Ouch!
I wonder what he landed on when he crashed...I think I've got an addiction to dangerous sports...
We had the first ice early in the morning in center of Tokyo today ! It's about 3 weeks later than usual. It's been just sunny every day here, but the wind is so cold. That's the typical winter in Tokyo. snow ? not yet... Generally speaking, it snows a lot on the side of the Sea of Japan, but it doesn't snow a lot on the side the pacific Ocean.
My winter is on holidays at the moment! Weather gets warmer and warmer, it has started yesterday in the early morning, with relatively high temperatures around 5-6 degrees and with heavy and "warm" rain.
So because streets are still very cold, we got immediately dangererous icy streets and a lot of crashes on the roads. Many people got injured also by walking on the pavements.
I can again see a big chain of snow mountains on the horizon over Zurich, that means the warm wind called "Föhn" is working. For tomorrow it will be around 10 degrees, I wonder how they can manage it in Adelboden to have good slopes. I would say, that will be difficult!
Yesterday, I saw some extent of the Slalom race in Zagreb. Also there, the slope was more creamy than icy. It was the day of the Swedish cracks, her I like to post the rankings:
http://live.fisski.com/live391.htm
Kjetil, Lars and Leif were all very close around the 20th place. For Leif with a start number 54, not sure, but over 50 a wonderful great achievment!!
Our Zurbriggen had realy bad luck, with a big mistake he landed on the 30th.
So, all in all, Aksel's standing is still a very good one, and if he is in such a powerful, good mood like in Munich he will be great in Adelboden.
Here some (stupid or if you like useful) hints for the the FIS Live thing.
If you open, you see the red LIVE letters. In the same line you find START LIST, RANKINGS and STANDING.
Rankings means results after the race is finished. Also if you follow the race directly, you can quickly change to the startlist by choosing startlist. Everything clear?? Ha, Ha.
@Nicoletta. Hi ! Nicolettchen ! I know " Fohn ", and it seldom happens in winter in Tokyo. It seems it is a bit warm in Zurich than in Tokyo these days. It nearly doesn't rain here in winter and the next rain means the preparation of the start for spring. The first ice early in the morning today was found in the pond in the park. I knew it from the TV news at noon. So the roads and the pavements are all safe. But once it snows some 5 cm, it'll be dangerous next morning, bc the water in the snow is frozen during night at around zero C temperature, and as the result, the ambulance cars are busy taking many people who slipped and falled to the hospital. Meanwhile the road accidents happen within 3 hours after it snows, bc the all cars are not equipped with " snow tire " in Tokyo, and they skid, skid, and crash. As for rain, I think it actually sometimes rains in Tokyo, but the air ias very dry in winter, so water disappears before it is frozen.
btw, Nicoletta, thanks for the link in ALS ! It's nice, and I also think I agree with Olivia !
Hope you enjoy a pleasant evening, my dear Nicoletta ! Good night. Hugs !
Today was a good day. A little girl about 4 gave me a hug today right before I went to my first break. Then another little girl about 7 told me I was pretty while I was on my break. It made me feel better after everything that has been going on. :-)
@Mel. The children often knows what to do. Who let them know of it ? The lucky angels let them know what to do. Now you know what I mean, Mel. The complete recovery is not busy getting ready to meet you, Mel !
@Nicoletta, @dana, @corinna, @AM, and @ladies who watched the race on TV.
From my impression, the snow condition on the 2nd run seems much different from the 1st one, bc the temperature was high. Did TV commentator speak anything about that ? Aksel's 1st run was already great, but his 2nd run was also great. I feel he changed the set up on the 2nd run, or he knew how to deal with it. Aksel knows what the race is.
Also Cyprien Richard's 2nd run was really magnificent ! GS is fun, I think , from the point of view it has the 2 runs.
Will Aksel race slalom tomorrow ? or will he concentrate on DH in Wengen ?
Hope you all have a nice weekend ! Good night. Hugs !
