#IncomingLagoMaggiore #FoxTown

Friday 24th, 5.23, 1.1dg, 44.7ml rain since Wednesday. We have had it all in the last 48 hours, violent winds, rain and snow. The central heating was turned on Thursday morning early !!! I have waited as long as I could before flicking the switches, but it was too cold out to ignore it. Yesterday morning as we were walking in the sleet, the rubbish on the footpaths from the overnight storm front made for interesting foot actions, especially as it is in the dark at that hour of the morning. The snow was lying on the rooves and the felds at daylight, but rain dispatched that through the day yesterday, leaving a beautiful winter snow line around the mountains. Those in the know say it will not last. The forecast is for a mixed bag today improving over the weekend with a uninterrupted sunshine week next week. Yesterday I went to Bludenz to collect a TV repair and do a few chores, then back home to light the fire and look after myself... am battling a head cold, the last thing I need with a big weekend coming up. Today is a full day of tuition starting with the Friday conversation girls then two junior and one senior tuition... I will probably be able to close the door around 19.00, so will pack my little case through the day as we have an early departure to Induno Olona, Lago Maggiore. We are staying at the Villa Porro Pirelli which places us well for the things we have planned for the long weekend. School is on holiday here next week so I have a week of limited tuition but all the conversation groups continue to meet. I made a pathetic attempt to clean up the wind blown debris from the terrasse yesterday afternoon, but when you feel like total C*** then you never make a good job of it. It can wait until next week in the sunshine. Happy weekend ... :)
