Woke to a........nother gloomy morning and so was not able to do a long tour. Skated out to Watchbed Creek again and then up McKay Rd and down Aitken's. My face got a good ice blast (exfoliation) when skiing into the wind. I'm feeling a liot more confident - my new boots are good and knee is holding out. There's not many people here but l still managed to find a few to talk to during the obligatory breaks.

Woke to a pretty gloomy morning (a bit damp) at Falls Creek before heading out skating. Although the tracks were good, visibility was limited to a few feet and there was a strong wind. I went across the dam wall but returned pretty quickly. My skiing technique and confidence was a lot better than yesterday.

Falls Creek. An hour of classical skiing in the morning followed by about an hour and a half skating in the afternoon. Fabulous groomed snow and the scenery was fantastic, but my body (knee and upper body) were not as good as they should be. Raced out to Watchbed Creek, only to find a big headwind on the way back.

Run around Reef Hills with Peter. Felt sluggish from not doing enough exercise this week. On out return we saw a kitten climbing up into underneath the car. We looked under and prodded with a stuck, started the engine (after checking) and tooted the horn, then figured it must have escaped without us seeing. About a km down the road and driving at about 80km/hr, l looked out the back window and saw it jump/fall out of the car, land on its feet and run into the bush. Poor little thing!
