Subject: Diary Update

Hi Guys,
Just another diary update...

Saturday 5th
I got up and did the usual routine of getting breakfast at Merlin's and then heading up the mountain. The weather was really bad today with it raining and being cloudy. We had a different coach today. I started out with hitting the jumps, but the mist came in so we soon couldn't do that. Pretty much the rest of the day I spent trying to do a trick onto the rail, which I still didn't get. It was one of those things that are easy but also hard. I went to lunch later today, and then headed down rather than going to ski more.  In the afternoon it was raining, so we stayed in and went swimming. We killed time by chilling out in the hotel room on the Internet checking emails, etc whilst waiting for dinner. We went to the Spaghetti bar for dinner and it was really good. Although I had a migraine so my meal was ruined because I wasn't feeling good. On top of not feeling good, I somehow managed to lose my wallet with $250 in along with my bankcard. I managed to get my bankcard cancelled but haven't got the wallet back. The most annoying thing about losing the wallet was I didn't plan to spend all of the money, so I could have given some back to my dad. I was really annoyed after dinner, but I played poker and then started watching a film before I fell asleep.
Sunday 6th
I got up today and headed down to breakfast.  Woodsy was coming up today, just to ski around as he has hurt his knee, which is unlucky considering he is coming to Saas Fee for a month with me after Whistler. The weather was really overcast which was annoying; I was hoping to get 3rd time lucky with nice weather. But the rest of the week is meant to be sunny, which I look forward to. We had a different coach today as usual. I went straight back up the mountain with one intention, to land the trick I had been trying all day yesterday, and I did it 3rd time lucky, was really happy. I also did some work on the jumps, and after that headed to lunch. It was quite late after lunch so I didn't think it was worth starting to ride again, so I headed down. When I got down, I did some stuff on my laptop, and then swimming again.

Hope you like it,
Josh
