So now the season has almost finished.....

What will everybody be doing until next season? Do any of you do other sports beside ski, how will you fill your time between now and say dec.... How will you get your fix, besides looking on here and at alpine cams showing grass for the next 8 months.... :lol:

Well, apart from the webcam watching in the Alps, I also make regular contact with some friends working the season in New Zealand, and start watching their webcams :shock:

Apart from that, I am entering the busiest period of my job. This will last through to September with me working long days and quite a few Saturdays. The good news is that once September gets here, we only have a month before the Ski racing starts again :twisted:

I will ensure that I make some time to watch the Tour De France and probably some of the Criterium Dauphine.

Once the summer really gets going we will be flooded out with guests and I will have to work very hard keeping the garden and cottages etc. looking nice for them.

And - maybe I will do a day's ski course on a dry ski slope in Milton Keynes or Hemel Hempstead during the summer :D

Really busy for me at this time. Working on tennis club membership renewals, junior coaching, court maintainance, and my 5 year plan to develop coaching qualifications with better Juniors. Plus managing to play 10 hours or so a week.

Then I am planning at least one new bathroom installation, hall/landing decorating, underfloor heating & re-tiling in the conservatory. And those are just the projects that she has told me about.....

Three or four half weeks painting, song-writing, recording.

Oh, a week and a half walking & painting in the Highlands, and looking at a summer week walking in Austria or Northern Italy.

Lots of ski-planning ~ our ski buddies all want to do different things next season, so planning and costing.......

Usually I would be preparing for the busy tourist season but actually I'm preparing to go into hospital to get my coccyx removed! Still at least I won't miss the ski season!

That sounds excruciating :cry: Don't we need a coccyx for balance :lol:

I am off walking in Scotland, Italy and morzine - not on the same day!

Well I am about to enter my busiest work period from June to Sept.
However, I've managed to get 11 days away early July in Skiathos.

Plus its an even numbered year which means FOOTBALL.....The Euros are on so that will take up 4 weeks entertainment for me.

And there's the Olympics of course, although I doubt I'll bother watching much of anything except the sprint finals.

I plan to get out on my bike a few times a week as soon as the weather picks up to try to keep a bit fitter but looking out the window today......nah.

Off to Venice next week for 4 days break which should be good.
