"A clean house is a sign of a broken computer!" or a broken internet connection in my case! got back from a great ski vacation (lots of snow and sunshine in the French Alps, no broken bones) to find out we didn't have access to internet at all. So I spent a whole day doing laundry and cleaning the house, wondering what the blogosphere was doing, care to come over for some coffee before dust takes over again?

Due to a - much needed - little rain we had no electricity a while ago. Then: oh, miracles do happen! looked at my router and there it was, happily displaying all little green lights showing an internet connection. I dropped everything and here I am, trying to post as long as it is possible and then off to visit, how lucky can I get today!!

Here's a picture of Santa's family skiing, yes: I saw them enjoying a well deserved ski holiday right after Christmas...! One year I stood right in front of Mike Rutherford (Genesis) getting out of a ski lift, this time it was Santa!

  2. Youpie, that's nice that you are back and had such nice weather, snow and sunshine. This year I heard it was very good everywhere in the ski stations. (Remember last year that was awful !) I finally had a very nice Christmas in Amsterdam (but all that is on my blog) although the city is very depressing at Christmas ! No decoration at all or very poor !
    I wonder what happens with your internet connection which comes and goes it must be bewitched. Was that really the guy from Genesis ? Great !

  4. Hi Mar,

    I'm so glad you had a great ski vacation. I love the shot of Santa and his family. Very cool. I'm glad your internet connection returned. I've missed you. Wishing you a very happy new year.

    Ha ha! I love it. Our computer sort of broke down over Christma but luckily we have two more backups, otherwise my house would have been sparkling! :-)

    Happy New Year to all of you and all the best for 2008.

  6. Welcome HOOOOOOME Mar! You have been missed! I have been too busy to blog much myself -- but I miss you when I'm away as well as when you are away! I would give almost ANYTHING to be off breaking a bone skiing in the Alps right now! LOL! But... I'll settle for coffee at your CLEAN house! MINE is a disaster! With no hope in the forseeable future! (how DO you spell forseeable???)

  7. Love the pic Mar, LOL! Very glad to see you back on line and to hear that you had a great holiday. Hope you have some more photos to share with us?

    If you get the chance, do watch 'The Green Mile'. It is a wonderful film, but it should come with a box of tissues. I like Love Actually too :)

  12. Hey, Mar :-))

    [pours cup of coffee]

    Sounds like you had a lovely holiday - did you manage to get Santa alone for five minutes to tell him how good you've been ready for next year!

    Happy New Year, my dear friend.
