Today's the day ..................... for each to his own

If this was the first thing you saw when you looked out the window this morning, would you think - "Let's climb to the top of that snow covered mountain, where there will be ice everywhere and lots of steep slopes to navigate"? No - me neither .......... but that's where Will and Rob have gone today.

To me, it looked like a day to take your time doing everything - cooked breakfast, read that book, do the crossword. The most energetic thing I have done is to put my new crampons (the kind with the little metal studs) on to my boots - and then go for a walk along the lochside. Oh - and I did have a swim in the pool.

Each to his own, I say ....................
