Friday 27th January
This has been another lost day for me. I did actually get dressed for the first time since we arrived, which gave me an opportunity of appreciating my returned luggage. I haven't had much opportunity to appreciate it before now - I just got out a nightie, clean knickers and my sponge bag, and that's all I have needed. I am still feeling awful with this very heavy cold, cough, sinus problem and general debility! (The spell checker on this iPad does not like 'debility' and wants to change it to 'senility'. I have trouble with that too...)
At least today I have had no need to regret feeling too ill to go outside. It has been snowing fairly constantly since we awoke, and visibility is limited, so there are not even nice pictures I can take out of the window.
Paul went off to an early ski lesson, but felt unable to keep up and went off to ski some powder by himself. He was back for a late lunch, having decided to give his legs a rest, as visibility was poor. We are neither of us as fit as we were when we left Manchester in August; that's what touring round in buses and cars does for you. Also, of course have done no skiing for 2 years, owing to his ruptured Achilles tendon. We are both feeling the altitude a bit - in fact I get out of breath just walking round the condo. I am far worse than he is; mind you, I'm having difficulty breathing anyway because of the cold and sinus problem. Nevertheless, I am a bit worried by the fact that just standing up and taking a couple of steps causes me to be out of breath. Packing ready to leave tomorrow has been a bit of an effort, needing constant rests. I'll be quite sorry to leave this nice condo, though glad to get away from the clog dancing neighbours.
