I got tonsillitis last week. Is it any wonder though when I went out partying till the wee hours on many consecutive nights...silly me. Still haven't learned that I can only push it so far before something gives. It was Basscamp the week before so had to take advantage of all the shenanigans going on. Made a friend who happened to be involved so got a rather fun insight and had an awesomely fun yet tiring week. Now I'm paying the price with daily visits to the Doc for some hardcore antibiotic injections. Still...it was worth it!
What is it about seasonaires and laundry rooms? Turns out that laundry rooms are very popular places to sleep in, or "sleep with" in. I know someone who unfortunately got pulled up by a manager for just such an incident. Yeah, laundry rooms (aka the abattoir), funny old places.
We have one week to go. One week of intense cleaning, eight chalets returned to their owners in pristine condition. That involves such wonderful tasks as toothpicking limescale off of taps, bleaching toilet brushes, flipping mattresses and cleaning on, in, around, behind EVERYTHING! It's the highlight of the season....Not really no.
One highlight was when we performed a goodbye dance for the last guests on Sunday. Yes, we actually danced them off. They must've thought we were totally mental! Anyway, guests are gone and we're cleaning and the town has gone very quiet indeed. Walking around tonight it was eerie, nobody about. I only just realised the other day that the Pleney bubble wasn't running anymore, I'd been looking at the mountain and couldn't place why it looked different to me. Unfortunately due to my tonsillitis I missed out on the best of the last minute end of season snow that we've had, but unbelievably it still is snowing high up, so Wednesday is the day for a bit of riding up in Avoriaz. Then that will most likely be it until next winter season. Excited already for that, and everything in between.
Wasn't too sure about being back in the UK for a bit but now I'm really looking forward to it. Seeing family, friends, little trips here and there to spend time with loved ones and the possibility of seeing the little idiot. One week to go, till the end of Morzine 2011-12 winter season, and what a season it's been!
