Sammy the barmaid from Sauze Doulx
Had a favourite drink of Iron Bru
That's because she's a Scot
Which we certainly are not
Except Syko who hasn't a clue
This was one of the questions at the quiz night on day 2. Jonnie and I had gone out after dinner, and bumped into some people we met the night before. One of the tasks was to form a Limerick from the ingredient given. This was our attempt. It didn't win. A much more saucy one did.
The skiing is of course great. The other three in the party are Dave, Mort and Peter. This year it's Peter's turn to room with me. He,s a good roomy and never complains.
Skiing is a bit more worrying than it was even a year ago. although my sight can cope perfectly well, I am constantly anxious especially if I get isolated, or have to go on a lift on my own. I have done four days skiing, but skipped yesterday and also today.
The sun is out, and the snow is melting. Today is Saturday and the prediction is of crowds coming up from Turin for a weekend break. So I decided to go for a walk in the hills yesterday. Brilliant, hard work and scary. Well a little bit scary. I lost the track high up in the mountain, but decided to keep my bearings and hold my nerve.
The great thing about being lost, is that you are never quite sure where you are going to end up. Amazingly I ended up pretty much where I wanted to be. So I set off again today. I got lost again today. Finally I found myself about fifty yards from the hotel. don't ask me how.
Skiing is skiing, but in the sunshine, with right deep blue sky's it is exhilarating. Fortunately the bar we meet in for lunch is within walking distance so in about half an hour I'll head for there by foot.
Tomorrow we'll be home again, and needing to face a small storm about the quality indicators we need to set the hospital trust. Oh well, Sauze is a lovely place, with fabulous pistes. I would come again, even in the summer.
Sammy, the Scottish barmaid may not, after some of the more rude Limericks
