It's Cold

What a cold March we are having, minus 19 on Mannlichen yesterday, and minus 8 this morning. With a tiny dusting of snow too. The piste conditions continue to be perfect. This does make my life easier as teaching on ice and slush, which is usual for March, is not a wonderful experience.

My apologies for lack of communication here. I met a couple of Irish friends the other day who mentioned that they missed the regular updates. It's been a sad time for me as my mum died quite unexpectedly at Christmas, luckily I was at home then. I just haven't felt like doing anything since. Just getting myself out of bed and to work has been enough effort in itself, fending off the anxiety and the wish to pull the covers over my head and forget everything, an overpowering desire.

I still have plenty such moments but gradually I feel I am coming back to life.
