Cold.

I'm sitting in an Internet Cafe waiting for my hot chocolate, sorry - chocolat chaud and things are going pretty well. Hardly anything is open yet, and the bars that are are filled with fresh-faced seasonnaires on their training week.

Truckasaurus survived the 1,000k drive to the alps - until the snow came. Sometimes I'm such a dumb-ass, I bought anti-freeze with me but neglected to put it in the radiator. 1 trip up the mountain later, a very overheated truck, a pipe blown from the engine and knackered turbo. She's still running and running fine but without the turbo, the climbs up mountains are proving trouble some.

We've started distributing information about advertising and had some positive feed-back, but no bookings yet - the next few day will be interesting! And we've finally moved into our permanent apartment for the season. It's in Courchevel 1550 - we couldn't find anything decent in Meribel for the price we wanted to pay. 1550 is only a 10 minute drive away from Meribel and it's a nice place. The apartment in right in the centre of the village, with a few bars and shops, and the view is stunning.

An apology to everyone that I didn't catch up with before I left. After flitting back and forth to Bahrain and Solihul and preparing for the season I just ran out of time. I'll be back in 5 months, I'll see you then.
