Snowed in

We are stuck in town.

The snow has been falling all night, all morning and shows no sign of letting up.

We don't have winter tires, and with a hill to navigate to get up on the dyke...

Mmmm.

The southern part of the country is huddled in snow, mist and traffic jams.

The husband built snowmen with the boys, their darkened paths quickly covered under a fresh layer of white again.

I stayed inside where it is warm and dry, listening to Hildegard Knef.

My muscles have turned to fired sinews.

The more my muscles hurt, the more they tense up.

I'm bad company today.
