#SimplePleasures #TimeOut

Tuesday 10th, 5.13, -9.3dg.. now it is getting cold out... forecasting good weather through until Saturday then incoming snow. On the mountain mostly dry. Freeze-thaw conditions (max 5°C on Wed morning, min -5°C on Mon night). A comment from my position.. if it is -9.3dg here in my garden then it sure as hell is not only -5dg at altitude. Yesterday started with an early session in the torture chamber.. I have suggested to my physio she renames her room appropriately as I have no pain until I am on her table. Back into the house before 8am. Snow clearing sorted, partially to get out in the first instance, and then to finish off on return. There must have been good wind with the overnight snow on Sunday night as it was backed up into my doorway. Endless possibilities open to me at that hour but discretion and all that stuff, so I sprinkled the stairwell carpets with the last of my clever carpet cleaner from NZ and set to having a small spring clean in the middle of winter. Halo bright and shiny. A day of house things that have been staring me down for a while now. I should have done a feld tour but chose the work inside instead. Today is another day for me... loving this... I have a friend making an early morning coffee and catchup call and then I am off into Bludenz for specifics. This afternoon is the time for my lang lauf skis.. hopefully the forecaster has got it right and the sun is in full dazzle mode, guaranteed there will be not stopping under the Zamang Bahn for sure. For sure. A head full of bubbles makes for a tenuous position on lang lauf skis and that in turn makes for a very steady trip home. With age comes experience in so many things.. this is what they tell me.
