boy, time flies when you're doing not a lot.
tomorrow the resin cast comes off my arm! it wasn't all that hard- well at least not for me: i imagine pascal has something else to say on the matter. needless to say he now faces semi-retirement from the world of dishes-washing for at least a few weeks!!

it's snowing out. the town has returned to its rather picturesque alpine village scenery. new people have arrived and so the busy part of the season starts.... february is rumoured to be more silly here than christmas. people come, people go, people spend lots of money. it's a very strange environment.

it's snowed a lot over the last 24 hours, i've watched mini-avalanches from the warmth of our apartment. it creates a lot of work for everyone, the snow: avalanche prevention on the high slopes (as in, they do controlled explosions to cause avalanches and to clear the slopes from any dangerous snow) snow clearing off the roads, footpaths and carparks.... craziness.
i spend very little time outdoors- even the bright sunny days only manage to warm to just above zero. i wonder how all the wild animals cope- where do they go?
bring on the spring i say!!!
