Cocktails & tapas

Val’s surgeon was happy with her recovery when she saw him yesterday, and she shouldn’t need to see him again. That’s great news, so we celebrated with tapas at the Pickel followed by cocktails in the Tanne bar.

At the end of the ski season there’s an open air concert up at the top of the mountain, and it’s happening this weekend. On many occasions, the organisers have gone to all the trouble of building a stage and the hospitality facilities, only for the weather to be so bad that the event has to be cancelled. This morning it looked highly likely that this would be the case today, with a howling wind and horizontal sleet down here in the village. Luck, however, was on the side of the organisers and the ticket holders, as the weather calmed down and the sun came out just as the concert was due to start.
