Last day


Up early Friday. Paul already in ski clothes. Snowmaking all night and sun apparently on the Peak although cloud below. I have decided to sit out today - my ankle gives me no choice really. Perhaps skiing yesterday was unwise. Plan is complex:
1 Paint Mikayla's face for her cross country carnival and drop at Kiss and Drop
2 Ski from 9-11am
3 Watch Mikayla race while I return ski boots in Queenstown
4 Catch 4 pm flight to Sydney, thence train to mountains

Saturday, Election DayIt all worked. Don skied 12 runs, I enjoyed a coffee and some internet time in the Peak cafe, Mikayla came 16th in her race, flight and train worked well and Tess had salmon prepared for her birthday dinner. Don keen to catch up with Tiny so missed out on disappointing Pinot Noir from Orange - I may have been spoilt by the past week's drinking. Back to the cask!
Hobbled painfully to the polling booth and am now catching up on some TV. Did enjoy Phineous and Ferb on Disney channel though.
Now need to add some pictures to this blog.
Go Julia!

Okay, I'm waiting for the photos. I want to see that ankle!

I'm always glad you blog your trips, Rob. Most entertaining. And it was fun to have the menus and wine lists this time. Pinot Gris is one of the few types Lillie can drink without getting a headache.

Much love,
Rose
