it’s been a while
and what have i been doing?
mainly partying, working, and some riding.
jack and nastia left, with a big party before that, so there was a hungover day in martigny, which was nice, purely for escaping the verb.
some of us have made plans for may. so after i meet dad in albania, hopefully with nicola, and climb a mountain. after that ian and his girlfriend courtney and possibly alex will fly down and meet me, and we’ll spend a month or so touring eastern europe. i have been wanting to do this for many years, so i can’t wait!!! i looked at heading to russia, but there is no way i am driving, let alone taking my car there, so maybe we’ll head to warsaw and fly into russia, to see moscow and head to st. petersburg to meet nastia.
there is a possibility of heading up to holland for queens day, which is the biggest dutch party of the year. it’s at the end of april.
we have a new flat mate, stef. she works in l’atelier, with rob, and just got out of a messy relationship, but she’s a super nice girl.
i have applied for a canadian visa! so this is a once in a lifetime thing, so if i don’t go, i’ll miss out on the opportunity to work and travel in canada! so it seems that i’ll be spending a year of my life in canada! another great thing in the planning.
today’s riding was phenominal (not a word used to describe riding), AWESOME!!! we had lots of snow over the past 3 days, and today was clear blue skies. i was lucky enough to ride with some real good guys, which always makes it better.
we’re due plenty more snow within the next week, so yeh, it’s going to be a great time!!!
check out this cool guy’s music, wax tailor:
so it seems that i should update more often, being that this is soo long!
well tonight i’m staying at home with a movie alone, which shall be nice

so i’ve had two days off. i’ve mainly been partying, and a bit of skiing.
monday i hurt myself a bit. i was doing a rail in the park, and was super tired, biut hung over, so i fell at the end, and then after my body bouncing off the rail, i hit the ground hard, and hurt my hip. so i hurt the whole left side of my body. i’ve been taking it easy and skiing the past 2 days.
did i mention that i bought some skis? well i have, they’re kinda park skis, but good all rounders.
so tomorrow i have french lesson, and then am heading top martigny, so a day off, and work in the evening, so yeh, time to chill, except the partying tonight.

yesterday i wasn’t feeling too well, i thought it was the alcohol consumption the evening before. but then i had to visit the toilet way too many times, and once i got to work i could barely keep myself from passing out.
work was slow, so i was sent home. so i stumbled to nicolas and lay n they’re sofa almost unconscious.
after i dragged myself home, i managed to watch a film with Marije(rob’s girlfriend who is quite ill). from duck til dawn 2 which is great fun. i couldn’t stop sweating and shivering. so i slept for 14hours, sweating sweating sweating. i just woke up and my lips were so dry they felt like they were going to fall off.
but i feel better now, and i hope i can manage work this evening.
so my bos said i’d be on part time, and on a salary of SFr1600. but i got my rota for this week and i’m doing 40+ hours, so i have to have a word with my boss about pay.
at least i finally have a day off tomorrow, which if we can get enough people together then we may take a trip to chamonix.
oh and yay, we should get some snow this week!!!!!
No commentsthe cas bah
crazy night, no money, ace.
after finishing work early at 1am carla n i went to the pub, met her mates was cool, so we went to cas bah after it closed at 2am.
met so many many rich guys, that weren’t complete twat. one famous guy with table with 3L bottles of vodkja.
some banker from geneva.
so lots n lots of free drinks. not to mention emily on the bar giving us one each time we said hey.
but at about 5 am i got chatting with a kosovan who was in town on family money. we had such a heated discussion about the western civilisation, me arguing if he hated it, why join in, of all the places verbier. well he had a bottle of liquer in his hand, so shot shot shot every few minutes.
on the way home i bumped into some mates having the most full on fight ever, for fun, going harder than u’d see in a film, so entertainment.
the kosovan guy who i met was hanging out os a car with about 15 people in, so no lift for me, but i got pain au chocolat!
though lost my phone, but replacement sim on the way, but lost of my new contacts form the winter.
so crazy crazy night, and not looking forward to work later.
oh and on the work front i’ve been offered a job for the rest of the season! ace!

i calculated that the average that i have worked each day is over 13hours! i’m soooo exhausted. today we had to close early because the chefs were unable to cope, one passing out on the floor from exhaustion, not hangover!
so my job is just a temporqayry job, because alx called me monday tuesday 3am, saying, dude we need help, do you want to work? so i said yeh, and started at 11am. my job was just going to be 5 hours making burgers, but it turned into 15 hours, and i was asked to work until the 6th. i make chips, make burgers, prepare other food, fry onion rings, cook burgers, wash stuff, lots and lots.
the guys i work with are super cool. yesterday we were drinking at work,a nd the boss had lots of champagne. at midnight we were closed to join the party in the central place, getting soaked with champagne. then back to work. it was great fun. we finished around 5, so had a dance in the street and then home.
vince spoke of trying to get me a job for the season which wpould be ace, as long as the shifts are more humane.
oh and last night it was snowing lots so the party in the streets was great!!!!!!!
so yay, home before midnight, so sleep, and i dont start until 1400 tomorrow
