A Beautiful, yet long, Day

It was a beautiful day in the mountains yesterday, after a lot of snow on Christmas and Boxing Day, so I took the opportunity to have my one and only ski of the season.

 As it's been FOREVER/3 years since the last time I properly skied, my legs were not really in the best of conditions. So, we had a relaxed day and stopped for a yummy Chocolat Viennoise (hot chocolate with cream on top). Mmmmm.

After our relaxed, but slightly painful, morning ski we headed back to the Chalet for a little rest before skiing the our new favourite restaurant for a late lunch.

 It was then a very short ski home, and a quick pack up to head back to Geneva. We are now in a lot of pain...

Merry Christmas

Hope you all have/have had a fantastic day with your families and friends!

A very long walk

Yesterday was sunny, and the lovely little restaurant at the top of the mountain was open...so we planned on having lunch there. The walk up is supposed to take 40 minutes, but due to my need to stop and take photos and the fact that I developed some pretty bad blisters on the way we took a little bit longer. About 20 minutes longer. Lunch was well worth it though. So yummy.

On our way back we chose to walk down the closed piste, because that route was shorter, and we got back very quickly. Today though, my calves are killing me...I really haven't done a proper walk in a long time!

Mountains

It finally snowed. And by finally, I mean half way up to the mountains. I was so happy to see snow again. It's been something like 3 years since I last properly saw snow! Crazy business! All the snowing meant the walk up to our Chalet was a little more difficult, and the view wasn't quite as amazing, but SNOW! We have snow! Beautiful, white, fluffy snow! Snowball, the dog we are dogsitting, literally turned into a snowball on the walk up...he could barely move he was covered in so much snow. I had to go rescue and carry the poor thing!

SNOW!!! Eeee!

Frosty Fog

The last couple of days have been frizzy frozzy freezing. A cold frosty fog has descended on Geneva, which has made everything very pretty but also very cold. Brrrrr.

Geneva - Home sweet Home

We are in Geneva. Home sweet home. Well one of my homes, this has been home for most of my life. The Christmas tree was kept undecorated for me, so I got to spend the morning listening to Christmas music and decorate the tree. My favourite thing to do. :) I've also been doing some touristy photo taking around Geneva for the kids at work. Hoping for some snow, so I can get some photos of that...but it's not looking likely.

It's nice to be home.

Best Song in the World

Back in 2002 Tenacious D sang about how they had encountered a demon, and to save their souls sang the first thing that came to their mind, which was the best song in the world. They since forgot the song, and made a tribute, which sounds nothing like the best song in the world.

11 years later One Direction seem to have got hold of the best song in the world, as they sing about dancing to the best song ever. They too forgot how the song went.

What is this song? I want to hear it. Are they talking about the same song? Everyone seems to forget what the song is after listening to it...does it really exist? I need answers!
