We always feel so nostalgic for skiing and the Alps at this time of year but I'm not sure the knees are up to it anymore so your pictures are a good substitute.

He did a wonderful job and they are already talking about a Légion d'Honneur. They have also said there are three injured in hospital but that none are life-threatening. A few years ago a similar accident happened in Spain next to a camp site and many people were carbonised so it puts his bravery into context. As for me falling, even I thought I looked funny, desperately trying to hang onto my car as my legs were going 100 miles an hour. Time to get the yack trax out I think!Treadershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613671137557939083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4674486998769998428.post-28315130534809431102023-01-20T23:13:51.054+00:002023-01-20T23:13:51.054+00:00I remember mentioning to my doctor years ago that ...I remember mentioning to my doctor years ago that did she think it might be possible for me to have Alzheimer's since my dad had it and she reassured me that stress and, in my case in particular, lack of sleep, were usually the culprits. I'm sure it's that but if getting the test can reassure Patricia then the sooner she gets it the better. I'm not sure what the solution to her problems might be though, although she was thinking of asking to go part-time for a while, and I'm guessing that would help tremendously!Treadershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613671137557939083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4674486998769998428.post-83091706180792004852023-01-20T23:12:15.529+00:002023-01-20T23:12:15.529+00:00Oh I love those pics from here!

Maybe you and your neighbor could figure out a system (although it would be much easier to send a "proof of life" text every night).
