Oh what a beautiful morning!

The weather here this morning is 'a dream'. It's amazing how this crisp, fresh mountain air and morning sunlight can really give you a 'lift' if you're feeling a bit down in the dumps. Not that I am 'down in the dumps' mind you. No way Jose!
The two photos here (one on this 'bit' and the other one following) are what I saw this morning. This one (snow and all, that's still here) is looking NE across the valley and the next is looking E up the valley towards Sondrio.

I was woken up this morning by the neighbour's cockerels who were crowing their heads off 'fit to bust'.... I went to the window, threw open the shutters, took a deep breath of this (-4°c) mountain air - and nearly fell over from the shock - hahaha! I'm only kidding - but I do like the cool air, and always sleep with the shutters (called persiane) closed, but the french window 'just open'. The heating is never on in my bedroom so it gets 'pretty fresh'! But that's how I like it. I sleep well, breathe easy and feel really rested when I wake....

The 'mutt' has got over his upset tummy - That'll teach him that padded seat covers are not a suitable supplement to a dog's diet! I reckon that having chewed the corner, he found that pulling the foam padding to bits was really good fun, and he must have swallowed some - serve him right the little sxd! Mind you, he won't be doing THAT again you can be assured!!!! But he creases me up when he's been naughty... he dashes into the kitchen, climbs up on a chair which is under the table - and because he can't see me he 'assumes' I can't see him'! He's just like a naughty two year old - but he's learning. I've made it clear to him - "Any old buck from you, mate and it's back to the Dog Pound" - Yeah, right - AS IF!!!!
