#NewWeek

Monday 16th, 5.17, -5.9dg out my window and we have a forecast for clear and fine through until next Saturday... wow. Forecasting for the mountain mostly dry. Freeze-thaw conditions (max 2°C on Mon morning, min -6°C on Sun night). Yesterday dawned a stunner, so I was out on my lang lauf skis early. As punishment for a lost Saturday I decided to go around the feld using arm movement only.. double poling all the way had me breathing like I was running up hill... a good idea I thought to myself, tomorrow will tell the story, but this morning my shoulders are fine so the punishment was not as drastic as I first thought. Perfect. Was it an AFD yesterday? ... not on your Nellie...no chance of that when you are surrounded by others and your lack of will power is massive. Oh well, it was Sunday. New week. The early afternoon was spent watching Ladies second run Slalom from Vail that I had recorded, and then down into the wine cellar to start the sort and biff process, not of the wine and associated, but the left hand side where I keep all those maybe I need them things and dry goods store. I think this is called progress. The late afternoon I wandered down to the Montafoner Schanzenzentrum in Tschagguns as the littles from the combined ski clubs were having the second of their third jump series of the season. Even jumping off the smallest jump I would think takes courage and the youngest was 6... impressive work. heart emoticon It was so crisp, clear and VB cold down there, standing on snow for over an hour. Karen had bought a bottle of prosecco with her so we were very civilised drinking from crystal glass as we watched her two boys nail the jump. I bailed at 18.15 frozen to the bone. Today is the start of a new week... a 10 am appointment with the Frauenarzt in St Anton i Montafon this morning.. just love these annuals, but a girl has to be sensible. The fifth member of my in house family arrives today from Rome, now we will see my little house bulge at the seams as they are all here until Saturday, this is a long stay as my normal visitors come for 5 days or less, and this family are here for 8 days. All good and I do not even know they are here. This week sees the start of Fasching in ernest here in Schruns. Tomorrow is the big Faschingsumzug ... Tuesday could be a busy day.
