Rumour Control and Other Gossip
There are no secrets on a ski resort. No matter how quiet you think you are being, how careful you protect your privacy; someone somewhere knows your business and shares the information with everyone else.
As a result of this there are also lots and lots of rumours flying about. Some true, some completely fabricated and others which are based on fact but get distorted by Chinese whispers. I thought factories were bad for rumour control but ski resorts take the biscuit.
Here are a few things I have heard on the grapevine, remember- take most of them with a pinch of salt!
- Someone has handed their notice in
- Someone is pregnant
- People are falling out
- There is no Father Christmas
- Black runs are easy
- There are lots of inter-staff relations, most of which only last one night
- There are lots of staff-guest relations, most of which only last one night
- Our resort has drunk more red wine than any other resort
- Someone arrived at resort a virgin, but is no more!
I’m not telling the names in these rumours, to protect the innocent!
On a completely different subject, I have broken another dishwasher! That’s three now. There is a growing pile of broken dishwashers in the garage, most of which I have used at some point during the season. So at the minute I have the most expensive draining board in the resort.
Me and one my guests have had a smashing time this week, so far between us we have broken two casserole dishes, two ramekins and a glass. She has been banned from the kitchen for the rest of her stay, for her own good and the sake of my crockery.
Today it is snowing, so I am catching up on things. Have I told you about the ultimate multitasking? Whilst having a shower I throw my dirty clothes in the bath with me and wash clothes and me at the same time.
I have started eating again, hopefully I will be active enough not to put on all the weight I had lost, but the call of cake is strong, and I am drinking lager in the pub, I know, never thought you would hear me say that did you?
Take care everyone, and remember, don’t eat yellow snow! xxx
