This blog is for the appreciation of Aksel Lund Svindal, Norwegian Alpine Skier. Also for those who want to go off topic from Aksels' blog. www.aksellundsvindal.com
on pic nr 16 you see kjetil skiing trough the crowed to get to the lift after the inspection! and on nr 3 there is aksel in the crowed he stop from time to time to gives signs and to make some pics with the fans!
thanks for the posting the pics, the most of them from the inspection! and i really have to say that aksel made a quick inspection but kjetil was a bit more faster then him!
the second last pic is kjetiel and on pic nr 19 is aksel, sorry that i cut the heads of but they was to quick for me!
@corinna I saw the nice pics from the link you kindly posted, corinna. You're outstanding !
btw, ist das ein Stau der Autos ? oder Verkehrsunfall ?
@Nicoletta Thanks for the magical link, Nicolettchen ! It's so fantastic, and I think it is what we call " a fairy tale ". However the temperature seems very low. I didn't know the lake in Zurich can be frozen. Is it about once in 50 years ? And do you think this winter 2011/2012 belongs to the warm one in Europe ? In Japan, we have the very cold winter now. There are many snow in the mountain areas in Japan. But it's OK, bc they are used to it. Nicolettchen, you're right. People living only in Tokyo like me are bad at walking in the street after the snowfall. Normally the snowfall of some cm in Tokyo is once in 5 years and for only one night. So we forget how to do it easily. But I think it's better to have some equipment to walk safely on the ice or iced snow. Maybe a pair of boot with a sole against slip.
You are right Ekaterina, the lake of Zurich gets only frozen with constant low temperatures, the up and down we have for many years now doesn't make it possible. Until now it is rather warm for Winter and not much snow.
Having snow fall in Tokio only once in 5 years makes it rather complicated. LOL The positive side is, you havn't to invest so much into a new pair of boots, they last forever! LOL
@All
Hans Olsson posted awesome pictures from GA/PA. Enjoy!
@ekaterina i was standing there bc of to much traffic, it is always in the morning (but in the morning i don´t have to wait there) but in the midday, there is also so much traffic, that you can´t turn and that you have to wait and wait and wait!
@corinna Ist das eine Autobahn oder Bundesstrasse ?
In the suburb of Tokio, there are several Bahnubergang which would not open for more than 30 minuten. When the Bahnubergang was built, it was OK, bc the train traffic was less than the present. But more and more people comes to Tokio to work, and the train traffic had to increase.
It is not unusual for people who does not live in Tokio, to spend more than 90 minuten ( one way ! ) ) in the train to go to the office in Tokio every day.
Actually there are viele Anstellungen in Tokio. As the result, the train traffic becomes busier and busier, and Bahnubergang would not open soon. So the railway company is trying to move the railway from the ground to the Hochbahn.
@ekaterina es ist eine landstraße! and from that way i came you can only drive right (most time without problems) or left (the way i have to go and where i alway have to wait) bc the cars came from the right and from the left and i have to wait to be able to drive left, till i came out! and when there is much business traffic, bc of lunchbreak and so on there a lot of cars and i have to wait!
@Nicoletta Again, Cuche ! Congrats to Switzerland, Nicolettchen ! Though I don't know how Aksel ran today, bc his TR was not bad.
@corinna I'm thinking about buying the same type of the camera. People say the camera with the film makes the better print and I think so, too. But the light weight camera is practical, so we need both anyway.
@All ladies ! Es is jetzt sehr kalt in Tokio. But it's much much better than cruel summer in Tokio.
@dana Are you back from B, dear dana ? Is everything with you about the health matter OK ? I'm a bit busy with the paper works concerning the surgery & hospitalization, and also busy with the preparation for my stay in TWMU. Anyhow, all are the first experience for me. The connection with the big medical institution like TWMU, the surgeries, hospitalization, and absence at home except vacation, and so on. But I'm well and fine now, and I hope youare, too, dana !
Wish you good luck for your first surgery and a hope everything will be fine for you, dear Ekaterina! Will think of you on Monday, and I am glad to hear from you soon!
All the best, Ekaterina! Hugs & Kisses!
Thank you for your nice words for Didier Cuche! I quite like his Farewell Tour! He seems still being in a very good raceing mood. LOL
@nicoletta have you felt one of the earthquakes btw last tuesday and friday? which were in southtyrol and northitaly? also that light one on 20.01. near innsbruck, this was a 2,1!
that ones from northitaly southtyrol was btw
on 27.01. was it a 5,4 http://www.blick.ch/news/erdbeben-in-norditalien-id1741693.html
well i didn´t felt anything! and i also know that this is normal for this region! bc in northitaly, middleitaly and southtyrol are often ligth earthquakes btw 0.5 and 3.0 and also 5.0-6.0 earthquakes can happen and be normal for this region!
but some ppl already went crazy bc of the mayancalender! bc we had also an suneruption
the last one which was so heavy was 2003 (so also something normal, this happens every 9 to 11 years and for 2013 they say the biggest one, but this biggest one will be not so big like the last one 2002/2003!
Thank you for your great report about earthquakes, Corinna. To be honest I didn't feel something and I did not really read about it. Strange isn't it?
The thing with the Sonnensturm is quite interesting. Here I saw spectactular pictures about the Northern lights caused by the Sonnensturm, they must be unique this year. On TV they showed some absolutely great videos and said they can also be seen in Northern Germany.
Anne-May will have good times in Tromsö at the moment!
Hope Aksel has today a better day, but it is real difficult to overcome a bad phases and if you are so much irregular with your achievements it must be a real roller coaster for your mind and also your ego.
As I mentionned before, in my opinion Aksel and also Kjetil need more mental support. I have the feeling they sit alone and nobody bothers really. I also have never heard one word about Harvard, is he still the trainer of our Vikings?
It is a bit harsh, but in football if the players suck several times, they kick out the trainer! Isn't it so?
But I must say a seperate mental trainer who has the gift and the education to support the ski racers is the greatest need. In my personal opinion here is the problem.
Second Didier Cuche has kind of master in preparing skis, but it is not only that, he has obviously the talent to inscribe the slope and his personal route deeply in his mind. And he seems to be extremely strong in handling his mental strenght. There he seem to be unique! Maybe he did not get this strenght from one day to the other, it is wellknown his real career started with 30 years.
Good luck to all racers, especially Aksel needs today a good day! Unfortunately the weather is not a big help.
I'm afraid I gave you the wrong info. It's next Sunday I check in TWMU and the first surgery is in February 6th on Monday. I think I want to let you know in February 8th on Wednesday when I'm about to leave TWMU and be back at home. I feel a bit restless, bc lots of the first experience wait for me, so it takes longer time for me to get ready. My dad helps me with the private medical insurance. I'm not good at such paper works.
