My dad: Retired. Creative. Cool. Daddy cool. Loves winter, snow & skiing as long as I can think. Keeps healthy & fit. Sometimes a little bored and that’s when he gets the best ideas. Like a week ago while it was snowing: building equipment in his garage, fix it on his tractor to pull cross-country skiing trails. Start/end: house door. Round way. 10km (+ extra loops if your fitness allows). He goes skiing with his buddy every other day (both 70!). He’s fit and calls it a „relaxing loop“ when I am joining in. Lol.
It’s amazing! So much snow (I don’t remember ever so much snow in my home town). The city turned into a beautiful winter wonderland. Blue sky & sunshine included. Amazing!
Starting cross-country skiing directly from the house… that is something new. And cool.
So cool, that the local newspaper reported about it!
The best idea I had this winter so far: pack up and travel towards the winter wonderland (hello mobile working!). I spent a couple of days there. Lucky me. Perfect days. Getting up early. Breakfast served (spoiling alert daddy). Blue sky. The sun is smiling. Me too. On the slopes. Cross-country skiing. Meeting family. Aunt joining in skiing. Covid is far away at least for some hours. Nature. Fantastic conditions. Feeling alive! Back home. Tired. Hungry. Hot shower. Jogging pants. Delicious dinner. Evening on the sofa. Falling asleep. Dreaming. And repeat. 3x. Fantastic!
I had a wonderful holiday… ehm, I mean a wonderful weekend (which felt like a winter holiday).
So much fun! Even (kind of) enjoyed falling while making a selfie. Daddy, Daddy cool!
People ask how cold is it? Nose hair freezing and teeth hurting while breathing – that kind of cold (nights -18C degrees).
Now back home. Lungs filled with wonderful fresh air. Minds filled with awesome memories and picturesque scenes. Body a little tired & aching (but that’s ok).
The forecast for the next days: plus degrees… skis packed away for now (summer sleep). Hello, spring! Getting the motorbikes ready…
