No Snow!!

If u are wondering how the 1st snow day of the season went last saturday – it went ok – i think Tobias had fun .  But the snow was not really nice – it was cruchy snow – not good to make snowballs at all – i was trying to teach Tobias how to make one but the snow didn’t stick together. & Walter said even high up where he went snowboarding wasn’t nice either. So we have cancelled plans for this coming sat, considering that the snow on our little mountain has melted away already within 1x week!! i have been told that this is likely the warmest winter in 400 years!

Oh, a friend (u know who u are) asked that there should be more photos of mummy – she asked this knowing full well that i dislike photos of myself – sigh! so here’s one for u, my dear friend:

Mummy & Tobias lying in the snow.

Oh, talking about no snow (in case anyone is interested, there is snow, just not enough to stay at lower levels & not enough to make nice skiing or snowboarding unless u go above 2000m or higher even) – thot there is no snow on the mountains – a mountain resort here put something else on their mountain face – check it out. i’m not sure i agree with the whole arguement about light pollution but i can see where they are coming from & i completely agree that it will affect the animal life there. So what do u think?

Bloggers for a year!!!

Tomorrow marks 1 YEAR since we started this blog – Happy 1-year to us!

i’m celebrating tonight cos i won’t get to blog tomorrow – we are off for our 1st snow day of the season. There has been snow on top of our little mountain for most of the week now – so we think it’s safe to go & enjoy the snow now. Besides, i think my darling hubby would not be able to wait any longer – hehhehe 😉

As part of my celebrations, i would like to share a wonderful blog which i stumbled upon a few weeks ago & have been faithfully following since. It’s called Stay-at-Home Motherdom. i have been most encouraged by what this lovely mom has shared – she has shared herself to the world of blogging & has encouraged many, including myself. So check it out.

Well, have to go pick hubby up from train station soon.  He comes home tonight & tomorrow we hit the slopes!

Happy New Year to all

It’s 2007 – Happy Happy & Fruitful & Joyous & Fulfilling New Year to everyone!!
i was intending on writing a long reflective email about the new year, expectations, hopes etc… but now i’m not in the mood – in part cos my back hurts – my backaches are back (i had them from Uni days) – haven’t had them this bad since before Tobias was born. In part cos my hubby has left to sleep the night at the Basel Train Station so he can catch the really early 7am flight to Hamburg for work tomorrow – sigh! i worry if he’ll be safe & if he can get a good night’s rest – i pray so.
So that’s it for now – maybe i’ll write that reflective stuff over the next couple of days.