@Ekaterina Thank you, my dear Ekaterina! But I'm not well! I have no fever for the moment but I'm in bad condition! I'm not in the mood for anything, I just wanna lie in my bed! The only thing it makes me happy is that Aksel won. It was so exciting to watch the race! His smile at the finish "gave me wings"! Haha!
Hope you and your little Ekaterina are fine! I was very scared these last two days bc my Mishu jumped over the gate and gone for "girls" on the neighborhood. We didn't know anything about him for two days and three nights and I thought we lost him! But this morning, while I was at work, he has showed up! He looks terrible, he was very hungry, but he's safe! LOL I didn't know LOVE can make you look so bad! Haha! Zorro was so happy to see Mishu again!
Wish you a beautiful weekend, dear Ekaterina! Hugs!
@Ekaterina I didn't watch the first run but our commentators said that the snow condition in the second run was different bc of the temperature was high!
You're right, C Richard was good too! Did you see his face when Aksel has arrived at the finish? He was a bit disappointed! :-))
Today I sticked for hours in front of the TV and I enjoyed all the great races.
Congrats to Aksel!! I am so happy for him. Aksel was just wonderful, concentrated, powerful, amazing .....!! This evening I saw my first presentation ceremony on TV. That was pretty cool too. Aksel looked stunning and was very happy. The atmosphere during the whole day at Chuenisbärgli/Adelboden seemed to be an extraordinary one.
The race was crazy exiting. And 10-15 great cracks from everywhere were giving them a sensational fight.
Have a wonderful day/evening/night and see you tomorrow!
@dana. I've been worried about you since I read your comment during your BD party here and ALS that you had a cold. The X'mas and the year-end & new-year season are very fun, but so many things to do, so people often catch a cold after those busy period. Please take good care of yourself, my dear dana !
btw, I'm so glad to know that Mishu came back home after a few days of " Romance ". I suppose you and Zorro have waited for his return crossing fingers. bc Mishu is your family as Zorro is.
I'm going to matinee this afternoon and be back for the slalom. Tomorrow is our national holiday, so I'm off. The new-year-lunch with my friends start at 11:00, and the opera " Tristan & Isolde " starts at 14:00. I have the ticket for 2 performances, and I've watched one already late last month. then, the new-year-dinner with another friends start at 20:00, and possibly be back home around 23:00 tomorrow. I'm happy there is no Aksel's race tomorrow. ...:-))) !!!
My dear dana, please take a good rest, just relax. Doing nothing is often productive when you feel sick, dana.
@Ekaterina Thank you for your concern, my dear Ekaterina! I try to be a good girls and to take care of myself!:))
Unfortunately Mishu ran away last night again and he has been injured very bad! I don't know if he was hit by a car or if some other dogs from that "wedding" has bitten him so badly, but a few hours ago a neighbor of mine called me to tell that is a black dog in a very bad condition in the middle of the street. I found him struggling to stand on his feet but he couldn't do it! He had blood at his nose and foam at his mouth so I thought he was poisoned. We don't have a vet emergency room in Campina so I tried my best to make him feel better. At least he's alive and he can stand on his feet for a few moments though he's lying down almost all the time. I keep him in the hall bc I wanted to put him in the dog-kennel but beside that it's cold, Zorro doesn't leave him alone and he needs to not be bothered. I'm glad he's alive!
What nice way to spend these days! A matinee, slalom, tomorrow a lunch with your friends and then "Tristan and Isolde"! I can say I envy you, but in a positive way, of course!
Enjoy all these beautiful things, my dear Ekaterina! Hugs!
@dana. If he is poisoned, the poison have to be counteracted. Is he able to drink something ? The yogurt is effective, dana, if he is able to take it. And stay by his side and keep him warm. Taking some yogurt, he might vomit, but that's OK, bc the poison must go out.
@dana. I posted my last text without any greetings, bc I wanted to post it as soon as possible, my dear dana. I remember reading your text saying there is a person who poisons dogs. I'm not sure if Mishu met the poisoned accident or not, but I do worry about him. dana, dogs and cats can take the same medicine as we take, but only fewer, bc the medicine is used according to kg of the body, and they are much lighter than us.
