Ruthie always knew that her encyclopaedic knowledge of national flags would come in useful one day. (Turkey, ok easy..but Czech republic?) So she will be enjoying the fruits of her labour tonight: free Pizza. :-) And yes..I've taken some pictures. Including some of me on my bottom.

I'm a pretty reasonable skiier though a bit of a slacker I'll admit. And we only have your word you're any good. Anyway you only have 2 days left, nya nya. How would you know?

Get Rog to carry the camera if you are that worried, but in truth the risk is slim - I've never done anything like that & I'm always carrying a camera or camcorder. It'll be a shame if there are no pics of you skiing - I'd love to put one on the blog. Pretty please? Was he a rich elderly masseuse by any chance ;) Moi jealous? pfff you wish.

Although of course I know thats not the case. I'm sad to say that I haven't taken any pics, as I'm terrified of either smashing my camera or breaking my ribs by landing on the camera on one of the more spectacular falls. Spent three hours on the board this morning and feel as though I've played two games of rugby. :-( Still had a fabulous massage from a male masseuse last night, heh heh :-) anyone reading this might form the impression that you were an incy wincy bit jealous yourself.

Still at least the snowboard won't have jealousy tantrums :) I do hope you are taking lots of pics & preferably an embarrassing one of you falling on your arse. … you should be aware I have a new love in my life, purchased today …

I did have a glamorous picture in the moving in section when I moved to my previous job so I don't see why I shouldn't do it again. Hmm...wonder if the gazette would print a photo of me in my pink leathers... To Geeklawyer: you should be pleased I'm thinking of you. But you should be aware I have a new love in my life, purchased today. My new snowboard... I'm not saying that boarding is better than sex, but it comes a very close second.

Who'd want keep <strong>her</strong> when there are so very many younger slimmer prettier solicitor-advocates around? To compound her sins she is sitting in a Bulgarian Internet cafe writing blog comments when she should be be skiing! How sad is that?! At least I use my skiing time productively: drinking lots of mulled wine in the mountain restaurants. The idea of Ruthie being a kept woman is, of course, absurd.
