Chffing down
... it together. Had I managed it 8 minutes before I would have not been given a 'time out' by the darned machine. Most of Verbier has a weird habit of turning off washing machines between 11.10 and 12.30 and 13.00 and 20.00. No other applicance, or sauna or ski lift, just the washing machines! Grrr.

Then whipped brie de meaux with the ...
Chalet Time - Deeep clean!
... air and investigate our surroundings. Found the ski lifts and the shops & bars. Cracked on with more cleaning when we got back. Had dinner round Greg & Emilys with the nannies, 18 in total.