@Ekaterina Thanks so much for the tip! But I'm glad he ate very little and drank a lot of water! He's sleeping now but he can't get up! I touch him to see if he has something broken but he doesn't say anything so it seems nothing hurts! I don't know what's wrong with him and why he can't stand on his feet, he's just lying but he can roll over under the blanket! I let him to sleep as much as he needs, you know sleep helps the recovery!
Thank you so much! I knew the milk is good when an animal is poisoned, but some doctors say the is wrong to give them milk for this bc the milk helps the poison to be absorbed by the stomach and this way you may rush the passing of poison in blood. It seems he's not poisoned, bc he ate!
@dana. I checked the site of dog's poisoning. Yogurt is OK, but dogs are not used to eat it. If possible, try to let Mishu drink water, if possible a lot of water. To make him drink water, put some salt on his tongue so that he takes it easily, then he becomes thirsty soon, the he can drink water. He might vomit, and it means the poison goes out. And my dear dana, don't be panic yourself, bc Mishu does not understand what happens on him. So if you become panic, he thinks it is so serious and he becomes panic. The site says: make a dog relaxed, not too cold and not too hot place. comfortable place for the dog. some fresh air is also good. and make him drink water.
@Ekaterina I wanted to give him something for pain when I took him home but I didn't know what doze of medicine to give him for his weight, he's tiny! He's like an ill kid, I'm so sorry to see him suffering!
Have a pleasant evening my dear Ekaterina! Kisses and hugs!
@Ekaterina He drank a lot of water and that he ate made me think he's not poisoned. And in the place I keep him it's not very hot but warmer than outdoor. He seems to likes to be where he is, though he's not used to stay indoor! :) I didn't panic, I talk to him and I stroke him to make him feel comfortable. I told you he's like a kid!
@dana. I'm so relieved now, my dear dana ! To tell you a truth, I was almost in a panic. .... Mishu ate, it is so good, and drank water, it is perfect. and I guess he was hitted by a car and hurt some part of his body, but not seriously. The vet will find it on Monday when you take Mushu to him.
I say again, I'm very happy that Mishu is OK, my dear dana ! Hugs !
@Ekaterina Thank you so much, my dear! Yes, there are signs that Mishu may recover! I think he needs time. I'm taking a good care of him, be sure of this! I was in panic when I found him struggling in the middle of the street! He was moving his legs like he was running but he was lying down on his right side, so his legs were in the air!!! He looks terrible, I thought he will die! I even don't want to remember! Thank God he's alive!
@dana. Sure ! Mishu is ALIVE ! yes, I think he needs some rest, bc he was in a panic before we were, and he experienced something very terrible. But I believe he has started to recover since he was found by you, dana. and he thought he was OK, bc you were with him. He loves your eys, voice, and touch. How is Zorro doing ? I think he understands what happen. I absolutely think Mishu is OK now and enjoys a pleasant sleep indoor. yes, he may need some medicine for pain, but as you see, the dose is difficult to be decided by us.
Now I'm going to take a bath. I hope you have some rest with some tea by his side, my dear dana !
@Ekaterina I fed him again! And he also drank water!!! But I found him shaking under the blanket though is pretty warm there! So I put beside him on the blanket two bottles with hot water and he seems to feel good now!
I don't think something hurts him, I pressed his every bone and he didn't yelp or whine. But I don't get why he can't stand up!
Thanks for you support! Enjoy your warm bath and have a good rest, my dear Ekaterina!
@dana. Eating & drinking is the good sign of recovery. I think dogs and cats are more patient than us, so they wouldn't show they feel pain easily. and if he yelps or whines when you press some part of his body, it means he hurt some part seriously. So I don't think he hurt seriously, but he might hurt slightly. bc I think he has a bit fever and he was shaking. Keep him warm as he likes, dana. and let him drink water and eat some food he usually eats. and let him sleep.
I don't think he broke the bone. But I think he has a bruise. Bruise is painful when you move. So the vet will give him a medicine of killing pain. Mishu will be able to stand up even tomorrrow morning, bc he is recovering right now, but may be for only a few minutes because of pain.
