Today is my first day off since december 18 2011. That only due to bad weather. One could also call it cosy weather. In this case :-) The wind is howling round the corners and the air is filled with snow. The week started with  sunny, clear icy days, though.  Minus 18° C on monday. Perfect for icelaternproduction :-) They lasted only until thursday, when it all of a sudden got warm and started to rain. Not enough for not skiing, though! But windy enough to to blow Emil off his mountain, so to say. The top ski area was closed, and the T-barlift closed down as well at lunch, when the skischools were ready. So we both ( and dog)( of course) went to Innsbruck to bring Julia and Niki home. We wanted, as well, to take a look at the olympic fire in Innsbruck, where the first youth winter olympic games are held at the moment. Is that someting the world outside Tirol knows about????? Anyhow we didn't see any fire, not even with my fine binoculars.
Today I allow my self to be lazy; took a warm bath and a nap after a horse/dog walk with Julia. The fourlegged ones need their walk even in nasty weather. And I cooked a chicken. Yummi!

Found some fotos yesterday, hidden in Nikis camera since Christmas:

I got a very nice hat. Found out that it's also practical as bag....

Niki got a hat as well. Far too big, though, so insted he uses it to bring out hay to his sheep.

Julia found skis under the tree - long fast ones!  Need to be tested in Ischgl soon :-)

Emil desperately on the search for a package with his name on it?!

Now I'll move on to the kitchen and produce some gravlaxsauce for tonight and some breakfastbiscuits for next week. Niki promised me a drink with ginger for tonight. Sounds interesting.
