It was almost as unexpected as it was painful! That most dreaded of ski injuries - the off-slopes slip that leaves you with a swollen foot and no prospect of returning to the slopes in a hurry. See attached bruise photo as proof that i did suffer! Still, if you seen the view from here you won't feel too sorry for me.
We're babysitting tonight while the Mikayala's parents attend a function in Auckland. I'm responsible for the spaghetti. Don has had to nurse my sore ankle this afternoon as well as look after Mikayla.
My (down)fall happened towards the end of an enjoyable walk to the eastern shore of Lake wakitipu at a point called Jacks point. I was approaching the end of the tramp and slipped on the muddy ground and landed with my foot under me. It hurt! I hobbled back to the car and have RICED it all day. I don't know if I will be able to ski this holiday. It is a real pain. ,
Mind you, there are worse places to be an invalid. I'm looking out at Coronet Peak which has a single cloud atop and lights for the lifts sparkling on the slopes. It is a magnificent prospect.
