Freaky

This mantelpiece object has been freaking me out since we arrived. I'm not sure if it's the object itself, or how it is turned to the wall.

Disappointing morning for ne when it was clear that my shins were not happy with re-entry into ski boots. So the others headed through drizzle up the hill, and I took boots and shins to the hire shop to see what they advised. Turns out that the boots the shop in Edinburgh sold me 15 years ago (when I had maybe five week's skiing experience) are "very hard boots, racer boots, only for professionals" which goes some way to explaining my ski pain....

So, he has rented me some lovely soft flexible boots for tomorrow, when I'm told it will be sunny. Today's weather drove the intrepid three home early, for lunch and an afternoon of Monopoly (CarbBoy won after Mr B gave him Mayfair to make things more interesting - though TallGirl and I both came back from near bankruptcy to make it close), then lounging, dozing, dinner and cards.
