ski season that is! 8 months of thumb twiddling now + doing my job i guess.

Unfortunately, I haven't come out unscathed. :( . On the final run of the season, skiing back to village level, I had a bit of a tumble. It seemed only to be muscle damage, but went for an x-ray today and my collar bone has shattered into 4 pieces. Doh!

So actually, it looks like i'll be in fracture clinic and physio for the next 8 months..

According to Google (and why would we not trust them) you can now make it to sunnier climes under your own power..



29 days to swim 3462 miles... no problem!..

Back in the country for a few days between trips. Hard life, eh? Video of some of the hijinx we got up to. Probably only of interest to those on this or previous KeepingItArtificial trips.

 

ACT - Caritas (a coalition of Christian agencies) has put together a video on their work in Darfur and life in the IDP camps.

As there's so little snow about, decided to run off a cliff!

The mountains are looking very green and my skis are starting to suffer. I think they now have more repairs than original base material! About to start week 2 of this trip, having a great time despite the lack of white fluffy stuff.

Yes, It's that time of year again. Just back from my first trip of the season. Had an excellent time. Great group of guests and a fun team. We had some great talks an hopefully got the message across to some of the non-Christians who came along.

Had some excellent lessons, highlight being getting my beginners class of 10 who had never skiied before down a red piste on day 5.

aaarrgghh... NOOOOO!!!!

i want to go back...

A more positive post today.

Unless you are a warm weather beach holiday lover!

Winter is coming. Woohoo!!

I just have a small request. If you are planning on learning to ski or taking lessons this year, please think about starting a fitness programme soon!! Your instructors will appreciate it.
