Writing a blog post with cold fingers

I'm sitting on a rock in the mountains, writing my first blog post outdoor and above timberline. I had to search a little bit to find a spot with cellphone signal.

It's such a nice day, in this bowl where you can just ski everywhere. Mountain men (like me) know of course that this beautiful landscape can turn into an inferno when fog and blizzards come in. But today it's just paradise, with blue sky and white snow. 

Its the white gold.

My hands are getting a little bit cold while typing, cold as heaven. Time to get my gloves and my skis on and get back to the offpiste slopes >:)

(Picture taken 10 minutes ago with my cellphone camera. The pictures get a little bit random because it's hard to see the display in the strong sun. But if I take a  lot of pictures, I always get some good ones.)

Summertime in Winterland

There's something about staying up late. I like that, but it sometimes makes me tired the next day.

Yesterday, I had a great day of skiing. It was nice and sunny. It was the kind of spring-winter when you can feel the sun is warming, even above timber  line in the mountains.

I spent last night reading and writing in the cabin, and then chatting with a good friend on Internet, while enjoying a cold beer.

I didn't stay up very late, just about an hour past midnight.  But this was the night we changed the clocks to summer time, and lost one hour. So today I'm a little bit tired.

Time to finish my coffee and get out on the slopes again. Then I will wake up, for sure.

A-Z Challenge: Theme reveal

 

It’s time to reveal the theme for the AZ-Challenge. I have picked a theme which is interesting, fascinating, fun, crazy, entertaining, and maybe even provocative.

My theme this year is religion.

I promise to treat all religions equally and fair. Christians, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, and Satanists;  I have no personal preferences.

But I will not draw Mohammad. It’s too dangerous. I don’t want a bunch of angry men with big black beards running after me for the rest of my life. Nobody knows what Mohammad really looked like (obviously, since it’s strictly forbidden to draw or picture him).  Therefore, just drawing a man with a beard can be risky, unless it’s totally clear and beyond doubt that it’s Santa Claus.

So, I will write about religion, but I will only draw Santa Claus >:)

(That’s my drawing of Santa Claus. I'm very bad at drawing hands, so I always draw people with the hands in the pocket. Sorry about that.)

Money

Today I tried to go shopping without money. It didn't work very well.

I tried prayer.  It failed, as usual.

Then I went home to get my wallet. It solved the problem.

Money rules >:)
