Sastrugi as big as the Ritz

[nineveh_uk]

I am home from this year's skiing holiday, and naturally therefore I am off sick today with what is probably some sort of virus, which I suspect my immune system of fighting off quite well the previous 10 days and then letting its guard down when the critical moment had passed. Anyway, I had a brilliant holiday. There was plenty of snow, though quite a lot of it was whipping across the fellside in a vicious wind, bright sunshine that at least made the windchill manageable, and the bruises are halfway faded. One day my feet may forgive me.
