Homecoming..

Oh the contrasts! 
(to a few days ago in Egypt!)
 Unbelievable amounts of snow have fallen upon our island in the Baltic! 
This picture was taken just when I returned home. Since then, at least three decimeters have fallen in combination with strong winds and the situation in all if southern Sweden has been labelled  "almost a minor disaster" Tuesday night! News casts report of a "high alert" situation with numbers of traffic accidents and of hundreds of cars deserted along the road side in southern Sweden. Trains and air traffic are chancelled .Warnings are issued for possible power failures. Roofs have been collapsing under the pressure of heavy snow. This has been the worst winter in Sweden since 1987.
My snow shoveler broke down yesterday after a full day of back breaking work to get access to the house! The police advices people to stay home if possible.Yes - it is possible:
Thanks god, I have a deep freezer with at least some food. Maybe this is the perfect chance to prepare for summer and its demanding bikinis..
Wishful thinking...
One has to take a positive approach. "Life on the Bright Side according to Brian"
..with a combination of diet/showelling/cross country skiing exercises..
