A few cold pics
Just a couple of pics from here up north. Splendid days, but very cold. Yesterday it was close to -15 even during the day. Looks to last another 10 days or more.

The sun got the little "rascals" going though out on the ice.

Ice is now around 40cm thick, so starting to hold semi-trucks.

Cute little rascals... They're ready, too!! Beautiful buildings in background.

Mallorca so gorgeous. How nice for her.
Anyway, we'll keep you company while she is gone...

Of course, hospitality at its best!

Now, you have more time to polish up on your scooters, and research for more motor homes...

No, I just hate running in long trousers or tights. I have shorts with two layers (one tight and the outer one loose like a regular short, from the North face). My knees were not happy though.

And if it gets too cold I'll be paying Mon to drive by my side and frequently give me some bloody mary to keep me warm

With Mon at the wheel, nothing could possibly go wrong

Yes, most of them wooden buildings. Picture of our old town. Houses date as old as 18-century.

This is the same look the Swedish curling team had when they lost gold to the US.
