Spa and a sauna
I'm really not much of a skier. I have had a day or two
on the snowboard each of the last few winters and rather
enjoyed it in much the same way as you rather enjoy
helping your friends build decking in their backyard.

Last weekend I went to the snow with the sole purpose of being extremely lazy.
I managed to achieve my goals through a strategic use of the Lying About maneouver followed by the power one-two of a long read of the paper and a long bath with book and a glass of wine. I was able to cross off a number of items from my 'next action' list such as: take a short stroll, sit on the couch reading some more of my book, bake some scones, yawn and stretch, carry snow from one spot to another, sudoku.
Bugger the snowboarding. This is how you're supposed to spend your time at Hotham.

That sounds like the perfect weekend except for the frankly baffling part that requires me to ask "Hey, what is a sudoku"
For comparison's sake, I spent the weekend moving heavy furniture.
In other words, well done.

That sounds like my perfect snow weekend. Except for the 'and a glass of wine' bit. Really, Harpo! 'A' glass of wine?
A glass of wine with my book in the bath. There were also beers during the strummy singalong, whisky in front of the fire and vodka when other things ran out and we started getting a little ridiculous. Please don't imagine I was limited to just a glass of wine.
Yes, Meva. It was close to a perfect snow weekend.
Chesty — welcome to my page! Just let your mind roam free. Picture what you will. Allow your imagination to conjure the most exciting pictures. I was merely relaxing in a bath reading one of the Russian classics if you must.
I'm Not Craig — A sudoku is one of those little puzzles that have popped up in every newspaper lately. They've become popular in the last few years, I suspect, because they're easier than crosswords and people prefer easy things. Well, I do anyway.
I think it would be pretty cool moving into my very own home — heavy lifting included. Hard work, yes, but still cool. Good on you.

That is my idea of a snow holiday.
One might argue I could better stay home.
But I like the idea of looking out the window at the snow.
Not actually going out there.

Quite so, Gigglewick. You don't actually have to go out in the snow to have a good time going to the snow.
I was talking to The Lads last week and telling them about my pleasant weekend and it was brought to my attention that I could have done pretty much the same stuff at home. But it's so much more enjoyable driving for four-and-a-half hours to relax and be indulgent than to relax and be indulgent at home — snow through the window or not.