It's now shortly after 17:00 in Campina and the temperature is getting low, I suppose. I know it's warm inside, but Mishu may feel a bit cold, bc he has a fever. Keep him warm during night. and how do you do with his toilet, dana ? He may like to do it at the same place as usual, so you can judge the timing and hold him and take him to there, and after that you hold him again and take him inside, and keeo him warm.
Please take care of Mishu, my dear dana. and of you, both ! I have to go to bed now. Love from me & my baby sister Ekaterina to you & Mishu ! Good night.
He ate again and he seemed hungry, he hasn't peed since I found him this morning. I took him out at his place but didn't want to do anything. At least he WALKED!!!! And he climbed the 12 steps of the house, twice, In the end he got into the hall where I kept him, though he never does this even if I call him inside! I guess he feels good there! If he will do there something over the night, I'll wash the carpet... But I can't keep him outdoor. It's not very cold here, but he's injured and he needs warmth.
I'll make a hot tea for myself and I'll take some pills for fever! Thank you and your little Ekaterina! Hope everything will be fine in the morning, or at least better! Good night and sleep well, Ekaterina! Have a pleasant national holiday tomorrow and a beautiful new week! Hugs!
@Dana Very sorry to hear about your illness with the fever, Dana. Take care!!
I am a bit worried about your dog Mishu. That is a said story too.
Hope you two have a smooth recovery and feel again good very soon.
@Ekaterina Very sorry to be not able to document the races during the weekend. I regret very much, it is not possible for me to watch the races and sitting at the computer afterwards without making my partner angry. He is a spoilt "child", and furthermore he is not so much fond of ski races than I am. LOL! So I have to look for the balance, I am sure you will understand, dear Ekaterina!!
Have a quiet and restful evening/night dear Dana & Ekaterina!
Thank you so much, my dear Nicoletta! I try to take care of both of us, Mishu and myself. I think I could ask Aksel about his treatment against fever, maybe it helps me too! LOL
@dana. I'm very happy to know Mishu is doing well. I think both of you are sleeping now, and I hope you'll find both of you feel better when you wake up. and thanks for nice words for my schedule today, my dear dana ! Hugs !
@Nicoletta. kein problem ! Nicolettchen ! Believe me that I understand you ! I'm going after I post a comment in ALS. Hope you have a good new week, my dear Nicoletta ! Hugs !
I think the Bernese Oberland is still a very traditional region, beside of tourism and ski races, etc. I believe the people are nice up there, always in a good mood and not so stressy all the day long. Hope Aksel & Kjetil enjoy their way to Wengen even if it is the oldfashioned way to get there (see Kjetil's blog). LOL!
@Nicoletta. Thanks for the nice links ! Nicolettchen !
and thank you for well wishes for my holiday today ( actually yesterday ... ). yes, I completely enjoyed a lunch, Opera, and a dinner with my friends. I was back here before midnight, bc I wanted to be here as soon as possible to check how things were going on with dana and Mishu. The friends I actually meet and the friends I meet here are equally special part of my life and I love them all, my dear Nicoletta !
and back to the topic of the link, the songs are much fun, and I enjoy many pics of the beautiful landscape, the race location, people's life, and cow's life including a cute baby cow's pic ! an I also enjoy Wengen#History site. Felix mendelssohn ! ...:-))) I think Wengen is one of the legend-like ski race in not only in Switzerkand, but also in Europe. I think Aksel & Kjetil feel very refresh there, and we can expect their good race coming ! I suppose it was a bit too warm in Adelboden this year. In fact, it was warmer there than in Tokyo. It's so cold here in Tokyo these days. The wind is really cold, and not snow yet. ...
Have a beautiful afternoon, my dear Nicoletta ! Kisses & Hugs !
@dana. How are you feeling now, dana ? ... and how is Mishu today ? ... I'm afraid you did not sleep well and enough last night, so I think you need a rest today, my dear dana ! The health trouble among family is just hard, especially when it happens suddenly like yesterday. Wishing both of you, my dear dana & Mishu feels better soon ! Kisses & Hugs ! Good night !