@nicoletta about this mental training! this is something great! but the athletes can decided by them self if they want that or not! bc not everyone like that!
the only thing the trainers can do, is to say them, that they would prefer a mental trainer, but when the athelets that don´t want then not!
some of the skiers has already mental trainer, but not all! and i be sure when aksel or some one of the rest wants a mental trainer then they would do this!
havard is still coach of the team! i saw him last sunday in kitzbühel!
skiing is a "einzelsportart" so the most came out of the ahtlete him self! when he/she doesn´t want to train he/she can´t blame the trainer, ok they can blame that service men, but only when he/she did something wrong with the skies! but for the mental/healt/body conditon to be in topform the athlete is "selbstverantwortlich"!
and to be honest ( i don´t want now to say that he didn´t desevered some holiday) aksel made a lot of holliday/vacation last summer with julia, except of training with the rest of the team! he went on vacation with julia till the rest of his team was in training camp! and that "pipifax" training he made with julia on hawaii, well, that bit training you can´t compare with that training his team made, in the gym and on the mountains! they was on a glacier to test skis and to train during he was in hawaii on the surfboard and in a tropical gym! and i be sure that he didn´t train so much like his team mates! i know this is sad, but he has to think about what he want and what he want to do! a whole summer with vacation or be back on the podium!
kjetil is going to be better and better, but he train a lot and he goes on vacation when the whole team goes on vacation! and he earned good places out of this training!
(i know that everyone has earned some vacation, also aksel, but he was injected to much by the lifestyle of julia, with party all night long and not to much training)
and to be honest i be sure that aksel would be better, when he would train more during the summer, with dryland training and like the rest of the team going on glaciers to train on snow! but he prefer more the "lockeren lifestyle" on maui with windsurfing and the sun!
Please don't forget to make me join in the earthquake talks, dear corinna & dear Nicoletta ! ... ;-)))
But I didn't know about the recent earthquakes in Europe until corinna informed us. Thanks corinna ! After March 11th, 2011, we've had 4 - 5 times more earthquakes than usual everyday. http://tenki.jp/earthquake/ The very recent shakes happen around Mt.Fuji. Mt.Fuji is the famous mountain, but it is also fearful mountain.
And people here says the influence by the sun-eruption reaches the earth in various ways, though it is not well confirmed. In fact we had some M5's class earthquakes yesterday and it may be a drop of the sun-eruption influence.
I think the top athlete is made from the outstanding power of concentration. I also think it is a kind of the technique, and Cuche is equipped with this. The ski race is so quick and the snow condition changes every minutes, so the top ski racer needs it. Some gains it by the image training and some does it by another ways.
Though it may be wrong, from my point of view, Aksel was too busy during last summer mainly with the sponsor obligation and with Julia. He had better find the new management of the schedule.
@corinna Thanks for the links, corinna. I didn't know these. I only knew about Etna. So..... this year 2012 is the final year of the Maya-calendar. Of course it means we'll have the brand new era in 2013. But it seems the earth becomes very active. We cannot control inside the earth. I think it's the good opportunity for us to think about the earth & nature and cherish it more than ever. To our regret, there are some people who labor under a delusion which says the human being can dominate the world. It's an absolute misunderstanding. The fact is that we are dominated by the earth which is influenced by, for example, the sun and other condition.
@ekaterina well this all activitys i wrote her, are totally normal!
the etna, has nearly every year some activitys! also on el hierrro or la palma http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanarische_Inseln#Vulkanismus_und_Erosion
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canary_Islands
the canary islands are vulcan islands, and from time to time active
the earthquakes in northitaly/southtyrol, are normal too, bc there the eurpean plate and the african plate meet each other and the african is more active
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plate_tectonics
so every thing is normal - the only thing that has changed is the media, bc in 1900 or 1920 when something like that had happened it needs more time till everyone knows it! and now in the time of internet and that whole stuff, there are the news real quick around the world, and that has the effect that everyone means, that this natural disasters getting more and more! but they didn´t get more and more (ok we have some years, where more often happen something but then we have also some years, when less happen)
and @ekaterina you be right we can´t controll the earth!
I agree with you, you seem to be a bit nerveous because all the new things you will have to experience. Believe me I feel deeply with you, I would react the same way!
Glad you can enjoy one more week "Gnadenfrist"!
Regarding earthquakes, we ment you in the hospital and would never ever exclude our earthquake expert!! LOL
You are perfectly right, the earth is dominating us and not vice versa! It was always like that, and it will always be! Only some human beeing think otherwise.
I followed with great interest your thoughts about Aksel's training, vacation and schedule in general, as well as the mental training.
All your inputs are to consider, and I tend to agree with all your points. Obviously Aksel needs urgently to think over all these subjects! Eventually several things have to be changed.
On the otherhand, I do not know how much they trained in Hawai and Julia seems to have taken good profit from that. She is constantly in the top ten or better, and has reached several podiums this season. Certainly the "Pipifax" training LOL!! cannot be compared with dryland training with the team.
The change to the Head skis makes still troubles, if weather and slope conditions change every day, setup and everything seems to make problems too.
I think the longer vacation is also an image problem for Aksel. Everybody is a bit suspicious about the aim Aksel really has. I am afraid Julia does not improve so much Aksel's image, despite of that Julia seems to be a clever lady, witty businesswoman, and also a great skier.
Perhaps Aksel should do much more things alone for example with his freeride friends, etc. There I see the right Aksel, there he is really authentic for me!
Doing more quality training with his team members is also definitely clear and urgent. It seems Aksel and Kjetil are again a bit closer, and this is also urgently needed.
Eventually Aksel should look more for his personal needs, doing perhaps more, and for a longer period with his brother, eventually father or visiting grandpa, simply said beeing with his family. Staying in Oslo and Norway in general could also be real good for the Norwegian Aksel and can never be replaced by a 100 days in Hawai in my opinion.
This eventually could also be good for his mental strength. Retourning to himself, following his personal needs, not showbiz not commercial things, not sponsors and not a very demanding girlfriend. Sorry!
Like Ekaterina mentionned, he has certainly to many subjetct to fullfill at the same time and to overthink his schedule in the future.
Hope very much Aksel can sort out his life very soon, and concentrate on the main purposes he really needs for himself, and I bet so he will also be a better ski racer again.
Everybody needs time to reload his batteries, quality time for himself, and also enough time to think over his life, new plans and projects, etc.
