Ski Instructors Report 13 January 2013

The weather was very warm at the start of this week but turned colder towards  the end of the week. The clients enjoyed good skiing conditions. Although the  snow was getting thin in places until the snow cannons were able to make snow.  The forecast for next week is for temperatures down to -15 , with snow forecast  for every day.We must wait and see if  the forecasters are correct.

I had a very jolly apras ski this week;  firstly , I was in Quo Vadis listening to Mike ( Arinsals top entertainer)  perform when a girl from my class came in with some friends, she got me up to  dance, we boogied, we danced to smoochy tunes and I supported her in  Karaoke. Next day in class, she admitted  that she and her friends and had been out drinking earlier and was very drunk  when she arrived at the Quo.I found  this information devastating, I thought that she danced with me as she thought  that I was devastatingly handsome and had irresistible charm. NO, she danced  with me, because she had on her Beer goggles So you see lads, even ladies wear them  occasionally

I went to hear Mike at the Palarine on  Thursday Party Night following their splendid Oriental buffet. He had an amazing  supporting act , Josh Cuell, of the Palarine, who performed Gangster  Style/He was great. So  good in fact, the following night he was invited by Elvis to close his act in  the Quo Vadis. The show ended with thunderous applause. (Elvis is alive and  appears each Friday evening.)

As previously reported Friday Night is Music  Night in Arinsal, with live music in the Arinsal bar, El Cau, Quo Vadis,  Bogarts bar and the Derby. I find it hard to fit them all in. I arrived at the  El Cau just as the band finished their final session. I did not hear them play  but it looked as if the joint was jumping.

I am returning to England next week for some  eye treatment, so I hope that the forecasted snow does not delay my bus trip to  Barcelona. I am looking forward to seeing my family and my badminton friends  again and to appearing in four performances of Fawlty Towers on the Groundlings  Theatre in Portsmouth. I have minor role and my daughter plays one of the main  characters, Polly.

There may or may not be a report next  week.
