Day Fifty One - the man in black

Colours have the potential to make a big difference in how fat you look. This is something I discovered on this recent ski experience in Wengen. A darker colour is very slimming. But not, unfortunately, as slimming as actually being slim.

In truth, no matter which colour you employ, if you're a fatty, you still look fat.

With a 3 year old, as I mentioned before, there isn't a great deal of skiing that can be done. The main exercise is karting all your paraphernalia around, and his, and him as well, before you all scream in unison 'I can't take this anymore. I want something to eat - let's goto the restaurant'.

When we leave Wengen, there will be a much lower risk of avalanches. But also the restauranteurs will be sadder.

By the way, Tom Cruise is five foot seven. So I am taller than him. Just. And unfortunately definitely wider.