Please enjoy one of my favorite videos with Aksel which Dana kindly posted on FB:
@nicoletta on some points i agree with you! she profites more from this relationship then him! bc she trains with him on maui, but this training was good for her, but to less for him, bc both needs different training!
she needs a lot of attention, that is also clear!
and something i think about is, that they both are already not any longer together, i can´t help me but there are some strange things going on!
since then i don´t know when they actually met each other! and she didn´t say that she want´s to invite him! she said she had to talk to her mum if they can invite the norge team!
2; no christmas togther and i also think that they didn´t spend new year together she was in the us for christmas, which she normal doesn´t do, bc of the jetleg and the traveling time
3;he didn´t congratulate her over twitter (like he did last year when she was good) to the third place in gs in aspen to the third place in super g in lake louise to the second place in downhill in bad kleinkirchheim to the fifth place in super g in cortina to the fouth place in super combination/downhill in st. moritz
but he congratulate lotte today for her six place in the combination!
4; her sister with husband and nephew are with her on the european races for some support!
(like the little sis from lindsey vonn after the disvorce from lindseys husband, i mean also lindsey have support from her family)
i can be wrong! but i think there is something going on! and bc of this aksel can´t concentrate on the things he want to do like he want and should concentrate on!
and i don´t know, maybe i now a bit to harsh, but i think to have such a girlfriend like julia is a lot and hard work, bc to have some one like her on your side, needs a lot of power and energy! bc she really needs a lot of bling bling and attention and she likes to stand in the middle and all cameras on her! and aksel is more this down to earth guy! so there are two different worlds meet each other!
(don´t get me wrong, julia is maybe a real great girl, but she knows how to get what she wants, and she said one time, she get´s always that what she wants even when this cost a lot)
I agree with you, Corinna. Something went wrong at the end of the year or around the Paganella fun race!
There Aksel lost his quite good form since the start of the season. I watched this race, and I saw an Aksel which was not really him. He seemed that much disappointed about his race because he expected obviously much more. I was a bit asthonnished because I thought this fun race is so unimportant.
No idea if they are not together yet, or if they have only a very strong "on" and "off" realtionship.
I had the impression they were together on Silvester and skied also some days together. But something happened during this time, and afterwards Aksel lost his good condition and went finally ill with his severe flue which he had in Adelboden.
Perhaps he stopped to congratulate JM on Twitter because it shows up in big letters on his homepage. LOL I presume they communicate with other means, like secret FB connection, etc.
You are right, Corinna, being together with Julia must be a restless time because she seems to be a very active girl and looks a bit hectic too. Cannot imagine she is reading a book or keep quiet for a while, she seems also to be very wordy. For me she is like most of the American girls with a position in the public, they have something in common.
Anyway, they have kind of strange relationship and for me it is mainly an example of "contrasts attracts eachother".
Of course it is not our business, but we love Aksel and we do strongly care for him, don't we, Corinna??
The only thing wich could be a sign they had some troubles or are going seperate ways is her strange haircut (you posted a picture!). I read somewhere woman change hair style often after a break.
I think since then she doesn't look the same way anymore! Coincidence or not - I do not know.
@Ekaterina Thank you for your nice words! Everything was good at the doctor, she has changed my treatment and I will visit her on 8th of March. Now is your turn to come back with good results after the first surgery, on 6th of february. I wish you good luck and to have a smooth and fast recovery! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you and I will pray for you. Love you!!!
@Corinna Thanks for the news! As I told you on FB I think I'm living on the moon, bc I didn't know anything about these earthquakes till now... lol
@GIFFY Where are you, my dear Sis??? We all are missing you... even the Doctor!! lol
@All Wish you a good and not so cold new week! Take care!
I agree with you. Although it's none of our business, he's always to be focused on.
I've been thinking ALS and JM chosed the " nearly wrong partner " to get along with. I'm still thinking so, however it's none of my business. ... ;-))) Aksel needs the reset. I suppose he learnt many things from the mismatched relation. I wouldn't mean Julia is not good. She's very friendly and would be nice for ALS as one of his familiar friends. But not the partner like they tried to be.
Thank you so much for speaking out your thoughts my dear friends. I am a direct person, and even if I try to be very diplomatique I could unwantendly hurt someone!
So you both gave me comfort, because you bring in your own thoughts and made a sincerely constructive discussion possible.
@Nicoletta I'm a direct person, too, Nicolettchen ! But it does not matter, bc we here understand each other.
@corinna As for the other topic, I think you're right. The media, especially since the 20th Century, has started to connect people in the various location, and as a result, nowadays we're informed at once of the natural disaster which happens far from our own location. Then, we become to feel we have more natural disasters in recent years. But it's wrong. The frequency of such natural disasters are not changing in history. But we can only say some location has more, and some location has less. It depends only on the condition of the earth. It's a kind of the show produced by the earth.
@corinna Our history is much much shorter than that of the earth, as well as that of the universe. People often talks about the recent abnormal climate, and I was apparently one of them. But after 3.11 last year, I've thought about it very often, but now I feel there is no abnormal climate. It is just one day of the earth's long history.
Hope you enjoy a lunch, though it's a quick one, and have fun rest of the day, corinna !
You are right the weather is not to control, and people are wrong, if they think it was much better in earlier times.
Here we will soon have the "Sibirian cold" wich is already close to Zurich, this evening it started with havy snowfall and temperatures will go down remarkably by the end of the week. On Thursday we expect only -6 to -10 degrees. In the Eastern Europe countries people suffer a lot. Here I found an article about the "Sibirische Kältewelle in Europa":
@Nicoletta This winter in Japan is severely cold. The weather report repeats the word " cold waves ", but it does not seem to be Sibirische Kaltewelle, bc it is moving to the west.I don't know which cold waves are staying over Japan. Keep yourself warm, Nicolettchen !
@dana I think it'll be warm in March when you visit your doctor in B.
Yes, it is interesting you have such a cold winter in Japan, Ekaterina!
I forgot to mention, our evening/nights will be extremely cold minus 15 till minus 20 degrees. Cannot imagine at the moment, and I promiss I will stay at home!!
@Corinna The weather in Germany seems also to be very cold! Do you have snow?
@Nicoletta It does not look JM who answered " Aksel " when she was asked what gift she wanted to get for Christmas. So the couple seems to decide not to advance to " the next step ". It sounds the peaceful separation. But is the rumor true that ALS bought the residence in Lofoten about 2 years ago for their " nest " ? ... though I understand it's none of my business. ... ;-))) Or did the management of ALS & JM advise them to take the different policy about their relationship from the previous one ? ... though again it's none of my business. ... :-)))
btw, Nicolettchen, TV here says the cold temperature in Japan and the recorded level of a snow fall ( nearly 5 meter in January already ) in the mountain areas are caused by Siberian cold wave. It's the same ! The Siberian cold wave is working so hard. I wonder when will it be going to take holidays and stop working such hard ! In Tokio, the temperature is from -1 to +5, so much warmer than Zurich. Please stay at home, Nicolettchen, -15 to -20 is too cold. Tomorrow afternoon, we'll have +10 with heavy wind, but after that it goes down to -1 again. But it's winter. Winter cannot be hot. ... ;-))) However I feel sorry for the 2 cancellations of TR, of course the race and the TR have to be done under the good weather for the safety.
