At last I finally get to go skiing after 6 years of failed attempts!
It seemed I was either in OZ, in Serbia, in Croatia or in Ireland at the times it suited my "biorhythms" to go!!!
 |
| Knew this would grab your attention!!! Ginger ale in a glass, but I only saw the skull part just now...hahaha... |
 |
| Next stop Prague after Feb...So had better get my contacts warned I'm coming... |
 |
| Then, whilst down in Bavaria after May, will go and find out how to get a pic like this. I have been there 3 times so far and got my dream pic on the 2ndvisit, but this was the one I originally wanted to capture myself. The pink fronted pic...I think this must be taken with a very looong lens or from a helicopter? |
I can't believe I was so dumb on that issue.
If there was one big lesson I gained from my entire life thus far, it would be this...
"Set your goals
Plan a time range and action plan to achieve them
Work towards them
If things don't go according to plan, don't ditch the goal, adjust the timeline
Do not change the goal...
BUT
Remember, you can change the time frame !
Feb was always the time I'd planned to go skiing, I have no idea why, just Feb sticks in my mind.
This year was no different...but I'll be busy in Feb.
So... faced with the option of not skiing again this year, it suddenly hit me... I could go in January!
So dumb, I can not believe I'd locked myself into that way of thinking for so long, without thinking to adjust the dates...sighhh
So, a friend and I are headed for the ski fields in Slovakia, which is only 3 hrs from here.
Have my hot pink ski suit here with me...have to try it on to see if it still fits...then hey-ho, it's off to ski we go!
Will take heaps of pics up there, so keep an eye open for my blog near end Jan.
Imre is here now fixing the remaining power points and light fittings in 3 rooms. I bought the new cables a few weeks ago, but it was all wrong...can you believe they gave me some weird cable no one uses here for house fit outs???
Imre has been trying to use it, but it is really fat and he has to trim it down a bit so it fits in the plugs.
He is now replacing new double power points in my room as I bought 3 doubles at Tesco, but they are so weak that I want to replace them. They do not hold into the wall when you pull out the plug from your appliances, the power point comes out with it too!!!
I have some nice strong new ones here and he has an hour spare, so it's my turn to get new plugs in my room to replace the new plugs he put in just a year ago!
It had been beautiful weather here for winter for the past 2 months basically, and I knew the moment I commented that, a deep freeze would set in...and it did!
It snowed 2 evenings ago...delicious...then it got freezing cold and now the roadside puddles are really deep frozen!
Jogging in the mornings is amazing...I only go about 4 times a week at the moment now, as I am a bit lazy at times, but try and get out at least 4 times a week. I do feel a lot better for the entire day when I go each day, but 4 times a week is fine for now.
 |
| YeeHawww!!! |
 |
| Oh dear...snowed in...no jog this morning!!! Can't open any of the gates...all frozen shut. Could boil the jug and melt all the snow...but making coffee with it sounds much better! |
 |
| What a lovely view over Breakfast, Lunch, Afternoon tea, ... |
 |
| The other day, we had to try and fix the water leaking from a busted drain pipe...So, had to dig up the entire pipe to find the leaky join... |
 |
| Getting the attic door area and walls done outside, plus the attic door sanded both sides too...ready for painting. |
 |
| As seen in the full sun... |
 |
| Getting the old power point taken out and new ones put in, in the kitchen/dining room. |
OK everyone, must go now and do some work...well,do some washing anyways!
See you all next week with more fun news.
'Bye for now,
M

Say ;bye-'bye to Pedro, the dear little doggie...

| Dear little thing he is...Wild as a jumping jack, but a nice little fellow really. He loves the snow too. |
