When you talk about the weather, the conversation is over

Well, not really in the land of ice and snow. 11 degrees today, full blue sky and smiles on faces.

I vaguely recall hearing as I struggled through the mists of sleep that Switzerland used double the thousands of tons of salt this year. What this means and why I needed to know is another conversation. I think of this as I contemplate a vase of daffodils.

No, I don't ski, don't ask me, merci beaucoup!

I live in the land of snow and ice where people rush around to throw themselves down a mountain on two pieces of steel whilst dodging trees and boulders.

So, no I don't ski. Look at the teletubby outfits, that's enough to put you off!

Those I know who are rock climbers, skiers and general daredevils all have broken pieces of body giving them twinges.

I prefer to go under water rather than over it. Much safer all around.

So, I sit and contemplate the snow as I am in a tin can (the tram to the city) and nearly lose an eye from a ski pointed in the wrong direction and we are nowhere near a mountain. Trust me.

Perhaps the guy could ski along the side of the tram.

I Am Not a Pearl Girl

I overheard this on the tram and so wanted to ask her..but what are you then?
I love hearing other people's comments and could write a book on them.
Hear of some of my favourites with some idea of the visual:

1. Woman tottering on high heels down 42nd street on the phone ...0h, fabulous, oh fabulous...oh, fabulous..................oh fabulous! What was this - I needed to know!
2.Two men in a city, 'I told him this is not a democracy, you do not insult a police officer'.
3. Angry woman on a phone, 'I need to dump my anger'.
4. Up and coming young professional couple....(Man) darhhling, what do you think about this tie? (Woman) not a problem as you have to wear it. (Man) But you have to be seen with me. Will they get married, will they have children and will they actually be seen together with that tie??

Will add some more as I think about them....
