Back to Grey

Well, I’m back after a week of skiing in Sauze D’Oulx in northern Italy. What a great place! And it’s as active in the summer, with lift-accessed mountain bike trails, north shore stunts and all sorts… I’m tempted to say that I’ll get back there this summer, but swinging round in my chair and looking at the wallplanner of Doom, I see that I currently have seven free weekends between now and mid-October. That’s not many, especially as deadlines usually involve me working at least one weekend doing last minute panic things and subbing… Perhaps I’ll have to start zipping off in the week instead, but then when are we going to get round to writing the magazine. I guess it’s just a case of making time, rather than finding it…