@All ladies ! Let's keep warm by drinking cups of hot tea like Nicoletta, and by the hot water bath like me. Kisses & Hugs ! LOVE !
@ekaterina yes aksel bought an appartment in the lofoten but for him and not for him and jm! bc he was already searching earlier for it till every one was talking about their relationship!
you mean christmas for one year (2010) when she said she want aksel wrapped under the christmas tree! this year (2011) she didn´t say anything about it!
@ekterina and nicoletta here it is cold too -5 and -15°C! but no snow around!
@nicoletta i read the snow mag articel and i found this part funny
"There was also a public bib draw and an autograph signing, which cuts into the relaxation, but nothing makes me as happy as watching little kids’ faces light up when they get my signature."
well ok she can say that is happy when she can sign stuff for kids, but on so many pics when she is signing stuff for kids she looks like that
or more bad, or she makes some crazy faces! like this one ( i know that this is not from a signing thing but i saw already so many pics when she was signing things when she looked like that!)
you just have to look trough her pics on fb! which are be posted from her fans!
(sorry i had to say this, but this is something i recognize, every one esle is always smiling and great and lovly to the fans, but she looks so often real bad (bad in that meaning that she doesn´t look so happy)at her fans when they wants a pic or a sign; oh and i know it is not easy when you be allround from fans to be always in a good mood, bc sometimes you can be bug by them or you had a bad day; but she looks so often so bad! and aren´t the fans something good and great and you should be happy about them)
yesterday i had a patient which was droven 35km, only to get a treatment from me! he said, that he get us (or better said me) recommended, first i thougth that this person that recommended us was at my boss, but no it was at me and this already in 2010! my patient said that this person told him that i be one of the best therapist and that he (this person who recommended me) can recommended me 100% and bc of that he (my new patient) drove 35km! he drove 35 km bc of a 25min treatment! how crazy is this?
and today i was after work at a so called "hausbesuch" (when ppl can´t come to the practice bc of that that they can go any more or don´t have an opportunity to come to the practice we drove home and make the therapy there) my patient there is 85 years old and i know him already over 2 years, i be there now for some weeks and today his grandson (he is 4) huged me for saying hi! i came into the kitchen to say hi (oh i have to say that i can go into this house without ringing the doorbell) and his little grandson saw me smiled and run to me and huged my left leg and he didn´t let it out! then he wanted to show me is new kindergarden stuff and didn´t wanted to eat his lunch, bc of i was now there and he wanted to join me and his granddad for the therapy! he (the little kid) is normal a real shy kid and it takes me a lot of time that he said hi to me and today he huged me for the first time! this was so sweet and great!
First of all, I like to thank you for the great pics, Corinna! Aksel seemed to have absolved a real interview marathon at Kitzbühel.
HaHa, I agree with you doing the ski instructor calender is not a big help to change the image, and she quite enjoyed it not only because the photographer was Prince Hubertus von Hohenlohe.
Found this wiki info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_Hubertus_of_Hohenlohe-Langenburg
JM is kind of a professional model, and she certainly can smile from one second to the other. She likes to pose and loves the lights as well as the showbiz. In a way she is kind of excellent actress and plays different roles, very flexible.
ALS is more authentic and never artificial person, quiet, eventually a thinker, honest towards others, likes stability, and has great values and loves in a way tradition, he is also good in talking to King and Princes, but for total other reasons. Presume he has never the aim to belong to them, for JM I am not so sure. HaHa
He is in my eyes a perfect example of a man from the North. Down to earth like you mentionned, Corinna, and he never plays roles. He has lots and lots of natural charm and is an extremely photogenic person. He likes it simple, no bling bling, posing he does only because it belongs to his job. He is very reliable and tries to fullfil everthing what people expect from him, concerning profession as well as in private matters. Therefore he carries big weights on his sholders.
Perhaps Mel can us help out!!
@Mel
Please play it again, Mel! I mean the cards!
BTW do have also a lot of snow in Ohio, and is it rather cold like in Europe?? I heard today on TV it is minus 42 degrees in Russia, and can sink down to minus 50 there!! I regret these poor people, horrible situation.
on pic nr 16 you see kjetil skiing trough the crowed to get to the lift after the inspection!
ReplyDeleteand on nr 3 there is aksel in the crowed he stop from time to time to gives signs and to make some pics with the fans!
thanks for the posting the pics, the most of them from the inspection! and i really have to say that aksel made a quick inspection but kjetil was a bit more faster then him!
the second last pic is kjetiel and on pic nr 19 is aksel, sorry that i cut the heads of but they was to quick for me!
@Mel
ReplyDelete@Corinna
Thanks for making/posting all the great pics from Kitzbühel. They give a great picture about the scenery from the Slalom race!
Love also the pictures from the spectators and the working men with the hose. Great to see Aksel and Kjetil at work!
@Mel
ReplyDeleteThank you, dear Mel ! very exciting !
@corinna
All pics are also very interesting to me, bc they're from the special place and look so vivid.
@corinna
ReplyDeleteI saw the nice pics from the link you kindly posted, corinna. You're outstanding !
btw, ist das ein Stau der Autos ? oder Verkehrsunfall ?
@Nicoletta
Thanks for the magical link, Nicolettchen ! It's so fantastic, and I think it is what we call " a fairy tale ". However the temperature seems very low.
I didn't know the lake in Zurich can be frozen. Is it about once in 50 years ? And do you think this winter 2011/2012 belongs to the warm one in Europe ?
In Japan, we have the very cold winter now. There are many snow in the mountain areas in Japan. But it's OK, bc they are used to it.
Nicolettchen, you're right. People living only in Tokyo like me are bad at walking in the street after the snowfall. Normally the snowfall of some cm in Tokyo is once in 5 years and for only one night. So we forget how to do it easily. But I think it's better to have some equipment to walk safely on the ice or iced snow. Maybe a pair of boot with a sole against slip.
@All ladies !
GA/PA comes soon !
@Ekaterina
ReplyDeleteYou are right Ekaterina, the lake of Zurich gets only frozen with constant low temperatures, the up and down we have for many years now doesn't make it possible. Until now it is rather warm for Winter and not much snow.
