whoop weekend off whoop!! very unexpected, only found yesterday on leaving work, and i think it's very well deserved, have worked stupidly hard this week (cough...) with VERY early mornings. had lots of sleep after a cheese mega feast last night with my dad - mum made a mistake buying an entire platter of delish cheeses which we had no problem chomping through. only had a mini lie in this morning, (tomorrow too hurrah!!) as we were going skiing! no unfortunately we weren't jet-setting off to the alps, only the trafford centre. so i spent the morning in my cute all in one black ski suit in the new "real snow" slope in manchester. as I changed from my trilby into my knitted bobble hat with ear flaps (i no ski-chic hee hee) i decided i needed to diet... i no what u must be thinking with my food obsessed mind that seems to assume life revolves around my stomach. this was due to my jeans feeling a little bit too tight round the old thighs... i tried to blame this on my increased number of gym workouts on the treadmill and my new 'oh so toned' muscles.

skiing was very very fun... we were also joined by my uncle who AMAZINGLY skis on one leg! so all was going well until something went wrong... i blame an icy patch... and i went soaring through the air, did a somersault (perhaps?) and landed heavily on the snow, skis all tangled up over my head, my head then hitting the ground very very hard... it felt like the hangover from hell (yesterday) had returned. recovered from my near brain damaged experience in a mexican restaurant with the folks, with a fatija... don't worry it was vegetable one and i ate primarily vegetables and less of those lovely soft floury wraps mmm... however then we stumbled across an absolutley unresistable ice cream parlour and had some honeycomb ice cream (minus cone, minus fudgy stick).

meetin up with a very old friend tonight (length of friendship not age) to do some serious catching up. however need to de-pinkify my nose first from the all the ski action of the morning and do some definite hair repair as my horrendous skiing accident caused my cute hat to fly off, getting covered in snow but more importantly exposing my hair to the snow also, resulting in many weird kinks and frizzy bits. think i might cook some sort of greek tapas for a few of us at home... going to pop out now to do some tapas shopping in my trilby.. tara xx
