Today, being a Sunday, means that that stalwart of BBC2 Not-Quite-Ski Sunday was on. I missed the middle part of the show, where apparently there was some actual skiing, but we got to see a guy checking out the ski piste in Morocco (not that good) and then trying his snowboard out on the sand-dunes.... just incase it worked there as well.
We continued our trek through the Alps... in mid-summer. Not a lot of snow.
Then there was Claire Balding, who was put through her paces on a celeb-salom (think of the Star-in-a-reasonably-priced-car from Top Gear).
When I left for my dinner they were just heading off to Whistler, home of the 2010 Winter Olympics, which apparently was the home of jumping-out-of-helicopters-onto-the-top-of-mountains snowboarding craze. Not really my cup of tea, but if it gives the presenters a buzz I suppose it's a good investment of our licence fees!!!
Have just had my second really good weekend in a row and am looking forward to another one next weekend.
