Sunday 25th, 5.20, -1.5dg, forecasting down the bottom, chilly with intermittent snow and up on the mountain a heavy fall of snow, heaviest during Mon night. Temperatures will be below freezing (max -4°C on Mon night, min -10°C on Sun night. It was flurrying on us as we left the Haller last night, but only lightly. Early yesterday into Bludenz... I got my stereo sorted, and for free!! fantastic result, but otherwise it was a frustrating day waiting for the weather Gods to get their stuff together so the Men's DH in Kitzbühel could get under way. The women skied their downhill in glorious weather in St Moritz, with gusty wind at times, but blue sky day. Lindsay Vonn took the prize for the best OMG moment and lived to finish the course. I can imagine the reaction of her Doctors and physio team if they were watching. Men finally started on a shortened course so in all reality none of the true spectacle that is normal for the legendary Streif, but a good race non the less. I managed to do some more packing in the spare room late afternoon, principally because I have a couple coming to look at the house today at 15.00 and the spare bedroom is my depository for all things England bound.. in other words a S*** tip. I hate disorder... and even more, I hate not having all my ducks in a row... once more, patience. At 20.00 last night I walked into the village with a friend for an evening drink and a head settling discussion. The Kreuz was jammed, and it was a little too early for the Bodega, so we ended up in the very very smoky Haller cafe... Stink...I threw all my clothes onto the balcony when I got home. Today my three from Switzerland depart and I need to be relatively fast with turn around, so I can present the house in tip top shape. I have the coming week free from guests thankfully, but full of appointments. All the action from the piste in St Moritz and Kitzbühel will have to be recorded so I can watch at my leisure after prospective house buyers have left. In all honesty, I am not looking forward to this afternoon. If it is meant to be so it will happen.
