The Ski Season has finished
Well and truly...after we got back from Sälen its rained or been warm every day, the last of the huge snow ploughed snow piles disappeared last week, and all that is left now is big pile of grit. It's pissing it down now as I look outside.

The view from high up in Sälen
This is actually atop the mountain at Tandådalen, on the one clear day that we had there. The skiing was great all week though, averaging about minus 5 each day with some fresh snow for several days at the beginning of the week. Perfect :-)

Wisdom Teeth
So I have my wisdom tooth removed on Friday, so I'm sitting around at home right now eating mostly soup and codine tablets. I think I was quite lucky really and although it hurts like hell and I can't eat, I think I got off fairly lightly as I only had to have one removed and I think it all went to plan. However this wasn't to say that I wasn't completely shit scared beforehand.....
Either way I've got a couple more days booked off work before I return, so I'm sitting here in a slightly dozy drugged state catching up on some correspondence and acting as a cat flap, which for the uninitiated is defined as opening the door every 5 minutes for one cat or the other to go in or out.

The Ski Season has started
Well the stockholmski season has started anyway. We went up to here http://www.vasjobacken.com/ yesterday, which is about 7km up the road from home. I bought some skis during the week so got to try them out for the first time. We're going out to buy some skis for sarah today, as she's got the bug of "not queuing". Hopefully this week we'll go up after work a few times, as its open til 10pm every night.
Skiing frenzy here we come :-)

Blog reorganisations
So , I've changed my template again, but I seem to have lost a few posts in the process. I've got to say though that I like the new blogger, and I've been waiting a while for it, cos I always assumed google would throw their development weight behind it. Hopefully it'l be more stable now, I'm certainly enjoying the new interface and features.
Maybe I should be using livespaces if I was a good MSFTE :-)
I've been browsing various cool things from Vegas CES this week, and its interesting to see that MS have some cool things going down...obviously I'm a total xbox live convert, which I did write about last week, but the post got lost and I couldn't be bothered to re-type it....but the thing we've been checking out this week is http://labs.live.com/photosynth/ which I think is way cool. The question is I guess is whether they'll chose to link it into other photo sources such as flickr etc, or whether they'll market it as independent. For example I was interested to note that the new Ford / MS tie in which allows you to do all sorts of computer based tasks inyour new ford is compatible with ipod as well as zune and other media players.
It's strange because for a server based person like me the whole desktop / interface / OS / macs are cool / linux is best / MS is the devil type of argument passes me by. I mean I'm aware of it but I don't get concerned about it like some people do - maybe this is my naivety...

Everybody's sick right now
Well, me, and the 2 cats, which is probably a bit depressing for Sarah....I've got the usual stomach upset, winter vomiting type of thing, although not as badly as last year, but it struckme coming home from go-karting in stockholm last night, and frankly it was not a pleasant journey -feeling marginally better now though - a bit up and down.
Kipper is going to the vet on tuesday because he has another fighting wound, on his neck this time, but it just won't heal because he keeps scratching it. We tried bandaging it at the weekend, but as you'll know if you've ever tried badaging a cat, they're very good at getting them off straight away, so we're taking to to the professionals next week.
And daisy seems to be just like me, throwing up and looking miserable, maybe we've exchanged diseases!!
Hopefully I'l be well enough to go and see everyone in London next week though.
