TC's diary of a Saisonnaire 3 April 2000

Well that was a bit mad...Saturday night felt like Christmas eve going to bed knowing that the following night I would be allowed to drink after midnight and drink we did! Dan, Toffa, Scottish Andy, Louise, Anita, Simon and Ali started at about 7 PM so by midnight I had some catching up to do. 5,4,3,2,1 went the countdown and on zero the beer went down. Then another and so on and so forth. By half past midnight we had all downed two bottles of Ice Cafe champers and me personally had polished off 7 halves!!! That lot just about put me on a par with the others.

Monday night was (according to Toffa because I was in bed by 10pm) a really good night for pillow fighting where all the locals got involved creating a jolly marvellous atmosphere. Tuesday was quite a wicked Shibboleth gig with the boys playing louder and harder than ever, so get down to the Ski Lodge Donald because Tuesday is the last Shibboleth night in La Tania.

Thursday saw the best conditions of the season with Toffa on his cross country skis, Fleet on his board, Scottish Andy and myself all going to Val Thorens where on certain occasions we were skiing in knee deep light powder - eat your heart out Phil Spence!! Having just laid some perfect tracks in white out conditions(every where else was in sun apart from the fresh that Andy and I had trekked to) we decided on a celebratory beer (Me still on detox then had coffee) so we went to a Restaurant mention no names "The Genipi" Oops where we met a nasty German man who liked throwing Skis around (our skis) after we just gave him our hard earned cash. What a nice chap, well gave us something to moan about on such a wicked day!!! Wow my head hurts and I have got to go to work in less than half an hour boo hoo - Never again (Yeah right!)

Last note is dedicated to all who came skiing on Sunday having caught first lift. Nice on lads must do it again soon, and for all of you that have never done it wake up early and bloody do it is the best!!!

Must dash get well soon Josie, Hi to Sam, M Nixon (reply to your emails lazy bones)

Love Dutch, hate snowbladers and monoboarders....