@dana. Checking TRA, thinking about Aksel, and thinking about a fever, thinking about you, then I suddenly remembered about the things I posted in ALS. At first I thought I posted it here, bc our conversation about my strawberry put me back in my memory, dana, although the strawberry in our garden is not to eat. But I notice Aksel has not been 100% fit, so I deceided to post it in ALS, however I don't think he is interested in it. But I don't mind, bc I posted it for YOU, my dear dana ! Hope you feel much better, dana ! and hope Mishu becomes well ! Kisses & Hugs !
Thanks for the tip! I like strawberries very much but I didn't know they are good when you get cold and have fever! But I eat apples and lemon. I have to tell you that I drank a little hot tuica a few minutes ago and I think I got drunk! LOL I'm not used to drink and now I feel my feet are melting and a pleasant warmth rises up to my head! :-))) But I drank it bc it was sweet, I put pepper and honey in it. And it's good to drink a little cup when you caught a cold! LOL
I hope our Vikings will be OK very soon, maybe I should send them some hot tuica to kill the virus! Haha!
I do feel better but I still feel tired. Now I'm cooking but I don't do a big effort for this. Mishu is not 100% recovered but he's much better!
Hope you and your little sister are fine! Wish you a pleasant evening, my dear Ekaterina! Kisses and hugs!
@dana. Apple is also good, I think. and ginger. Ginger keeps you warm. But you have an asthma ? Though I'm not sure, I think I might read something like it in ALS some months ago. If not, put one teaspoonful of grated ginger in the hot tea or hot water and add some honey. I suppose you've known it, bc it's worldwide famous !
But the best thing seems to be a hot tuica added pepper and honey ! ...;-))) !
My dear dana, after you finish dinner, have a rest please. If possible, it's better going to sleep earlier tonight.
Again, I'm so happy Mishu is better and better.
Hope you have a peaceful evening and a restful night, dana ! Now I'm going to bed. My baby sister is sleeping already. ... Good night. Hugs !
@Mel. I suppose it's the 12th in the States, Mel. The time of your surgery will be informed, so let us know when you get it. Crossing our fingers for you, our dear Mel !
Regarding the Universal Sport link. I have also had some troubles with that link. Finally I could see the video.
Please be very, very patient, then I suppose you can see it too. LOL!
Use the link and do NOTHING else then waiting around 3 or 4 minutes. Just watch the footline, it should be "busy working". After this approx. 5 minutes the video starts without doing something!
@Mel I don't know if your surgery is on 12th or on 13th, but be sure I keep my fingers crossed for you, sweetie! You'll be fine soon so don't worry! Be brave, baby! Love you!
@Ekaterina I like ginger tea with honey! I don't have asthma so I can drink it without worrying! :)
@Nicoletta Nice video, I like the song and also the images! I can't see Universal Sports video! It says "The video is not loading properly. We apologize for the inconvenience." and then it says "we are not able to access your video". Do you have any idea about how can I see it?
@Corinna if you succeed to download the video, please, send it to me! I'll try again but I think it's useless!
I wonder what he landed on when he crashed...I think I've got an addiction to dangerous sports...
@Mel.
ReplyDeleteThanks ! Mel !
At last he is able to walk now !
We had the first ice early in the morning in center of Tokyo today ! It's about 3 weeks later than usual. It's been just sunny every day here, but the wind is so cold. That's the typical winter in Tokyo.
ReplyDeletesnow ? not yet... Generally speaking, it snows a lot on the side of the Sea of Japan, but it doesn't snow a lot on the side the pacific Ocean.
Hope you all enjoy your own winter, ladies !

Hope everyone is OK!

ReplyDeleteIf he is poisoned, the poison have to be counteracted. Is he able to drink something ? The yogurt is effective, dana, if he is able to take it. And stay by his side and keep him warm. Taking some yogurt, he might vomit, but that's OK, bc the poison must go out.
@dana.