Having snow fall in Tokio only once in 5 years makes it rather complicated. LOL The positive side is, you havn't to invest so much into a new pair of boots, they last forever! LOL
@All
Hans Olsson posted awesome pictures from GA/PA.
Enjoy!
http://hans-olsson.com/finally/
@ekaterina what do you mean with stau der autos oder verkehrsunfall?
ReplyDeletegreat you saw the pics!
dana was so nice to post them!
@Nicoletta
ReplyDeleteThanks for the beautiful pics of GA/PA by Hans !
@corinna
I talk about Kreuzung you were forced to wait for 20 minuten.
@ekaterina i was standing there bc of to much traffic, it is always in the morning (but in the morning i don´t have to wait there) but in the midday, there is also so much traffic, that you can´t turn and that you have to wait and wait and wait!
ReplyDelete@corinna
ReplyDeleteIst das eine Autobahn oder Bundesstrasse ?
In the suburb of Tokio, there are several Bahnubergang which would not open for more than 30 minuten. When the Bahnubergang was built, it was OK, bc the train traffic was less than the present. But more and more people comes to Tokio to work, and the train traffic had to increase.
It is not unusual for people who does not live in Tokio, to spend more than 90 minuten ( one way ! ) ) in the train to go to the office in Tokio every day.
Actually there are viele Anstellungen in Tokio. As the result, the train traffic becomes busier and busier, and Bahnubergang would not open soon. So the railway company is trying to move the railway from the ground to the Hochbahn.
@ekaterina es ist eine landstraße!
ReplyDeleteand from that way i came you can only drive right (most time without problems) or left (the way i have to go and where i alway have to wait)
bc the cars came from the right and from the left and i have to wait to be able to drive left, till i came out! and when there is much business traffic, bc of lunchbreak and so on there a lot of cars and i have to wait!
since unfortunatly my lumix tz2 camera doesn´t want to work anymore, i have to buy me a new one
ReplyDeletei decided me for this

we have the nokia f 801 with us in america 1996 and made a lot of great pics, my mom said when i want to use it can have it!
@Nicoletta
ReplyDeleteAgain, Cuche ! Congrats to Switzerland, Nicolettchen !
Though I don't know how Aksel ran today, bc his TR was not bad.
@corinna
I'm thinking about buying the same type of the camera. People say the camera with the film makes the better print and I think so, too. But the light weight camera is practical, so we need both anyway.
@All ladies !
Es is jetzt sehr kalt in Tokio. But it's much much better than cruel summer in Tokio.
Have a beautiful Sunday ! LOVE !
@dana
ReplyDeleteAre you back from B, dear dana ? Is everything with you about the health matter OK ? I'm a bit busy with the paper works concerning the surgery & hospitalization, and also busy with the preparation for my stay in TWMU.
Anyhow, all are the first experience for me. The connection with the big medical institution like TWMU, the surgeries, hospitalization, and absence at home except vacation, and so on. But I'm well and fine now, and I hope youare, too, dana !
@Ekaterina
ReplyDeleteWish you good luck for your first surgery and a hope everything will be fine for you, dear Ekaterina!
Will think of you on Monday, and I am glad to hear from you soon!
All the best, Ekaterina!
Hugs & Kisses!
Thank you for your nice words for Didier Cuche! I quite like his Farewell Tour! He seems still being in a very good raceing mood. LOL
@ekaterina i wishy you also good luck for the first surgery!
ReplyDeleteand i also hope that everything will be fine after it!
let us know as soon as possible how the surgery was!
have a great sunday!
@nicoletta have you felt one of the earthquakes btw last tuesday and friday? which were in southtyrol and northitaly?
ReplyDeletealso that light one on 20.01. near innsbruck, this was a 2,1!
that ones from northitaly southtyrol was btw
on 27.01. was it a 5,4
http://www.blick.ch/news/erdbeben-in-norditalien-id1741693.html
25.01. was it a 4,9
http://www.nzz.ch/nachrichten/panorama/eine_reihe_von_beben_in_norditalien_1.14518504.html
on 27.01. in the morning it was a 2,6 in vinschgau
http://www.stol.it/Artikel/Chronik-im-Ueberblick/Lokal/Leichtes-Erdbeben-im-Vinschgau
well i didn´t felt anything!
and i also know that this is normal for this region! bc in northitaly, middleitaly and southtyrol are often ligth earthquakes btw 0.5 and 3.0 and also 5.0-6.0 earthquakes can happen and be normal for this region!
but some ppl already went crazy bc of the mayancalender!
bc we had also an suneruption
http://www.newscentral.de/sonnensturm-2012-nasa-heute-erde-3362
the last one which was so heavy was 2003 (so also something normal, this happens every 9 to 11 years and for 2013 they say the biggest one, but this biggest one will be not so big like the last one 2002/2003!
but one great side effect have this suneruption

@Corinna
ReplyDeleteThank you for your great report about earthquakes, Corinna.
To be honest I didn't feel something and I did not really read about it. Strange isn't it?
The thing with the Sonnensturm is quite interesting. Here I saw spectactular pictures about the Northern lights caused by the Sonnensturm, they must be unique this year. On TV they showed some absolutely great videos and said they can also be seen in Northern Germany.
Here some illustrative pictures from NZZ:
http://www.nzz.ch/nachrichten/panorama/sonnensturm_nordlicht_tromsoe_1.14516281.htm
Anne-May will have good times in Tromsö at the moment!
Hope Aksel has today a better day, but it is real difficult to overcome a bad phases and if you are so much irregular with your achievements it must be a real roller coaster for your mind and also your ego.
As I mentionned before, in my opinion Aksel and also Kjetil need more mental support. I have the feeling they sit alone and nobody bothers really. I also have never heard one word about Harvard, is he still the trainer of our Vikings?
It is a bit harsh, but in football if the players suck several times, they kick out the trainer! Isn't it so?
But I must say a seperate mental trainer who has the gift and the education to support the ski racers is the greatest need. In my personal opinion here is the problem.
Second Didier Cuche has kind of master in preparing skis, but it is not only that, he has obviously the talent to inscribe the slope and his personal route deeply in his mind. And he seems to be extremely strong in handling his mental strenght. There he seem to be unique! Maybe he did not get this strenght from one day to the other, it is wellknown his real career started with 30 years.
Good luck to all racers, especially Aksel needs today a good day! Unfortunately the weather is not a big help.
Wish you a great Sunday, Corinna!
@Nicoletta
ReplyDelete@corinna
I'm afraid I gave you the wrong info. It's next Sunday I check in TWMU and the first surgery is in February 6th on Monday. I think I want to let you know in February 8th on Wednesday when I'm about to leave TWMU and be back at home. I feel a bit restless, bc lots of the first experience wait for me, so it takes longer time for me to get ready. My dad helps me with the private medical insurance. I'm not good at such paper works.
