Winter is here, and this picture - which I took from the homepage of Lech am Arlberg, a local ski resort - shows what it means to me: mountains, sunshine, snow, skiing. When I look out of my window, I can see mountains like this glimmer in the sun, and I feel like going and enjoying nature's beauty.
I had breakfast with Angelika - she is really a lovely girl. She says she grew up with her mother, who was never married to Phillip, but lately she was spending more time with him than with her. She also wants to be a journalist like her father, but has not got a regular job yet - she writes for several smaller papers and is paid by the text. It seems that she has inherited her father's sharp wit and his charm, and from what I see, her mother must have been very beautiful.
She is good company and does not behave like in a hotel - she is doing the washing up right now - so I have told her she can stay as long as she likes. Why not - the house is way too big for a single person anyway.
