I'm off to France in a few days for my first ever ski trip.
I hope to return to sunny Stafford in one piece to resume the tedious job-searching business.
I really should write journal entries more often, but tend to put them off until I feel I've acheived something, and that's been a rare feeling of late - even if/when I do do something useful and difficult, I was generally confident before I started that I'd succeed, so completion is rather an anticlimax. One of the perils of ageing, I guess.

Thanks, Saturnine
I'm honoured - I didn't realise anyone visited my userspace these days 
. I hope to take a few photos (note to self - reorganise photo website after returning), and pray my slightly world-weary knees will survive the week.

Skiing!! I seem to remember you mentioning that on your visit. I also seem to remember mentioning that I like MY feet firmly on the ground! (I`m a coward basically!) 
When I was a child, only ONE roller skate ever got used! As long as I could keep one foot in contact with the ground, I was alright.
Let me know how you get on with the job search because I may be on one at the same time. 
Completion isnt an anti-climax, it only feels like it. Challanges are not MEANT to be beaten. We`re not supposed to actually DO it!
Its like getting on a roller-coaster, convinced that we`re going to be sick and getting to the end of the ride intact! That would be disappointing!
Ageing just means that it takes more to take us to our limits. We`re not so easily pleased... or sickened. (Hopefully!) 
Personally, I think that you`re going to have a fantastic time in France.... just avoid the crevices.

Your journal entry popped up on my list of postings because I have you in my friend's list, not because I visited your PS. Visit my PS and you'll see your names at the top now, thanks to the viewer tag.
I could list the perils of ageing - but I won't.
Have a great time, Potholer, come back safe and un
