Anyone from the UK?

Greetings everyone,
In leaving the Alps. We had -17°C tonight, now we're at cozy -9.
I love travelling by train, especially when rolling through winter wonderland. Ok, my train is late, and I will probably miss my connection, but who cares? Winter is so beautiful outside.

Oh I'm green with envy!

Oh I'm green with envy!

I already spoke to the hut owner yesterday. Next year, same time, but half a week longer.
I love skiing.
And hiking, although I nearly froze my nose off yesterday evening in Little Canada. That's what the locals call the lower valley of the Schwarzwasserbach stream. It's pretty cold there, as it doesn't get much sun and the cold air accumulates there.
But it's beautiful.

 

[Hodes101]

I wouldn't ski. Just enjoy the view with a hot toddy or something. I've only ever done hot holidays and I wish to do a 'cold break' but never allowed lol.

Your loss.

You, ok, maybe not EXACTLY you, could parade wearing a tiny bikini at the beach all day and the only thing you get is warn feet and probably a sunburn. At the end of the day the only thing you achieved is being wanking material for other people.
I, on the other hand, did some skiing and had a nice walk through the enchanted forests and meadows under the majestic snowed in mountains. Hot chocolate never tasted so good. No beach bar can compete with hot chocolate in front of a cozy fireplace while your frost stiff coat on the hanger slowly melts.
Ok, I got some frost burn on the lips, because I've forgotten to put grease on my face but totally worth it.
FACE. The other ones were covered by three layers of wool. Just saying. As I said, wank material, beach.

 

[Hodes101]

Hahaha. I have never been described as wanking material before. Normally I'm just described as a big tree.

Your trip (aside from the skiing) sounds amazing, and is what I want to experience. Trees don't ski. We break branches (bones).

I see snow... well a few flakes... well maybe less than a few... I estimate at this rate it'll take all day to look like it didn't even snow.

Oh it's stopped...

 

[StrentWriter]

It’s snowing in Ealing.

And I am heading to the office for an unexpected meeting.

Really bad timing

 

[Meekly_Anna]

I'm back home. That means your grace period is over.

Or maybe not. I live on a side street that is the side street of a side street (if I count that way, I think I've forgotten one or two ‘side’ streets). That has many advantages. For example, the snow on the street looks really picturesque.
I'm just curious to see how picturesque it will be tomorrow morning when I ride my bike to work. Maybe I shouldn't have switched from a tricycle to a bicycle when I was three years old. Learning through pain.

 

[Meekly_Anna]

Tactics and strategy, focus tactics, camouflaging and deceiving, hitting the opponent where they are weakest, and then striking with optimal use of resources. Being generous where it brings an advantage, while at the same time relentlessly defeating the opponent.
These are the elements that make up a successful marriage. For example, I'm in the warm kitchen and have the tough job of getting something hot to eat on the table (i.e. heating up some minced meat sauce that I made two weeks ago and froze and cooking pasta), while the strong man in this relationship just shovels the driveway. I think the burdens are unevenly distributed. Maybe he'll have to hang up the laundry to dry later to make up for it.

It’s been cold on the bike these last two mornings, the ends of my fingers went numb through my gloves, yet my legs were fine even though I was wearing shorts

I'm sure he'd happily swap his shovel for your nice warm kitchen, and hang up the laundry

Cripes the trains are bad today.

Also feeling a bit embarrassed.

Not been the best mental health day

 

[DirtyGranpa66]

[jonnoback]
