Snow Monday

6:00 rise and shine.  Frost on the ground but no snow at Sponners.
7:00 breakfast - Cerial, yoghurt, tinned pears,  OJ, Sausages, spagetti of the hot tinned variety, eggs, mushrooms, coffee.
7:30 Organised a new jacket for Dan.  Not sure why but I am sure there was a reason.
8:00 Frank, Marcus, Jacob, Chris & Dan On the bus from sponners to Perisher.

Jemma was a bit sick on the way down and has still not fully recovered.  So Megan will bring her in the Vito as that will give her somewhere to sleep.

Anyway back to today,  I had a bit of a ski with Dan and we met Chris a few times on the mountain.  Then at 9:00 dropped Chris into the ski school and shortly after, dropped Dan in for a 2 1/2 hr lesson.  This year Chris is the only one doing ski school.  The rest of us are doing the usual 2 1/2 hr lessons in the morning and then playing around in the afternoon. Marcus has is mate Jacob and so they will do things together.  Dan and Jemma are likely to pair up.  So we figured that Chris may be at a loose end.  I am hopeful he will make friends in the ski school.  They seem to have a good time and he always has the option to jump ship after lunch and be with us then.

After that Megan and Jemma arrived.  I sat in the snow with Jemma and then she did some skiing in the learners area.  We went up the magic carpet a few times and she was managing a snow plough (Pizza).  Tried the T bar but fell off.  She then said she wanted to have a sleep so we walked back to the Vito and she is now snoring across the front seats.  And that is where I am now.  I have my netbook connected to the internet via the vodafone 'pocket wifi'.

It was very hot on the slopes.  I took off the jacket inner so I was just wearing a Tee shirt and jacket outer mostly unzipped.  I got jemma to take off her long sleeved Tee shirt and just have a singlet  and jacket outer also partially unzipped.  Also took off her helmet.  (Lawyers).
