Saulire Sessions


Our rep, Kyle, has left us to go back to his job on Barry Island (hotdogs and candyfloss served up by a gypo on the back of a donkey) as a tree surgeon. We are all very saddened by this and my ritual of an after ski cigarette and a beer on his balcony will be severely missed. I will not miss ‘the rage’ that seems to occur whenever he consumes large amounts of alcohol but still…there is a gaping hole left in the resort.

There is currently a cold sore epidemic in our resort. It started with Lucia, my bad influence as A refers to her. It popped up when she was run down a couple of weeks ago and since then about 7 other people have developed some very unattractive lips. It is difficult to tell how exactly it has been spread about and the order in which it has happened but it is fair to say that many of my colleagues are perhaps feeling the love for each other a little too much.

A has become a little cocky with work now that she is nailing the budget and continues to turn up late and leave me in the lurch, it’s fine though, I’m just biding my time to take all the time I’m owed at once – might take a week off.

So I have finally made the decision with regards to what to do later this year… I’m sacking off uni and doing another season. I’ll be coming back to the same resort to run a chalet with my friend Anna. A is still unsure but will potentially be coming back as a rep.

As I am no longer going to be doing the music management course I have been putting off for 3 years it seems the music promoter within me had been getting itchy eardrums. About 2 weeks ago myself and some friends came up with the idea for the ‘Saulire Sessions’. We are basically bugging any local musicians we come across to cram into one of the ski bubbles with us and film a short acoustic session to be released on youtube as an online series.

We have filmed several already and there are more on the way, these can be viewed at www.youtube.com/sauliresessions

For now, a plus don la bus.
