It's been unusually sunny here today, very like the weather in the French Alps, good vis for skiing or flying. It's rather cold though; not the cold some of you guys get, but that horrible, damp, penetrating cold. Half expecting snow on the hills surrounding me, but nothing yet. I just hope that 2009 is better weather than this year; it's been miserable all year, apart from a total of about ten days, spread over the months!
