10th January

Today has been a good day. We slept in until about 9 this morning as the mountains out our window mean that morning sunlight is not an issue. Phil went on a mission to find washing detergent, milk and bowls, before he headed off to find the slopes of Nakiska. After having a few cross country skiing experiences, he had never had the chance to give downhill skiing a go, so today was the day! He was able to muck around by himself for a while before having his own private lesson. Apparantly he got up speeds fast enough that even this little hot body felt cold!

On the other hand, I stayed in to 'rest my foot'. I got to watch some crap TV, do some more washing and enjoy my own company. As our bags appeared to have exploded when we opened them last night, I also spent a little time straightening the room up again.

News of the day is that an Air Canada flight (the airline we are using in Canada) had to make an emergency landing at Calagary this morning and 10 people were taken to hospital after a rather rough ride. It was strange to see all the emergency vehicles out the front of the building we were at only yesterday!

Phil is currently having a little nap before we head out for dinner.

Highlight of the day: Downhill skiing.
