"The self is not something that one finds. It is something one creates."
Good Morning World.. Fri 13th, 4.04, -6.9dg... yip back home look at that outdoor temp !!! Flew into Zurich, landing yesterday morning... Singapore 28dg, Zurich with a little snow on the ground -3dg at 7.40am. Missed the train connection so whiled away 2 hours in Zurich main station waiting for the next connection.. strange being surrounded by the german language again. The Swarovski tree is inside the main Zurich station building every year.. a magnificent sight covered with crystal stars. Christmas is so close. Trip home was a long one, just under 13 hrs on board then another couple on the train... there is something very special about feeling unwashed and unkempt in public !! Sunshine in Sargans, snow flurries at the border in Buchs and then brilliant sunshine home here in Schruns.. had to shovel a path to get the cases up the drive to the front door. They say the skiing is brilliant so in a day or so I may pop up to my top office for an hour or so. New Zealand was fantastic.. filled with so many family and friends.. thank you all for making my return so happy. So back to the business of being here... house heating on but house only 13.5dg inside on arrival.. heaven knows what it would be like if it had not been turned on a couple of days prior to my arrival. Fire lit in conjunction with the central heating, but combination of jet lag, cold, tired and dark outside I was upstairs by 5.45. Now I am waiting for the timer on the coffee machine to turn on for the 5am ritual... #excited. Today I must deal to the mess upstairs here that is all the cases and then on with the Christmas preparation for all my incoming visitors. There does not seem to be an over abundance of snow on the feld behind the house so the lang-lauf is not ready to go which is a shame but the alpine is ready and waiting. A little store purchasing and collection of the mail all done around keeping the fire burning brightly. The unusually dressed woman by the Christmas tree is my sister who was sabotaged by work mates and this is the end result 10 days from her wedding... Bless. Thank goodness she is not the the fairy on top of the tree !! Nothing like a routine in your own little place... Home
