Oh Tannenbaum....
Julia and Emil "picked" christmastrees today. The big one for us, upstairs "under the roof", one small one for Grand(o)pa and for Evi in Füssen.

A cosy day
Friday. The house is full again. Julia has already got Christmasvacation, Niki has another week to go, with two exams.
It's been a rainy, windy day, reminding me of my childhood winters in Laholm. Cosy. Dark. Lot of candles. Baked two bananabreads, it smells so good! Taste good too, of course. For lunch we watched Super G from Gröden ( absolutely no calories, yes!). Later a seldom seen friend knocked on the door and we had warm gingerbrew with gingerbread, in my cosy kitchen and we had
ot of gingerbrew, during the cold part(s) of the year. Ínstead of having a flushot. I don't know if it works or not, but fact is (knock on wood!!!!) that I practically never get even a cold eventhough I often, more or less, freeze my ass of, during my hours on the pists. And my hands. And my feet. Last tuesday, another, even more seldom friend called. Lars Herrstedt.
After had, please continue here (because this stupid damned curser eats my text and this stupid damned thing destroyed the half context, yesterday evening because the internet broke and I'm about to loose my temper, this next morning GRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!! ok......... we had a nice long chat!!!
Then : ........ I drink a lot of gingerbrue...........................
Then : Lars Herrstedt. He took my out for dinner in the evening (Jungbrunn) and we had a nice long chat.
The rain changed into snow, now it's saturday morning , still snowing, but less wind. Another cosy day coming up!

PS Luckily I found my lost temper again - it isn't really worth loosing it because of a stupid computer ( I know!) - besides it's stupid ME, as usual, and NOT the computer. I KNOW :-))))))))))

Ni har väl alla förstoringsglas till hands?
Jag har just varit ute o isolerat kaninhuset lite till, för det har blivit kallare. Emil har varit ute o snöat halva natten. Nu sitter jag här o dricker te och mumsar lussekatter.
Jepp! Precis som i boken! Vilket bevisar att jag KAN om jag har TUR :-)

Bakery
Julia and I did some Christmasbaking yesterday, sunday. Some procedure as every year......
Niki helped too. He put the raisins in the Lussekatter.
As usual we had a jolly good time. It seems Julia likes my cinnamon"stars" - they are delicious and would probably survive a nuclear war.

Winter
At least more or less. It began in a pretty good manner during the week; lorries stuck on the roads, other lorries in the ditches, no coming through for hours. Getting to Innsbruck on Thursday took a loooooong time, including detours. Has everybody forgotten how to drive on snow, since last year???? In fact, the roads were almost free from snow, but nevertheless these lorries got stuck or drove in walkingpace with chains or blocke the half road putting on and off chains. Driving home over Fernpass, later in the evening was no problem, in spite of heavy snowfall and white road, because we were almost alone on the road then. Julia drove safely home. No problem!
In the night to Friday the snow turned to rain, the storm knocked some trees over and those in turn knocked some power lines over. But not so bad!
This morning was reminded me of the winters in Sweden; not very cold, quiet, patches of snow or patches of grass, grey sky, white snow, black branches, drip-drop......... It was very beautyful and very relaxing.
Later the sun came out and I took the cabin up to Emil, to try out the new winterhiking road.
Towards home, from the cabin, pretty far down.
Towards home from further up.
This weekend the skiarea opened up. Emil makes sure that everything is well prepared for all the broken legs and arms expected.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!!!
Perfect! We had wonderful dry weather until saturday, when we took down all leftover fences and brought the sheep back home for winter. Sunday was rainy and windy and real cosy :-) Then - exactly as we ordered end of october - it started to snow, monday morning. Now is tuesday evening and it's still snowing. Great!!!!
Got my doors ready today with beewax and polishin. By hand....puh!
Before
After.
The difference is more obvious in real. Come and have a look!!!!
Tomorrow is Innsbruck day, again. Intend to combine it with a photoexhibition, for a change. Best journalist photos of the year, from all over the world.
On thursday we have one of those marvellous catholic holydays again and so JuNi get a loooooong weekend. Emil too. For me it's all the same....... Plan to bake. Gingerbread. Reminds me, mustn't forget to buy ginger tomorrow! As the store is closed on thursday. Darn holydays :-) We ran out of swedish syrup last year so we'll make a try with maplesyrup. Tried some german stuff once - tasted like molasses. The sticky stuff you can feed pigs and horses. Not good! The gingerbread tasted like molasses as well. Not good! So, for all our sakes, I hope maplesyrup is GOOD..... :-)
Now I' ll write a christmasletter, have a cup of tea ( "Hüttenzauber") and watch men's second giant slalom, from Beaver Creek.
