Skiing has been pretty good considering a couple of weeks ago there was virtually no snow...you feel sorry for the people who rely on it for a living but that's the way with seasonal activities. One minute it's bust the next a half metre dump and everyone heaving a sigh of relief. Falls creek is apparently one of the best in the world for snowmaking. Having a break for the next couple of days waiting for the weather to clear. Saw my first blue bower bird in our backyard the other day! We get the young ones which are olive green but i hadn't spotted the male. They love our figs...along with every other bird!
As for faking it, I'm past master of that to the point that my family still don't know how bad i was coping at the time, except my husband and even then only some of the the time. Went away to Byron Bay with a group of long time girlfriends and ended up blowing up at them...i don't know who was shocked more, me or them, i think they were. But i figured later on when going on my cool off walk that if i couldn't say what i did to a bunch of good friends then they're not good friends. They certainly tiptoed round me for the rest of the day!
So today will be a day of relaxing, dog walking, walk down for morning tea and applique. I can hear king parrots calling, i love imitating them, they get rather confused!
