Midwinter cold

The temperature was minus 5 when I got up this morning, and it was still snowing. It would be nice to spend the day indoors again, but my shopping list is getting longer and longer, and we have no bread for lunch. I cleared the snow from our steps and headed up to the village.

Normally Wengen would be pretty busy on a Sunday, but there were very few people around and only a small minority seemed to want to go skiing. Fortunately, the trains are running again, so at least the few intrepid skiers can keep warm on their way up. Aminaa is leaving in a few days, so tonight we’re going for a curry.

Snow

Val’s physio appointment was at 5 in the afternoon yesterday, so we decided to stay in the village afterwards and have a bit of a night out. Colin provided the entertainment.

We had a pretty good turnout, lots of people came and went throughout the evening.

Dinner was a takeaway from Santos. While we were enjoying ourselves, the weather outside was changing. Snow began to fall, and by this morning there was quite an accumulation. Needless to say we have to go up to the village for a doctors appointment. Fortunately Vroni’s taxi is virtually unstoppable, so we got there without a problem.

With the snow forecast to continue over the weekend, I got as much shopping as I could carry before we headed home.