ReplyDeleteI posted my last text without any greetings, bc I wanted to post it as soon as possible, my dear dana. I remember reading your text saying there is a person who poisons dogs. I'm not sure if Mishu met the poisoned accident or not, but I do worry about him. dana, dogs and cats can take the same medicine as we take, but only fewer, bc the medicine is used according to kg of the body, and they are much lighter than us.
@Ekaterina
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the tip!
But I'm glad he ate very little and drank a lot of water! He's sleeping now but he can't get up! I touch him to see if he has something broken but he doesn't say anything so it seems nothing hurts! I don't know what's wrong with him and why he can't stand on his feet, he's just lying but he can roll over under the blanket! I let him to sleep as much as he needs, you know sleep helps the recovery!
Thank you so much! I knew the milk is good when an animal is poisoned, but some doctors say the is wrong to give them milk for this bc the milk helps the poison to be absorbed by the stomach and this way you may rush the passing of poison in blood. It seems he's not poisoned, bc he ate!
@dana.
ReplyDeleteI checked the site of dog's poisoning. Yogurt is OK, but dogs are not used to eat it. If possible, try to let Mishu drink water, if possible a lot of water. To make him drink water, put some salt on his tongue so that he takes it easily, then he becomes thirsty soon, the he can drink water. He might vomit, and it means the poison goes out.
And my dear dana, don't be panic yourself, bc Mishu does not understand what happens on him. So if you become panic, he thinks it is so serious and he becomes panic.
The site says: make a dog relaxed, not too cold and not too hot place. comfortable place for the dog. some fresh air is also good. and make him drink water.
@Ekaterina
ReplyDeleteI wanted to give him something for pain when I took him home but I didn't know what doze of medicine to give him for his weight, he's tiny!
He's like an ill kid, I'm so sorry to see him suffering!
Have a pleasant evening my dear Ekaterina! Kisses and hugs!
@Ekaterina
ReplyDeleteHe drank a lot of water and that he ate made me think he's not poisoned. And in the place I keep him it's not very hot but warmer than outdoor. He seems to likes to be where he is, though he's not used to stay indoor! :)
I didn't panic, I talk to him and I stroke him to make him feel comfortable. I told you he's like a kid!
@dana.
ReplyDeleteI'm so relieved now, my dear dana ! To tell you a truth, I was almost in a panic. ....
Mishu ate, it is so good, and drank water, it is perfect. and I guess he was hitted by a car and hurt some part of his body, but not seriously. The vet will find it on Monday when you take Mushu to him.
I say again, I'm very happy that Mishu is OK, my dear dana ! Hugs !
@Ekaterina
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, my dear! Yes, there are signs that Mishu may recover! I think he needs time. I'm taking a good care of him, be sure of this!
I was in panic when I found him struggling in the middle of the street! He was moving his legs like he was running but he was lying down on his right side, so his legs were in the air!!! He looks terrible, I thought he will die! I even don't want to remember!
Thank God he's alive!
@dana.
ReplyDeleteSure ! Mishu is ALIVE !
yes, I think he needs some rest, bc he was in a panic before we were, and he experienced something very terrible. But I believe he has started to recover since he was found by you, dana. and he thought he was OK, bc you were with him. He loves your eys, voice, and touch.
How is Zorro doing ? I think he understands what happen.
I absolutely think Mishu is OK now and enjoys a pleasant sleep indoor. yes, he may need some medicine for pain, but as you see, the dose is difficult to be decided by us.
Now I'm going to take a bath. I hope you have some rest with some tea by his side, my dear dana !
@Ekaterina
ReplyDeleteI fed him again! And he also drank water!!! But I found him shaking under the blanket though is pretty warm there! So I put beside him on the blanket two bottles with hot water and he seems to feel good now!
I don't think something hurts him, I pressed his every bone and he didn't yelp or whine. But I don't get why he can't stand up!
Thanks for you support! Enjoy your warm bath and have a good rest, my dear Ekaterina!
@dana.
ReplyDeleteEating & drinking is the good sign of recovery.
