Life is good and I'm relaxed. Let me tell you why:
Friday I went to my cabin wich is about 1 1/2 hours drive from here. I got there quite late, it was around 2100 and shit cold. It was around -16 centigrade outside, and naturally it was equally cold inside. I made a fire in my big-ass wood-oven but it was still cold as shit. It actually were cold enough for the frosty smoke from my exhaling hust hang there, and didnt go away. Actually, when i brushed the snow off my feet, this is what happened for the next 2 minutes:
Now thats COLD! In about half an hour time I got it up to 0, and in an additional hour it was up to 20 centigrades. I was supposed to get up early, so that was the time for bed. I didnt bring a sleeping bag as I have lots of sleeping garments up there.
This however was a huge mistake. There is no way you can heat the walls of a log-cabin in two-three hours, so after about 4-5 hours the temperature inside was back to -10 centigrade, and the gaments were not nearly good enough for this.. A few hours later i gave up and got up.. around 0700.
A couple hours laer i left the cabin.. The weather was great, and it was not as cold as the day before, now around -8 centigrade, and very livable. The sun was shining, the snow was dry and powdery. In general the scene was quite idyllic.
I got into the Volvo wich was allready packed for the trip further up the mouintains, to undertake the 25 miinute drive to Oppdal, the closes, and a very good ski-resort.
The trip went something like this
At Oppdal i met the others and hokked up with them.
Now we spent the next quite many housr skiing. I'm sorry I donot have pictures from this, but I refuse to bring a €8000 camera on a snowboard, since I'm not very good on it.. the snowboard that is
The time went by and eventually we had to leave. A bit too soon, caust the weather was still excellent, and the temperature now was a nice -3 centigrade or thereabouts. But the resort closed, so we didnt have much of a choice
The others went back to town and I went back to the cabin. I spent the next 30 hours alone there.. fiddling around, tidying things up a bit generally relaxing, cellphone off, no TV; only an old radio. Just a picture for the mood, a pic a made on the way back to the cabin:
I left there around 1900 sunday and went on for the 1 1/2 hour drive home. I called on for a pizza at the local Pizzeria to pick that up on the way home. A small no 9.. Best pizza ever.. cheese, peppered beef, mushrooms, onions and pineapple.. With extra pineapple.. gotta love that stuff.
On the wayI met the girl of my (current) dreams, who started an half-hour flirt with me as well.
Now I've just consumed the small Pizza while watching some relaxed, braind-dead movie at home...
Life is good at times!
so how was your weekend?