... continues ...
@nicoletta about this mental training! this is something great! but the athletes can decided by them self if they want that or not! bc not everyone like that!
ReplyDeletethe only thing the trainers can do, is to say them, that they would prefer a mental trainer, but when the athelets that don´t want then not!
some of the skiers has already mental trainer, but not all!
and i be sure when aksel or some one of the rest wants a mental trainer then they would do this!
havard is still coach of the team! i saw him last sunday in kitzbühel!
skiing is a "einzelsportart" so the most came out of the ahtlete him self! when he/she doesn´t want to train he/she can´t blame the trainer, ok they can blame that service men, but only when he/she did something wrong with the skies!
but for the mental/healt/body conditon to be in topform the athlete is "selbstverantwortlich"!
and to be honest ( i don´t want now to say that he didn´t desevered some holiday)
aksel made a lot of holliday/vacation last summer with julia, except of training with the rest of the team! he went on vacation with julia till the rest of his team was in training camp! and that "pipifax" training he made with julia on hawaii, well, that bit training you can´t compare with that training his team made, in the gym and on the mountains! they was on a glacier to test skis and to train during he was in hawaii on the surfboard and in a tropical gym! and i be sure that he didn´t train so much like his team mates!
i know this is sad, but he has to think about what he want and what he want to do!
a whole summer with vacation or be back on the podium!
kjetil is going to be better and better, but he train a lot and he goes on vacation when the whole team goes on vacation! and he earned good places out of this training!
(i know that everyone has earned some vacation, also aksel, but he was injected to much by the lifestyle of julia, with party all night long and not to much training)
and to be honest i be sure that aksel would be better, when he would train more during the summer, with dryland training and like the rest of the team going on glaciers to train on snow!
but he prefer more the "lockeren lifestyle" on maui with windsurfing and the sun!
@corinna
ReplyDelete@Nicoletta
Please don't forget to make me join in the earthquake talks, dear corinna & dear Nicoletta ! ... ;-)))
But I didn't know about the recent earthquakes in Europe until corinna informed us. Thanks corinna !
After March 11th, 2011, we've had 4 - 5 times more earthquakes than usual everyday.
http://tenki.jp/earthquake/
The very recent shakes happen around Mt.Fuji. Mt.Fuji is the famous mountain, but it is also fearful mountain.
And people here says the influence by the sun-eruption reaches the earth in various ways, though it is not well confirmed.
In fact we had some M5's class earthquakes yesterday and it may be a drop of the sun-eruption influence.
@Nicoletta
ReplyDelete@corinna
I think the top athlete is made from the outstanding power of concentration. I also think it is a kind of the technique, and Cuche is equipped with this.
The ski race is so quick and the snow condition changes every minutes, so the top ski racer needs it. Some gains it by the image training and some does it by another ways.
Though it may be wrong, from my point of view, Aksel was too busy during last summer mainly with the sponsor obligation and with Julia. He had better find the new management of the schedule.
@corinna
ReplyDeleteThanks for the links, corinna. I didn't know these. I only knew about Etna.
So..... this year 2012 is the final year of the Maya-calendar. Of course it means we'll have the brand new era in 2013. But it seems the earth becomes very active. We cannot control inside the earth. I think it's the good opportunity for us to think about the earth & nature and cherish it more than ever.
To our regret, there are some people who labor under a delusion which says the human being can dominate the world. It's an absolute misunderstanding. The fact is that we are dominated by the earth which is influenced by, for example, the sun and other condition.
@ekaterina well this all activitys i wrote her, are totally normal!
ReplyDeletethe etna, has nearly every year some activitys!
also on el hierrro or la palma
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanarische_Inseln#Vulkanismus_und_Erosion
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canary_Islands
the canary islands are vulcan islands, and from time to time active
the earthquakes in northitaly/southtyrol, are normal too, bc there the eurpean plate and the african plate meet each other and the african is more active
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plate_tectonics
so every thing is normal - the only thing that has changed is the media, bc in 1900 or 1920 when something like that had happened it needs more time till everyone knows it! and now in the time of internet and that whole stuff, there are the news real quick around the world, and that has the effect that everyone means, that this natural disasters getting more and more! but they didn´t get more and more
(ok we have some years, where more often happen something but then we have also some years, when less happen)
and @ekaterina you be right we can´t controll the earth!
@all have a great sunday evening
@Ekaterina
ReplyDeleteSo you were one week to early, dear Ekaterina!
I agree with you, you seem to be a bit nerveous because all the new things you will have to experience. Believe me I feel deeply with you, I would react the same way!
Glad you can enjoy one more week "Gnadenfrist"!
Regarding earthquakes, we ment you in the hospital and would never ever exclude our earthquake expert!! LOL
You are perfectly right, the earth is dominating us and not vice versa! It was always like that, and it will always be!
Only some human beeing think otherwise.
@Corinna
ReplyDelete@Ekaterina
I followed with great interest your thoughts about Aksel's training, vacation and schedule in general, as well as the mental training.
All your inputs are to consider, and I tend to agree with all your points. Obviously Aksel needs urgently to think over all these subjects! Eventually several things have to be changed.
On the otherhand, I do not know how much they trained in Hawai and Julia seems to have taken good profit from that. She is constantly in the top ten or better, and has reached several podiums this season. Certainly the "Pipifax" training LOL!! cannot be compared with dryland training with the team.
The change to the Head skis makes still troubles, if weather and slope conditions change every day, setup and everything seems to make problems too.
I think the longer vacation is also an image problem for Aksel. Everybody is a bit suspicious about the aim Aksel really has.
I am afraid Julia does not improve so much Aksel's image, despite of that Julia seems to be a clever lady, witty businesswoman, and also a great skier.
Perhaps Aksel should do much more things alone for example with his freeride friends, etc. There I see the right Aksel, there he is really authentic for me!
Doing more quality training with his team members is also definitely clear and urgent. It seems Aksel and Kjetil are again a bit closer, and this is also urgently needed.
Eventually Aksel should look more for his personal needs, doing perhaps more, and for a longer period with his brother, eventually father or visiting grandpa, simply said beeing with his family. Staying in Oslo and Norway in general could also be real good for the Norwegian Aksel and can never be replaced by a 100 days in Hawai in my opinion.
This eventually could also be good for his mental strength. Retourning to himself, following his personal needs, not showbiz not commercial things, not sponsors and not a very demanding girlfriend. Sorry!
Like Ekaterina mentionned, he has certainly to many subjetct to fullfill at the same time and to overthink his schedule in the future.
