I have been doing some ski exercises. These, for anyone who has never tried them, frequently involve standing with your back against the wall and then bending your knees until you look as if you are sitting down without a chair. Painful.
So, most days I am in slight agony - but hopefully this means that I will be in less agony when we actually go away. Still not sure whether it is worth it.
All this has reminded me though, of the revelation I had about myself when skiing last time. When I was doing a fast bit downhill i used to get scared and lose control and fall over, so a friend suggested I try singing to alleviate my fear. She always sings the theme tune from the Muppets, which sounded fair enough.
So imagine my worry when I was halfway down the slope, remembered her advice and opened my mouth to sing. Would that it had been a children's tv theme that had come out of my mouth. Instead, it was that Sunday School favourite. "Be bold, be strong, for the lord your god is with you".
Hmm, you can take the girl out of the United Reformed Church, but....
