Hello again!  

I've been missing in action for a little while and yep, there's definitely been some action in these parts.  

i thought I might make this post a follow up one about my son who is currently down working the ski season in NSW.  

He amazes me that young man and his determination blows me away.  As I mentioned previously, he went down while still in plaster.  The start of the ski season ended up being delayed for 2 weeks and his new employers had agreed to a later start date for him.  

When he told his Work Cover person that he was bored, they negotiated with his new employer to put him on light duties that he could do until he had a full clearance.  My son was delighted with this!  

The weekend before he was due out of plaster, they had a blizzard and he and his girlfriend went out to capture some footage of the snow.  During his exploring of the snow, he managed to get his plaster wet so ended up cutting it off that night.  

He saw his specialist the next day and started physio the same week. Between physio and the gym, where he is working with a former olympic skier (who operates the gym), his foot is improving slowly but surely. 

He has also learnt how to snowboard (I know, I was a bit alarmed about that too when it was so soon after) and has taken to it like a duck to water.  He loves it!  And has been sending a steady stream of beautiful snow pics from on top of Mt Kosiousko. 

He's enjoying it so much, he's applied for a job to work the ski season in Japan and thinks he might like to work a few ski seasons in various places.  I think it's safe to say he has the travel bug!  

Well that's it from me today.  I will aim to be back sooner rather than later! Have a great week :)
