I decided to simply leave it and try again tomorrow.

My car is a little... elderly... ^__^; So even if I get the door *open*, I won't get it *closed* again (the lock won't engange)... *gg* I've been cinching it closed from the inside with a tension belt so far, whenever I absolutely *had* to go somewhere. Once the car has warmed up, I can pull over for a moment, undo the belt and the door will close just fine...

*sigh*

That's what you get for living near the Alps... ^^

Weeelll... yes... it is. When the sun is shining. And the sky is a clear, burning blue. And the snow crystallizes and glitters and glints off everything like shards of clearest diamonds. And the air is clean and tastes of cold.

I haven't heard from her today (she no longer feels that it is necessary to keep me up to date daily... *sigh*), but for now she seems to be holding up quite well. It took her a few days to adjust, though. But she loves winter and snow, too, so it's not *too* bad. ^^

Not my village, but the next larger one, yes. ^^ Especially in the evening, when all the decorations are lit and the snow covers everything...

Hm... Maybe if I manage to get to one of the Xmas markets in the evening, I could take pictures... *ponders*

Oh yes! Please!

*tries to determine whether she has enough money for a plane ticket*

I *hate* the cold... >.

I can imagine! You probably have even more than we do...

Well, it's certainly winter enough for me! ^___^ Everything's covered with white and it's *very* cold. I was out taking pictures and feeding the birds this morning, and almost froze my fingers off...

As far as I'm concerned, it could stop *right now* and go back to summer. ^^
