Not board up a window, not lay floorboards, but actually strap my feet to a board and travel over snow (slush) at an incredibly slow speed...



But it does not feel slow.

I have to thank the lovely, lovely Carly here - she is incredibly patient and suprisingly good at containing laughter. She does mock occationally....

Boarding is NOT as easy as it looks and I now have a lot of respect for boarders. So so much fun though!
And it is a completely different muscle set. There was one point where my legs hurt so much that I (mock) screamed out in pain and an instructor came running over looking very worried to ask if I was alright. Carly looked suitably mortified and I continued looking like a girl in pain, because after a certain point of muscle spasaming it is impossible to lie...

Anyways, a great day was had - but I am shattered. I had an hour and a halfs bath with chocolate, red wine and a very trashy novel and it looks like I may be in bed by nine. Sheer bliss!

Thanks again to Carly.
