#CrazyLazySaturday

Sunday 15th, 5.20, -3.1dg with a clear night sky of stars outside. Forecasting for the mountain a dusting of new snow. Freeze-thaw conditions (max 3°C on Tue morning, min -6°C on Sat night) Yesterday was a beautiful weather day again... one that I had mapped out carefully to get my " to do" things done. I had the best laid plans and we know what they say about having those... it could have been so easy, really, but it all started to look like going pear shape by 9.00am as I walked out of the drive with a massive trolley of recycling and I bumped into a girl who lives further down the road. Stop, chat, and she asks me what I am doing. Explain, and then I stupidly say as it is Valentines day I am going to pop into Josef's Platz after I have done the recycler and have a glass of prosecco before I do my handful of groceries...Ohhh what a fab idea she said, what time? Ohh half an hour I say... Wrong move Moochie, bad, silly, crazy on all counts. I got home at 11.45 after a super morning but in no state to go out onto the lang lauf trail, no lunch prepared, so a long wait for food, and in the mood to carry on. A nana nap was required after I had finally eaten and that was then technically the end of the day... incoming text from a girl friend " Drinks tonight "? Silly not to really. 19.30 was the meet time and we would walk up to the village. I then found that someone had dropped off a lovely basket of flowers by my dining room door while I had been on my bed... I was spoilt yesterday. Last night we sat happily in the "Bodega Anchel", in Dorfstraße, a small tapas bar specialising in all things Spanish. but Austria is so backward with their smoking policy... we left smelling like ashtrays and all my clothes are out on the balcony. It spoils going out for me when there is nowhere with a no smoking policy, in the Bodega they say no pipes and cigars... go figure. So all in all, for a day that was going to be filled with good physical exertion in the sunshine, saw my only exertion in the movement of my elbow and my vocal chords all of which was indoors !!! C'est la Vie. Today will be an AFD, and I will be outside. Yesterday Shiffrin did a fabulous job of the Slalom, today is the last race from the WC in Vail, Men's Slalom.. I have a podium picked but time will tell. Happy quiet Sunday.
