26 January - 1 February 2009


After 6 hours of back to back private ski lessons, Simon decided to get his feet out of his ski boots and do some snow boarding. Soon after that we went to the hospital. Caspar and the director of the ski school both suggested that he might just about get away with snowboarding, but he was too old to be attempting the box jump in the snow park! So he took the rest of the week off work while the pulled ligaments in his shoulder repaired themselves. 4 days with only the use of his right hand - he spent some time developing his newly-found artistic skills. 4 days with Simon at home looking after the children - Justine spent some time learning to snowboard, and practising the box jump (on skis).
