So another good week is finished. Big News! We've upgraded to Matlab 2014b on the computers we're working on for the Projet Industriel (PI) :D Woop woop! This makes my life a lot easier and I'm so happy! Less geeky news: The bike season has started!
 |
| The shorts season has also started! |
This years first off-road bike trip was awesome! I was kind of nervous that I'd forgotten how to do it, but all is well. It must be true that you never forget how to ride a bike! Automatic pedals on the other hand... But I only had to fall over once to remember that you have to clip out, so not too bad :)
 |
| Yes, shorts AND t-shirt! |
This was the first nice and warm sunday here this season so there was people everywhere. (Cleverly not showing in the photos.) Some nice scenic photos to prove this:

You are by now probably asking yourself "Has Inger forgotten about the Alpes and the snow?". No, of course not! I went skiing on Saturday :)
 |
| Les Deux Alpes |
This time with some friends from uni. It seems a bit weird complaining about having to get to uni for 8.15 every morning when during the weekends we have no issues about leaving Valence at 6.15 to get to the slopes on time. Most people try to get a lay inn Saturday morning, but not us. On the other hand, it's totally worth it!
 |
| Lunch time! |
But it's not free this lift based skiing, so we try to save a couple of euros on bringing a packed lunch. Money later spent on hot chocolate (beneath the mountain of whipped cream) and cookies.

The snow conditions wasn't ideal for off-piste to day, so the afternoon was spent in the park. No (serious) injuries, pride and dignity a bit bruised though :p
 |
you can't see the kicker, it's too small...
But it was fun! |
Heading down from the mountain was however pretty sweet! The sun had been shining all day and produced nice slushy "påskesnø"!

| water on the lens, otherwise pretty nice! |
I'm pretty happy about my weekend, the next won't be quite as sporty and scenic I'm afraid. There's a thing going on called "Le Challenge"... I'll come back to that next week :)
