Yep have hit the pain killers - I have adhesive capulitise of the shoulder. It was coming right, threw my arm out to grab one of my NAUGHTY horses and totally have gone back to immobility of the arm. Feeling a little better today will be able to raise my drink with my left arm

Also please remember if you do lose your luggage or have an accident MAKE SURE you get a full report signed by the consulting doctor. to come back with injuries and Xrays is not enough.

Okay as the Niseko Drinks 22nd people reminise and depart I feel I am obligated to carry the torch and organise something for mid February. We will be in Niseko from the 12th with all our friends arriving on the 16th. Anyone want to get together for drinks in February!! I am sure we can out do the January Crew!!

I am hearing you VB. When I was younger I would ride and break any horse (with NO helmet). Fall off get up dust yourself off and get back on. Discovered as I got older you don't actually bounce as well even though I have MUCH MORE padding now I hit the ground and lay there in agony!! So I have taken up a much safer sport SKIING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We just picked our tickets up and the travel agent was blabbing on about how nice it was going to be going business class and I was Okay enough already my travel insurance does it cover snowboarding and skiing accidents, are we covered if someone else hits us. What do we have to do if we have an accident and need to claim back?
I think she thought I was a totally looney - I just said My Friends on Snowjapan Forums have told me to ask ALL the important questions! yep she has labelled my a totally looney
BUT we are totally covered! -

So many more sad stories coming out. One father managed to get his 5 year old in a tree and told him to hang on before the father was swept to another tree. He kept talking to his son telling him to hang on hang on. He prayed that it would get dark before the water level dropped so the little boy would see his dead mother and brother who were trapped in the car. The night before the mother was involved in a rescue of a woman who drove into a flooded road. -
A some good news in all this bad news my friends niece and family have all been found safe. All 10 horses tragically perished.
Just went to the supermarket to pick up some items for dinner NOTHING!!!!! Shelves are empty NO BREAD - NO MILK - NO Fresh Produce. It was a little scary. Was also told that 2 McDonald stores will close their doors tomorrow as they have run out of food and can't get any delivered as the bigger stores are being looked after first.
If roads aren't opened tomorrow our 2 local petrol stations will also run out of fuel.

You'll be able to see them being made

Very mild temps here in Furano. snow was a little crunchy this morning but we got a light dusting around lunchtime which gave a little covering.
