Sometimes stop, sometimes go.
(TrackBack)There is not a great deal to report, hence the lack of reporting.
The weather has turned and finally wet weather arrived, however, it brought a warm front with it and dumped a bit too much rain on the entire village wiping out what snow we did have. Temperatures managed to stay below zero at the peaks and there is a good 10-15cm powder. In December so far we have had ~25cm of snow. Last year (the worst on record for snow) they had 221cm. Beat that.
Anyway the above means there has been a continuation of the alcohol consumption, the tourists have swept into the village and made going out and finding a quiet bar pretty tough but we've been out a few times this week and had a good time.
King Kong is a legendary and worthy remake, Jackson has surpassed himself again, I could have sat and watched it again, which is justified praise I think.
Apparently there's 2 days until Christmas, I don't think I've ever been so apathetic about the holiday before, I figure the general lack of routine and familiarity of this time of the year has taken the spirit away. So I bought myself a $400 coat which I figure almost made up for it.
Anyway, Happy Holidays all. I'll be up in the snow on Christmas day which is a pretty awesome way to spend any day, nevermind one where you get socks given to you!
