Another week has flown by consisting of lots of procrastination over making any decisions whatsoever!! But I finally pulled my finger out and booked to go to Queenstown which was a lot harder than I had anticipated…It’s funny how quickly you can fall back into routine and comfort in a situation. But I think we all need a little shaking up every so often… So i’m heading south on Tuesday to go have some fun in Qtown. But this weekend we’re hitting the local slopes and getting our ski on!!
Ivan and Dean had bought a new car (aka the spacko wagon) this week and wanted to test it out and a road trip to the ski fields sounded like a pretty good place to do so!!
Unfortunately our day got cut short due to gale force winds closing the lifts, so had the morning pottering about and then the boys decided to hike up the mountain which I was NOT fit enough to do! I just went up about 50m and then skied back to the warm cafe!
But because we had paid for a day of kit rental I thought we’d best make the most of the day and with the nursery slopes still open I thought it was the best opportunity to get Dean to teach me how to snowboard and I attempted to teach him how to ski…Well, fair to say i’m no natural! But Dean on the other hand, he was something else…made my day watching him try to ski…I was sat at the top of the slope watching him come up the button lift and somehow managed to fall flat backward off the lift…FUNNIEST THING EVERRRR! Can’t say he saw the humorous side to it!
What could of been a crappy day turned out to be a really really great one, just shows it’s not the situation its what you make of it!!
