And she's back

We had a lovely time skiing -- the weather was variable and I took one day off as I could not see to ski -- but the hotel was a delight and a joy, and the days I did ski were great fun.
And we came back and the cats deigned to notice us and the boiler was leaking... And the marquis had a 36 hour turnaround before being sent off to Detroit and Concord and Boston and LA for work for nearly two whole weeks. I am not whelmed by this latter, not one bit. He set off at 7 a.m. this morning, and I waited in for the boiler man, who was prompt and efficient and yay, it works again. But I failed to write, due to being too tired to think.
However, in the doubleplusgood column, mid-afternoon [livejournal.com profile] mkillingworth arrived for a few days, which is wonderful. We don't see enough of her these days and she is lovely company.
How are you all? What have I missed?

Ooof. Sorry to hear about the boiler and the Marquis being sent off, but glad you had a nice vacation. I'm also quite impressed by your skiing ~ my family went skiing in Colorado two years ago for the first time ever. I enjoyed it... but it did not take long for me to discover that skiing is Not My Thing. :D

It took me years to start liking skiing. But the marquis loves to ski and he really wanted me to ski. And I did eventually learn to love it, but I'm not ever going to be better than intermediate and I'm not brave!
