From my window I can see glorious blue skies, lovely sunshine, temperature is around 20°. But I can also see 8 typical Mallorquin workmen digging up the pavement outside my office. 4 making noise with drills and the other 4 standing around chatting. Its highly entertaining and headache inducing.

BTW earlier this afternoon I could see whitecaps in the Wyre.
From my window to the left I can see the snow cover ski run on the mountain and to the right the fjord with the fishing boats fishing for the new season Torsk (cod)

The women's weightifting is just as fascinating. The commentator a year ago or so , at the Olympics, told us that he's beeen watching them practise. "I saw her snatch yesterday, and it was amazing! "
Serious Leeway - not a bit of it. Do you have any idea what the speed record is for an 'ice yacht'? It makes the water variety look like snails in comparison!
