this was the view from our hotel room tonight at about 1700 as the sun set.

Half an hour earlier we were skidding round this lake for the audi ice track test drive.

Here's an extract from the photo set that is my new house. We're moving on 29th February and we just can't wait. Chefck out the rest on flickr....

Roll on the move and Tom and Steve coming out to stay. The iron gamer 2008 is on......well kind of, as we will of course be missing the founding father, Simon :-)

That apart I still feel that I ought to give up the cup if I lose, and by god I know that Karen really wants Tom to display it in their house ;-)

A single day of snow

Heather came over for the weekend, and despite all the best predictions of the weather service, it snowed on saturday night (it's been so damn warm this year - annoyingly) so we rushed out on sunday and did some sledging. Fortunately to satisfy my snow urges we're driving to Åre tomorrow for a weeks "proper" skiing, although its still set to be warm (well about 0 degrees which is warm for this bloody time of year). That apart the snow report is good, there's 80cm on the slopes, so all should be good.

We're taking our new camera (the old ixus 4 finally gave up the ghost) so we'll try to upload some stuff as we go. Since Sarah's already quite big, she can't really ski, so we'll have the laptop with us for extra entertainment.
