Time :: 11:45am
Temperature :: 4 deg C
Conditions :: Beautifully sunny, only moderately breezy. There are bare patches appearing on many runs.

I've been in contact with Lodge B (favourite so far), talked to the secretary who seemed open enough although at this stage more interested in finding someone to manage over summer, and we're meeting the president of the managing committee this afternoon, he fortuitously decided to spend this weekend in the lodge! Crossing our fingers and hoping all goes well, this could be our chance to make a good impression.

We've also had tips on lodges C and D that may also be be hunting for managers for next year, but we haven't followed those leads up yet... as I have been far too busy writing poems about porridge!

- The Magic Properties of Porridge -
If you take the oat, that lowly grain
And roll it flat it wond'rous does become
The magic properties are clearly plain
When a pot you boil it in with measured sum
Of water, salt and milk and leave it simmer
Twenty minutes or more if that's okay
Then in a bowl with milk and honey glimmer
Energy for snowboarding all day!
