Keithy has left, had a really cool 5 days. Looking forward to catching up with him in a couple of weeks time again in the ‘Burgh. Will be good. Teuchters here we come.

Went to Mamma’s in Morzine for dinner. No chips though  So ended up with the Pad Thai. Keithy said the burger was very good. Going for fish and chips tomorrow instead.

Was up nice and early this morning, heading up the Prodain telecabine to get a bit of skiing in.  First time since Katrina and Mikey were out. I was amazed at the conditions of the pistes! Had an awesome lunch and great company. First time skiing with Camille as well. Was really good.

The cyclone that is about to hit QLD borders looks horrendous. They aren’t having a good time of it on the east coast of Australia. What is up with the weather? Hopefully, it’s not as bad as it looks. The weather people have been wrong before. Fingers crossed (and toes) for all of those that it effects.

Arrived in Zurich just before 10. Decided I would have a non-sans gluten day, boy am I paying for it now. Subway for lunch, Club sandwich and 2 beers for dinner. Got my self-assessment done and some work, then slept most of the afternoon.

Aoife is well annoyed with him now and will growl at him if he comes within a 1 metre of her. She’s not scared of him as she will also walk straight passed him and growl. Not sure what is going on there as normally they are the best of friends.

Back to Geneve on Wednesday. Final Bar Nash Pub Quiz on Thursday (for the inter-season anyway), Camilles birthday bash after pub quiz, Katrina and Karen arrive Saturday (hopefully no delays). Then mayhem will set in I predict.

The best gluten free pizza I managed to get was at The Good Life Pizzas (I think that is what they are called) on Hutt Street a couple of doors down from the General Havelock. Not really good but definitely better than anything else I have had. The GF pizza from Pizza Capers was to be honest, horrid.

That’s me all booked up for Adelaide again. Start of November for 2.5 weeks. Still have that long wait in Singapore unfortunately. Hopefully they will be able to get me into the hotel. I so hope so, will be a very unhappy Miffy if I don’t. 19 hour in the airport without a bed after flying all day will be torture!

Well, that’s me on my way to Singapore. 6 hours and 55 minutes. Flight conditions enroute are good apparently. Always like to hear that. Time to watch some rubbish TV I think and then the movie “Cats and Dogs”.

Insomnia is unwanted sleeplessness or non-restorative sleep. It is most often a symptom[1] that can accompany several sleep, medical and psychiatric disorders, characterized by persistent difficulty falling asleep and/or staying asleep or sleep of poor quality. Insomnia is typically followed by functional impairment while awake.

I have piles of clothes that need washing and with this absolutely rubbish weather it’s just not happening. Actually to tell you the truth, even without this awful weather it wouldn’t be happening!

Fatigue (also called exhaustion, lethargy, languidness, languor, lassitude, and listlessness) is a state of awareness. It can describe a range of afflictions, varying from a general state of lethargy to a specific work-induced burning sensation within one’s muscles.

Dropped car off at the garage on Monday morning, then Mum and I headed off to Westfield London. Is huuuuuuuge! Then back to the flat and off to the London Eye. Hate that thing, way to high. Dave also told me all about the emergency procedures which is all I could think about.

This is seriously the shortest flight I have ever been on. 25 minutes, Zurich to Geneve in an A320. Think we only go upto about 17000ft. Often it takes longer to get your luggage at the other end. Not even time for a meal service which is probably a good thing as all I have done in the past 24 hours is eat.

Nothing exciting here but I can never ever remember the route we take from Europe to Asia or vice versa. So geeky me, has decided to blog it. Someone may find it interesting. Completely off topic… So looking forward to my Mad Miff (chicken, pine nuts, peppers and red onions with a scattered of tortilla chips on top) pizza tonight and maybe a few diet cokes.

Just for some general knowledge, did you know the longest non-stop commercial flight in the world is from Singapore Changi to New York Newark (actually in New Jersey) and is 9529 miles and takes on average 19 hour 10 minutes on the outbound and 15 hours 50 minutes on the return.

Here I am, sitting in a hotel room waiting for my A380 flight to Zurich. Can’t wait for the 13 hours of fun and excitement to beginning. Zurich is a new A380 destination for SQ. I believe this is the first flight to ZRH in the A380 by Singapore Airlines.

I’m watching some silly movie with the kid from Weeds in it. Think its called “It’s Complicated”. What a load of rubbish. Waiting on my vegie meal so I can then go to sleep. I’m actually really hungry as I have eaten since dinner last night (was a really nice bbq at Dads). All full now.

Love New York. Love New York. Arrived early on Friday afternoon and made our way from JFK to Manhattan. All rather uneventful and quick for New York. The hotel room, although not 5 star, is small, compact and clean (Wellington Hotel). 

We have been planning for weeks to go out today, just Greg and I. It’s chucking down in Seytroux, so who knows what it will be like in Morzine or Avoriaz. Oh, what to do. Obviously made worse by my paranoia of not getting home or the car (with snow tyres) sliding off the road.

First up we head down through the trees to the bottom of the Pleney, then up in the chair lift, rather than bubble as the bubble had a massive queue. Then got on the other chairlift to the top of the Pleney. From there we headed to up another chairlift and down towards Les Gets.

Had a fantastic day skiing with Keithy and Davey but absolutely shattered now. Slopes were in amazing condition especially after the recent snow falls in the area.  An early night and an early start tomorrow, I think.

Now, ignore me in this photo but Rupert is huge. This photo I believe was taken one night when I was fast asleep and had no idea (thanks Greg). How small is Aoife? How cute is Aoife? I can’t believe how large Rupert is. He’s adorable though.

Christmas was good. Brent, Deb, Todd, Alex, Sam, Emma, Jason, Katrina and Fiona were all here. We spent the morning skiing and the evening eating, was in bed by 22h00. Was exceptionally tired. I think they all had a good time.

What I would do for a Tim Tam right now. The French have got pastries and bread sorted but haven’t sorted the whole biscuit thing out. I would even have a Pengiun instead.

It’s a cold Sunday in Seytroux. The fires lit, Greg’s out visiting hopefully another ChaletBook chalet, Aoife is a sleep and Ruperts inside. Not as cold as it has been though. We had snow about 2 weeks ago and more forecast this week. It’s on everyones mind if it will be a good or bad season.

I have escaped with Aoifie and hidden in the bedroom. Ruperts on the window ledge with his usual unimpressed look. Probably wondering why we have an elevated flat surface (table) in the middle of his “fall asleep in front of the fire spot”. It must be bizarre for a cat living with huuuumans.
