A morning well spent

Lucky you. I have a 2 hour appointment with my financial/insurance advisor this afternoon, and a meeting with my lawyer tomorrow :(

All to sort out the fallout from my accident in July.
How are we going to know if we are right?
gloves

In the deep winter I wear a thin pair of cross country gloves (Ruetsch) under my fairly standard snowboarding (Burton) gloves. Snug as a bug in a rug.
Ski resort for Non-Skiers
Started by User in France, 5 Replies
Austria rather than France, should imagine 7 days of the slope in France could be very expensive. Also a high percentage of resorts in Austria tend to be quite traditional and therefore more attractive. I am not saying there are not places like this in France. Personally if I had to spend a week in a resort away from the slopes (god forbid), I would chose Switzerland every time.
However the Monch (which should be right of the Eiger) should appear higher than in the photo and it's summit doesn't look quire right. As I say the angle would be unusual for an Eiger shot. Also the peak in the foreground is inconsistent. Hmmm, I don't know.
Thinking logically, it must be somewhere remarkable other wise it's a pointless question in a quiz. Its also a very high angle shot which makes it harder. But I think it's Grindelwald and that is the Eiger on the left.

I reckon by 2.30pm the number of people who had not had a drink would pale in comparison to those who have.
