Broken!

(typing with just a left hand, so please excuse any mistakes)

So i havnt posted anything in a while because I've been out enjoying the snowboard lots. Maybe a bit too much, as it resulted in a shoulder separation on monday afternoon when I had a big crash close to the Wengen World Cup course. I'd like to thank the Swiss-French couple who helped me out, Rolf the paramedic, the helicopter team, the Dr. in Grindelwald and the attractive nurse that did my x-ray.

I'm all strapped up and full of painkillers now and yesterday went up to Kleine Scheidegg so some fresh mountain air and to enjoy the views. Got some nice photos of the surrounding mountains (click for full size).

I'm awaiting a call from a specialist in Interlaken about an operation on the shoulder, so staying patient and keeping myself entertained until then.

Alex wins!

Feeling rather pleased with myself today. I went to a job interview for a hotel porter position in Muerren today and while on the way there, had a phone call inviting me to a second job interview in Grindelwald.

The first went pretty well and then I walked back down the mountain to Lauterbrunnen though fresh snow, that was nearly a foot (30 cm for all you continentals) deep in places.

Hitched a ride up to Grindelwald for interview for the second job, which seemed a more appealing offer to me. There's a nice flat in the hotel included in the deal for just CHF 300 a month, which seems pretty good value.

Saw this in Interlaken on the way home, which made me giggle....

"But I might need to visit a sex shop halfway up the mountain!"
