Listens: Eva Cassidy - Songbird

Woke up this morning and the animals were gone...

Well, m'back. Still absolutely knackered and weighed down by outstanding post-holiday homework, hence the silence for the past 4 days.

However, needless to say, it was absolutely fantastic - our instructor Pat(tie) was a complete legend, she took us on a red run only three days after the first time we'd had a pair of skis on, and I quickly became known as the Off-Piste Queen for my (deliberate) tendency to go off round the piste markers, up and down hills, over moguls and through the edges of a forest - I LIVED for off-pisting, it is SO GOOD!

Anyways, I'm still severely sleep deprived and have a million things to do, so ciao for now.

PS: Watch Pippa Haywood on BBC 2 at 9pm (the TV guide said she was "a joy to behold") and/or tape Oli Chris in Bonkers on ITV (I LOVE this, missed it last week, but it's so laugh-out-loud funny!)
