01:00. Today we were lucky because our guests wanted their Christmas dinner earlier (15:00) which meant that after 4 hours of cleaning up we were able to get "home" at 21:00 tonight.
Here's a list of disadvantages of being a seasonaire:
1) Ridiculously long hours,
2) Ceaseless never-ending menial tasks,
3) Really limited ski-time,
4) Constantly sore back from standing craning over kitchens all the time,
5) Looking at the mountains but not being able to go up them.
Here's a list of advantages of being a seasonaire:
And that's it. Well, we are doing a bit of skiing but nowhere near as much as i'd like, which is all the time. I think it might be easier if we didn't have to practically build our own chalet, but that's another story.
i nearly gassed the guests tonight by trying to get a fire going in the recently and hastily installed wood-burner. But they have failed to install the chimney properly so instead the smoke just filled the room, which is, as you'd imagine, less pleasant than watching the flames flicker in the grate.
Tomorrow is our day off and its now three weeks without a break. We've still had no more snow so its getting icy but, since it's warmer, the snow that is already up there is softer. Tomorrow we're off skiing the whole day on Natalie's new skis (not both on hers at the same time). I'm thinking Morgins, but we'll see where the snow takes us.
Please do a little snow dance, we need it!
