#CrazyBrain #WCSkiThoughts

Monday 26th, 5.06, -4.7dg, forecasting a sunny start deteriorating into heavy snow. For the mountains a heavy fall of snow, heaviest during Mon night. Temperatures will be below freezing max -4°C on Mon night, min -11°C on Sun night. Yesterday's light overnight, early morning fluffies required a little shovelling but really only because there were people coming to look at the house and my departing guests had walked on it sufficiently enough that it needed to be shifted. The three departing guests enjoyed their stay so much they have booked to return middle March... it is always nice to know that you are doing the right thing for your guests. Busy morning preparing the house ... me a bag of nerves. 15.00 comes and the couple arrive... what lovely people. In your own stupidity you build monsters out of thoughts....What a crazy piece of work the brain is !!! we spent a happy hour and a half talking through the house and surrounds. She wants my dressing room, but is honest enough to admit that he has more shoes than she does. Bless. Today is an away day for me meeting with my lawyer in Dornbirn. This will be an interesting meeting. I have decided that the prone position is no longer where I want to be with this situation, and so the plan is to tackle them head on. A snowy incoming week forecast so I do not see me getting any hill time this week, the other side of that is I have enough to do to keep the momentum going inside the house. WC racing finished in Kitzbühel with Hirscher in 2nd in slalom... merely an observation, but has his form slipped just a little this season, could it be because of a love interest? Not taking anything away from him as he is a brilliantly talented skier, but is he as sharp as he was last season? My other observation from the weekend's racing, and I am the first to admit that some of the elder statesmen of skiing like Raich and Kostelic, have, in their time, have had stunningly brilliant results in their long careers, but does there not come a time when it is better to retire at the top of your game rather than carrying on and settling for such awful finishing places as is now happening more frequently for these men. Apologies to those I may insult by saying that. And Greece went to the polls yesterday... now it really will hit the fan here in Europe.
