Hello everyone,
Here some images of underdog Jabi, Tommy "big lips" and myself. Jabi and I have just returned from a woodchopper weekend in Enfonvelle, France. There we were helping Tom to stock up his firewood by clearing his logs out of the communial forest. Click on the image below to view the album and further comments...

To all Irish teachers, who are in charge of approving school leave for ski holidays to Irish children. If you ski yourself, you will of course know that February and early March are the weeks to go for. Neither Christmas nor Easter can match as an alternative. Too many skiers on the slopes, queues in front of the lifts, packed restaurants, stressed and unfriendly staff and all this for rip-off prices. However, if you are not a skier yourself, you may need for some assistance – which I am happy to provide here.
Please consider your options. You can say “no”, this will guarantee that the pupil along with his or her parents and friends will have to stick to the high season. By doing so, the risk of ski accidents will be higher due to the crowds on the slopes. From a macro economical point of view, a concentration to a few hi-season weeks is non-sense (demand vs. room capacity, costs of infrastructure vs. number of hi-season days etc. …should you require details on this, please let me know). Or you could agree to the school leave. Generate happy smiles, lower the risk of accidents, level off the economical impacts of hi-season disadvantages and collect credits for your brave action :-)
I am sure you do the right thing!
Dear blirish (blogging-irish) and all other friends,
The author of this blog is tired of working his a** off and has decided to join his princess on a holiday to Namibia. Meanwhile our sleepy king of the house is being looked after by Reto and a bunch of other lovely friends and neighbours. Thank you guys! Anyway, that's that. No new post for another three weeks, by now you should almost be used to re-reading the same old posts again and again :-)