I think dogs and cats are more patient than us, so they wouldn't show they feel pain easily. and if he yelps or whines when you press some part of his body, it means he hurt some part seriously. So I don't think he hurt seriously, but he might hurt slightly. bc I think he has a bit fever and he was shaking.
Keep him warm as he likes, dana. and let him drink water and eat some food he usually eats. and let him sleep.
I don't think he broke the bone. But I think he has a bruise. Bruise is painful when you move. So the vet will give him a medicine of killing pain. Mishu will be able to stand up even tomorrrow morning, bc he is recovering right now, but may be for only a few minutes because of pain.
It's now shortly after 17:00 in Campina and the temperature is getting low, I suppose. I know it's warm inside, but Mishu may feel a bit cold, bc he has a fever. Keep him warm during night.
and how do you do with his toilet, dana ? He may like to do it at the same place as usual, so you can judge the timing and hold him and take him to there, and after that you hold him again and take him inside, and keeo him warm.
Please take care of Mishu, my dear dana. and of you, both ! I have to go to bed now.
Love from me & my baby sister Ekaterina to you & Mishu !
Good night.
@ Ekaterina
ReplyDeleteHe ate again and he seemed hungry, he hasn't peed since I found him this morning. I took him out at his place but didn't want to do anything. At least he WALKED!!!! And he climbed the 12 steps of the house, twice, In the end he got into the hall where I kept him, though he never does this even if I call him inside!
I guess he feels good there! If he will do there something over the night, I'll wash the carpet... But I can't keep him outdoor. It's not very cold here, but he's injured and he needs warmth.
I'll make a hot tea for myself and I'll take some pills for fever!
Thank you and your little Ekaterina! Hope everything will be fine in the morning, or at least better!
Good night and sleep well, Ekaterina! Have a pleasant national holiday tomorrow and a beautiful new week! Hugs!
@Dana
ReplyDeleteVery sorry to hear about your illness with the fever, Dana. Take care!!
I am a bit worried about your dog Mishu. That is a said story too.
Hope you two have a smooth recovery and feel again good very soon.
@Ekaterina
Very sorry to be not able to document the races during the weekend.
I regret very much, it is not possible for me to watch the races and sitting at the computer afterwards without making my partner angry. He is a spoilt "child", and furthermore he is not so much fond of ski races than I am. LOL!
So I have to look for the balance, I am sure you will understand, dear Ekaterina!!
Have a quiet and restful evening/night dear Dana & Ekaterina!
@Nicoletta
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, my dear Nicoletta! I try to take care of both of us, Mishu and myself.
I think I could ask Aksel about his treatment against fever, maybe it helps me too! LOL
Hope you are fine!
Wish you a pleasant evening! Hugs!
@dana.
ReplyDeleteI'm very happy to know Mishu is doing well. I think both of you are sleeping now, and I hope you'll find both of you feel better when you wake up.
and thanks for nice words for my schedule today, my dear dana ! Hugs !
@Nicoletta.
kein problem ! Nicolettchen !
Believe me that I understand you !
I'm going after I post a comment in ALS.
Hope you have a good new week, my dear Nicoletta ! Hugs !
@Ekaterina
ReplyDeleteWish you a beautiful National day, Ekaterina!!
I am sure with your activities you will have a lot of fun today!
I posted this song from Adelboden, Berner Oberland on Aksel's blog too. Maybe you like it!

Have a good week, Ektaterina. Hugs & Kisses!
@Dana
ReplyDeleteHope very much you fell better today!! That you go already to work worries me a bit.
Hope everything is ok also with Mishu!
All the best, Dana!! Hugs & Kisses!
Hi Girls
ReplyDeleteHere I found a wiki info about tourism in Wengen and the first ski races there:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wengen#History
I think the Bernese Oberland is still a very traditional region, beside of tourism and ski races, etc.
ReplyDeleteI believe the people are nice up there, always in a good mood and not so stressy all the day long. Hope Aksel & Kjetil enjoy their way to Wengen even if it is the oldfashioned way to get there (see Kjetil's blog). LOL!
Have a nice day!!
