Geoff writes: our Supporting Deaf People conference  opens Wednesday, the biggest ever. But most of the preparation work is done, so we decided to go skiing, though to finish early. We woke up, and it had snowed, there was a light covering here, so we checked the roads, but they were all open. In fact, it hadn’t snowed at Masella at all last night, so the roads were fine. It was a beautiful day, even less crowded than usual – Monday is always quiet – and great snow. It was very cold though – I know it’s supposed to be cold in ski resorts, but in fact if it’s sunny, it’s usually quite warm, especially sitting in the cafe having a break. But not today. Judith ended up with three layers of gloves – her free plastic petrol station diesel gloves on the inside, then some normal inner gloves, then her highly expensive ski gloves. She was just about warm enough with all those. It’s the diesel gloves which make the difference.

They flew in Santa Brigida again, and, I think, had a good day. The sky certainly looked good at Masella, with some nice cumulus.

And home to an evening of work.
