Temperature (outside) :: -3 deg C
Sore places on James' body :: 9
Conditions :: It was a great day today! Mostly sunny and plenty of snow on the ground. A bit windy, but still good snowboarding!
We all went out today: Leasha's Uncle Chris, cousin Sam and I all got lessons this morning - Chris skiing, us two snowboarding - and it was really great to get some basic skills happening, I'd suggest it for anyone. Elicia had to work this morning, but she came out for a short time later in the afternoon when she finished. I tried to show her what I'd learned, but I'm not sure I conveyed it very well...
And woah, do my legs hurt! And several other parts of my body (the snow wasn't as soft as last time) - but mainly the muscles running down the top of my thighs and into my knees. When we got back we jumped in the spa and sauna (I love living here!) and that helped a bit - but I can tell I'll be even sorer tomorrow!
It's been great having some family up. It's only been a couple of weeks, but it still felt special to be able to see some familiar faces again! Chris is a builder, and he helped with a few handyman jobs around the place that I'm too nerdy to know much about - much appreciated! I tried to learn what I could so next time I won't be so incompetent. We've also spent a bit of time playing cards and having snowfights, and skiing/snowboarding today of course. They are going back home tomorrow.
It's been a great weekend, but I haven't done as much work as I was meant to do - I was goin got do it tonight but I think it will have to be an early start tomorrow, because after extensive exercise today my body is ready to crash.
