Calthorpe Park Ski Italy Monday 01 April 2013


Chelsea play Manchester United in the FA Cup quarter final replay this afternoon so I’m on a mission after ski-ing today!
Ski-ing is once again fantastic with Paul taking us to the highest run, Alpina, a very long red run that is a delight. I wasn’t too sure to begin with but am really pleased to have done it.

After lunch I go in search of a bar with the football on as it kicks off at 13:30. I can’t find it anywhere and end up in a bar called La Botte which advertises all English football on sky but the problem is it is on ITV. The owner of the bar tries every channel for me but to no avail so I decide to sit and have a drink anyway and be kept updated by my various text messages. They have the internet here (something that doesn’t work very well in the hotel!) and I manage to get radio 5live on my phone so excitedly fumble for my headphones which are tucked away at the bottom of an awkward pocket and connect them to my phone. As I tune in I’m informed that due to some contract rights this programme cannot be broadcast! Marvellous!
Chelsea win 1-0 to progress to a Wembley semi final against the other Manchester club, City.

I manage to get a little work done after the football.