Hope very much Aksel can sort out his life very soon, and concentrate on the main purposes he really needs for himself, and I bet so he will also be a better ski racer again.
Everybody needs time to reload his batteries, quality time for himself, and also enough time to think over his life, new plans and projects, etc.
Please enjoy one of my favorite videos with Aksel which Dana kindly posted on FB:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmsO3exj41A&feature=share
Have fun, my dear friends!
Love you!
@nicoletta on some points i agree with you!
ReplyDeleteshe profites more from this relationship then him! bc she trains with him on maui, but this training was good for her, but to less for him, bc both needs different training!
she needs a lot of attention, that is also clear!
and something i think about is, that they both are already not any longer together, i can´t help me but there are some strange things going on!
1;http://www.fisalpine.com/videos-archive/aksel-and-julia-turkey-and-more,817.html
since then i don´t know when they actually met each other! and she didn´t say that she want´s to invite him! she said she had to talk to her mum if they can invite the norge team!
2; no christmas togther and i also think that they didn´t spend new year together
she was in the us for christmas, which she normal doesn´t do, bc of the jetleg and the traveling time
3;he didn´t congratulate her over twitter (like he did last year when she was good)
to the third place in gs in aspen
to the third place in super g in lake louise
to the second place in downhill in bad kleinkirchheim
to the fifth place in super g in cortina
to the fouth place in super combination/downhill in st. moritz
but he congratulate lotte today for her six place in the combination!
4; her sister with husband and nephew are with her on the european races for some support!
(like the little sis from lindsey vonn after the disvorce from lindseys husband, i mean also lindsey have support from her family)
i can be wrong! but i think there is something going on! and bc of this aksel can´t concentrate on the things he want to do like he want and should concentrate on!
and i don´t know, maybe i now a bit to harsh, but i think to have such a girlfriend like julia is a lot and hard work, bc to have some one like her on your side, needs a lot of power and energy! bc she really needs a lot of bling bling and attention and she likes to stand in the middle and all cameras on her! and aksel is more this down to earth guy! so there are two different worlds meet each other!
(don´t get me wrong, julia is maybe a real great girl, but she knows how to get what she wants, and she said one time, she get´s always that what she wants even when this cost a lot)
oh and i forget to say i know that this in not my kind of business he is a grown up men and should know what he does!
ReplyDeletebut this things i mention before and some other, are so strange, that i was thinking about that they be maybe not any longer together!
but it is not my kind of business and i be so happy about this! not to have all this stress like he has!
@Corinna
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, Corinna. Something went wrong at the end of the year or around the Paganella fun race!
There Aksel lost his quite good form since the start of the season. I watched this race, and I saw an Aksel which was not really him. He seemed that much disappointed about his race because he expected obviously much more. I was a bit asthonnished because I thought this fun race is so unimportant.
No idea if they are not together yet, or if they have only a very strong "on" and "off" realtionship.
I had the impression they were together on Silvester and skied also some days together. But something happened during this time, and afterwards Aksel lost his good condition and went finally ill with his severe flue which he had in Adelboden.
Perhaps he stopped to congratulate JM on Twitter because it shows up in big letters on his homepage. LOL
I presume they communicate with other means, like secret FB connection, etc.
You are right, Corinna, being together with Julia must be a restless time because she seems to be a very active girl and looks a bit hectic too.
Cannot imagine she is reading a book or keep quiet for a while, she seems also to be very wordy. For me she is like most of the American girls with a position in the public, they have something in common.
Anyway, they have kind of strange relationship and for me it is mainly an example of "contrasts attracts eachother".
@Corinna
ReplyDeleteOf course it is not our business, but we love Aksel and we do strongly care for him, don't we, Corinna??
The only thing wich could be a sign they had some troubles or are going seperate ways is her strange haircut (you posted a picture!). I read somewhere woman change hair style often after a break.
I think since then she doesn't look the same way anymore! Coincidence or not - I do not know.
@nicoletta
ReplyDeletei understand what you mean!
and i think that person who have to handle hard with this is more aksel then jm! it seems to cost him more engery/power then her!
i know this contrast attracts eachother, but the most time (not always, i also know couples where it work out) this doesn´t work out for so long!
so let´s see what will happen next!
@Ekaterina
ReplyDeleteThank you for your nice words! Everything was good at the doctor, she has changed my treatment and I will visit her on 8th of March.
Now is your turn to come back with good results after the first surgery, on 6th of february. I wish you good luck and to have a smooth and fast recovery! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you and I will pray for you.
Love you!!!
@Corinna
Thanks for the news!
As I told you on FB I think I'm living on the moon, bc I didn't know anything about these earthquakes till now... lol

Although it's none of our business, he's always to be focused on.
I've been thinking ALS and JM chosed the " nearly wrong partner " to get along with. I'm still thinking so, however it's none of my business. ... ;-)))
Aksel needs the reset. I suppose he learnt many things from the mismatched relation. I wouldn't mean Julia is not good. She's very friendly and would be nice for ALS as one of his familiar friends. But not the partner like they tried to be.
@Ekaterina
ReplyDelete@Corinna
Thank you so much for speaking out your thoughts my dear friends. I am a direct person, and even if I try to be very diplomatique I could unwantendly hurt someone!
So you both gave me comfort, because you bring in your own thoughts and made a sincerely constructive discussion possible.
Wish you a great day!
Love you!
@Nicoletta
ReplyDeleteI'm a direct person, too, Nicolettchen ! But it does not matter, bc we here understand each other.
@corinna
As for the other topic, I think you're right. The media, especially since the 20th Century, has started to connect people in the various location, and as a result, nowadays we're informed at once of the natural disaster which happens far from our own location. Then, we become to feel we have more natural disasters in recent years. But it's wrong. The frequency of such natural disasters are not changing in history. But we can only say some location has more, and some location has less. It depends only on the condition of the earth. It's a kind of the show produced by the earth.
@ekaterina and nicoletta i be the same, i say what i mean! and sometimes i couldn´t shut my mouth up! so i had to say what i had said yesterday!
ReplyDelete@ekaterina it is natural that our earth is in motion! oh imagine what would be when our earth wouldn´t motion!
i wish you all a great afternoon! i have just had a quick lunch break!
@corinna
ReplyDeleteOur history is much much shorter than that of the earth, as well as that of the universe.
People often talks about the recent abnormal climate, and I was apparently one of them. But after 3.11 last year, I've thought about it very often, but now I feel there is no abnormal climate. It is just one day of the earth's long history.
Hope you enjoy a lunch, though it's a quick one, and have fun rest of the day, corinna !
@Ekaterina
ReplyDelete@Corinna
You are right the weather is not to control, and people are wrong, if they think it was much better in earlier times.
