Pre-ski, an outsiders view.

(Written by Jen)

Well Kenny's been dashing about like a bee on speed today getting everything ready for the big trip tomorrow. Quick dash into town in the handsome new red polo for some travel essentials.

Euros, done

Gaviscon, done

Condiments (no salt required), done

Charger for video camera (for erotic ski-themed home videos) done

A bit of frantic run-around-the-house packing followed, with a couple of mugs of coffee to fuel the mania. Once the packing is complete it'll be time to get into proper holiday mode with a nice bar lunch and some beers with old friends.The beers will have to finish reasonably early, however, because Captain Bob is collecting the boys at 03.30hrs for a 6am flight! They're abandoning Bobster's car there for the week, so hopefully it won't be ravaged by raccoons or eagles while they're away. It's always a risk around these parts.

I'm sure the 4 of them will be very well behaved this week, I can't imagine they'll be having more than 2 or 3 beers a night, knowing them as I do. They'll come back all refreshed and re-energised. Wink.
