COLD!

Don't really know whay I am surprised! After all it is the winter and I am in the Alps at nearly 2000m, but it is pretty cold and today in Val d Isere I was wearing my heavy duty gloves and my fingers were still cold. It doesn't help when you have to take them off to video the clients either but hey...it's part of the gig.
I am settled into my new studio now and I like it. Even I, a contender for the most untidy person on the planet, has to make an effort to keep things under control when living in a limited space.
I am going to be working in VdI for the next 3 weeks or until after New Year which means a slightly earlier than normal start for the 20 min or so drive, but I quite like it and can crank up the ipod for the trip. It is however slightly surreral to be driving through such spectacular Alpine scenery listening to Neil Oliver describing a walk through the jute mills of Dundee thanks to the open university and itunes. Good stuff though.
Ste Foy opens on Saturday so even though I am not working at the weekend and it will be the last proper time off till mid January suspect I will have to go for a ski. Snow is forecast for the weekend and next week and it is also supposed to be windy so I will make a final decision on the day.
Until then the calm, clear and cold conditions will have to do and I will try to limit the video sessions!
