Day 6 - I appear to have angered it.

22:00

Bleurgh. The very briefest of updates today. My sleep overnight is terrible. My health tracker provides a score on a scale of 1-100. I average somewhere around 75. Last night's score was 28, and I slept for a total of about 3 hours. Not good. I was very wakeful, coughing and spluttering my way through the night. I'm rapidly running out of tissues, so frequently have I had to blow my nose.

Conscious I only have 2 days left, I attempt to get my ski gear on around 09:00, but this merest of activities knocks me sideways. Duvet day for me. I watch some TV, and a movie, read by book for a while. I doze intermittently. My only activity is a quick trip down to Sherpa to grab some supplies. The walk back up the hill to my apartment nearly finishes me off. I'm disappointed more than anything else. There was some fresh snow overnight, but it's a beautifully bright and sunny day. Conditions on the mountain would have been sensational today.

Sounds like SSJW had a straightforward journey home. Quick transfer down the mountain, a MUCH easier departure from Torino airport than our arrival into it, and the quickest of journeys home from Gatwick, given they live all of, ooh - 2 miles away from the airport.

My dinner is a simple pasta dish, the cooking of which is a draining task. I have a super hot shower, and head to bed in decent time, hopeful of a better sleep, and a much better day tomorrow.Read more
