It's the most wonderful time of the year.

We have now decorated our appartment, complete with Christmas tree:

 with presents under it:

though they're not real presents, and stocking above the fireplace:

 I think Dave and I did a pretty good job!

Went for a swim today and Mark and Alex happened to be up there too so we all played some poolsket ball . . .that's basketball in the pool, which was good fun.
I also swam 40 lengths, which I also did yesterday. I've been feeling some definite improvement in my ankle . . . I think, so hopefull on track for skiing by christmas!

Up, up and away!
