Ski-sickness!

I have caught a bug.  It has made me really sick.  Sick with excitement!!

Why did I never do this before.  Fear, maybe?  I can't believe I have conquered my fear so quickly.  Had my first lesson last night and dying for the next one already.  I did have a bit of a 'wobble' when I got out of the car first and saw the slope.  I nearly turned around and went home, but I was determined.  Not as determined as my instructor, who's reputation was on the line, he vowed to have me on the lift before the lesson was over.  Determination won in the end, I'm not sure if it was his or mine, but he had me on the lift before the first hour was over..........Roll on Friday, so that I can get back there and feel the thrill all over again.  Next stop Bergamo!!


There was a young (?) girl from Old Bawn,
Put ski's on and then she was gone,
to the top of the slope,
with the height she could cope,
and slid gracefully down like a swan.....


I've got ski-sickness.  Perhaps that's why my legs are so sore this morning......