Here we will soon have the "Sibirian cold" wich is already close to Zurich, this evening it started with havy snowfall and temperatures will go down remarkably by the end of the week. On Thursday we expect only -6 to -10 degrees. In the Eastern Europe countries people suffer a lot. Here I found an article about the "Sibirische Kältewelle in Europa":
http://www.nzz.ch/nachrichten/panorama/sibirische_kaeltewelle_erfasst_fast_ganz_europa_1.14689654.html
Hope this has not again a bad influence on training/races in Chamonix.
Wish you great evening/or a relaxing sleep!
@Nicoletta
ReplyDeleteThis winter in Japan is severely cold. The weather report repeats the word " cold waves ", but it does not seem to be Sibirische Kaltewelle, bc it is moving to the west.I don't know which cold waves are staying over Japan.
Keep yourself warm, Nicolettchen !
@dana
I think it'll be warm in March when you visit your doctor in B.
@Ekaterina
ReplyDeleteYes, it is interesting you have such a cold winter in Japan, Ekaterina!
I forgot to mention, our evening/nights will be extremely cold minus 15 till minus 20 degrees. Cannot imagine at the moment, and I promiss I will stay at home!!

ReplyDeleteIt does not look JM who answered " Aksel " when she was asked what gift she wanted to get for Christmas. So the couple seems to decide not to advance to " the next step ". It sounds the peaceful separation.
But is the rumor true that ALS bought the residence in Lofoten about 2 years ago for their " nest " ? ... though I understand it's none of my business. ... ;-)))
Or did the management of ALS & JM advise them to take the different policy about their relationship from the previous one ? ... though again it's none of my business. ... :-)))
btw, Nicolettchen, TV here says the cold temperature in Japan and the recorded level of a snow fall ( nearly 5 meter in January already ) in the mountain areas are caused by Siberian cold wave. It's the same ! The Siberian cold wave is working so hard. I wonder when will it be going to take holidays and stop working such hard !
In Tokio, the temperature is from -1 to +5, so much warmer than Zurich. Please stay at home, Nicolettchen, -15 to -20 is too cold.
Tomorrow afternoon, we'll have +10 with heavy wind, but after that it goes down to -1 again. But it's winter. Winter cannot be hot. ... ;-))) However I feel sorry for the 2 cancellations of TR, of course the race and the TR have to be done under the good weather for the safety.
@All ladies !
Let's keep warm by drinking cups of hot tea like Nicoletta, and by the hot water bath like me.
Kisses & Hugs ! LOVE !
@ekaterina yes aksel bought an appartment in the lofoten but for him and not for him and jm! bc he was already searching earlier for it till every one was talking about their relationship!
ReplyDeleteyou mean christmas for one year (2010) when she said she want aksel wrapped under the christmas tree! this year (2011) she didn´t say anything about it!
@ekterina and nicoletta here it is cold too -5 and -15°C! but no snow around!
@nicoletta i read the snow mag articel and i found this part funny
ReplyDelete"There was also a public bib draw and an autograph signing, which cuts into the relaxation, but nothing makes me as happy as watching little kids’ faces light up when they get my signature."
well ok she can say that is happy when she can sign stuff for kids, but on so many pics when she is signing stuff for kids she looks like that
http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150455218880586&set=o.131459577692&type=3
look on her eyes, she doesn´t look so happy!
or more bad, or she makes some crazy faces! like this one ( i know that this is not from a signing thing but i saw already so many pics when she was signing things when she looked like that!)
http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=2493079806127&set=o.131459577692&type=3
you just have to look trough her pics on fb! which are be posted from her fans!
(sorry i had to say this, but this is something i recognize, every one esle is always smiling and great and lovly to the fans, but she looks so often real bad (bad in that meaning that she doesn´t look so happy)at her fans when they wants a pic or a sign; oh and i know it is not easy when you be allround from fans to be always in a good mood, bc sometimes you can be bug by them or you had a bad day; but she looks so often so bad! and aren´t the fans something good and great and you should be happy about them)
oh and i got the last two days two got things!
ReplyDeleteyesterday i had a patient which was droven 35km, only to get a treatment from me! he said, that he get us (or better said me) recommended, first i thougth that this person that recommended us was at my boss, but no it was at me and this already in 2010!
my patient said that this person told him that i be one of the best therapist and that he (this person who recommended me) can recommended me 100% and bc of that he (my new patient) drove 35km!
he drove 35 km bc of a 25min treatment! how crazy is this?
and today i was after work at a so called "hausbesuch" (when ppl can´t come to the practice bc of that that they can go any more or don´t have an opportunity to come to the practice we drove home and make the therapy there)
my patient there is 85 years old and i know him already over 2 years, i be there now for some weeks and today his grandson (he is 4) huged me for saying hi!
i came into the kitchen to say hi (oh i have to say that i can go into this house without ringing the doorbell) and his little grandson saw me smiled and run to me and huged my left leg and he didn´t let it out!
then he wanted to show me is new kindergarden stuff and didn´t wanted to eat his lunch, bc of i was now there and he wanted to join me and his granddad for the therapy!
he (the little kid) is normal a real shy kid and it takes me a lot of time that he said hi to me and today he huged me for the first time!
this was so sweet and great!
@Corinna
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, I like to thank you for the great pics, Corinna! Aksel seemed to have absolved a real interview marathon at Kitzbühel.
HaHa, I agree with you doing the ski instructor calender is not a big help to change the image, and she quite enjoyed it not only because the photographer was Prince Hubertus von Hohenlohe.

JM is kind of a professional model, and she certainly can smile from one second to the other. She likes to pose and loves the lights as well as the showbiz. In a way she is kind of excellent actress and plays different roles, very flexible.
ALS is more authentic and never artificial person, quiet, eventually a thinker, honest towards others, likes stability, and has great values and loves in a way tradition, he is also good in talking to King and Princes, but for total other reasons. Presume he has never the aim to belong to them, for JM I am not so sure. HaHa
He is in my eyes a perfect example of a man from the North. Down to earth like you mentionned, Corinna, and he never plays roles. He has lots and lots of natural charm and is an extremely photogenic person. He likes it simple, no bling bling, posing he does only because it belongs to his job. He is very reliable and tries to fullfil everthing what people expect from him, concerning profession as well as in private matters. Therefore he carries big weights on his sholders.
Perhaps Mel can us help out!!
@Mel
Please play it again, Mel! I mean the cards!
BTW do have also a lot of snow in Ohio, and is it rather cold like in Europe?? I heard today on TV it is minus 42 degrees in Russia, and can sink down to minus 50 there!!
I regret these poor people, horrible situation.
