Dinner tonight consisted of vegetable/celery soup, no vegetables or celery could be found! Macaroni which I dislike but you need to eat, served with pork and carrots with 2 rings of pineapple for dessert. Phillipe had gone to bed earlier as he had a migraine but with a coke and some warm food he gained some colour and joined in the conversation the group is really bonding now, its another long day tomorrow as we descend all the way back down to Chamonix however if the weather good we have asked for a detour, I'll let you know tomorrow evening. Next is really bad news the Swiss weather forecast is not good for next 3 days making a summit attempt unlikely. This is devastating, as I really feel I can do this, My fitness has surprised even me, particularly after the last few weeks illness. Phillipe our guide says don't worry its only the Swiss forecast, its not very accurate! However the news is circulating fast around the refuge, all we can do is wait.......and pray that Mother Nature takes pity on us!
Its stopped raining so I get the boots on once more to hike about 50m straight up as its the only place you get a signal hence the delay in the blog, I get to speak to Rachel and the boys, which is great a real lift they are being very supportive and I love them dearly.
Lights out 3 nights to go!