@Nicoletta.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the nice links ! Nicolettchen !
and thank you for well wishes for my holiday today ( actually yesterday ... ). yes, I completely enjoyed a lunch, Opera, and a dinner with my friends. I was back here before midnight, bc I wanted to be here as soon as possible to check how things were going on with dana and Mishu. The friends I actually meet and the friends I meet here are equally special part of my life and I love them all, my dear Nicoletta !
and back to the topic of the link, the songs are much fun, and I enjoy many pics of the beautiful landscape, the race location, people's life, and cow's life including a cute baby cow's pic ! an I also enjoy Wengen#History site. Felix mendelssohn ! ...:-)))
I think Wengen is one of the legend-like ski race in not only in Switzerkand, but also in Europe. I think Aksel & Kjetil feel very refresh there, and we can expect their good race coming ! I suppose it was a bit too warm in Adelboden this year. In fact, it was warmer there than in Tokyo. It's so cold here in Tokyo these days. The wind is really cold, and not snow yet. ...
Have a beautiful afternoon, my dear Nicoletta ! Kisses & Hugs !
@dana.
ReplyDeleteHow are you feeling now, dana ? ... and how is Mishu today ? ...
I'm afraid you did not sleep well and enough last night, so I think you need a rest today, my dear dana ! The health trouble among family is just hard, especially when it happens suddenly like yesterday.
Wishing both of you, my dear dana & Mishu feels better soon ! Kisses & Hugs ! Good night !
@Nicoletta.
ReplyDeleteAbout how much is 69 CHF in Euro ? I'm blind !
@Ekaterina
ReplyDeleteIt is approx. 56 Euro.
Have a beautiful afternoon, Ekaterina.
Aksel is going to train today. He starts with bib no. 7!
ReplyDeletehttp://www.fis-ski.com/uk/disciplines/live-timing/alpineskiing.html
Have fun, ladies!!
@Nicoletta.
ReplyDeleteThanks ! Nicoletta !
Hope you enjoy a lovely morning, Nicolettchen !
Hello girls!
ReplyDeleteI'm alive!! :))
Mishu and me feel better today! Thanks for your concern!
Wish you all a beautiful day! Love and hugs!
@dana.
ReplyDeleteGreat ! dana !
Have a rest, my dear dana. Take your time !!!
@dana.
ReplyDeleteChecking TRA, thinking about Aksel, and thinking about a fever, thinking about you, then I suddenly remembered about the things I posted in ALS. At first I thought I posted it here, bc our conversation about my strawberry put me back in my memory, dana, although the strawberry in our garden is not to eat.
But I notice Aksel has not been 100% fit, so I deceided to post it in ALS, however I don't think he is interested in it. But I don't mind, bc I posted it for YOU, my dear dana !
Hope you feel much better, dana ! and hope Mishu becomes well ! Kisses & Hugs !
@Ekaterina
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip! I like strawberries very much but I didn't know they are good when you get cold and have fever! But I eat apples and lemon.
I have to tell you that I drank a little hot tuica a few minutes ago and I think I got drunk! LOL I'm not used to drink and now I feel my feet are melting and a pleasant warmth rises up to my head! :-))) But I drank it bc it was sweet, I put pepper and honey in it. And it's good to drink a little cup when you caught a cold! LOL
I hope our Vikings will be OK very soon, maybe I should send them some hot tuica to kill the virus! Haha!
I do feel better but I still feel tired. Now I'm cooking but I don't do a big effort for this.
Mishu is not 100% recovered but he's much better!
Hope you and your little sister are fine! Wish you a pleasant evening, my dear Ekaterina! Kisses and hugs!
@dana.
ReplyDeleteApple is also good, I think. and ginger. Ginger keeps you warm. But you have an asthma ? Though I'm not sure, I think I might read something like it in ALS some months ago.
If not, put one teaspoonful of grated ginger in the hot tea or hot water and add some honey.
I suppose you've known it, bc it's worldwide famous !
But the best thing seems to be a hot tuica added pepper and honey ! ...;-))) !
My dear dana, after you finish dinner, have a rest please. If possible, it's better going to sleep earlier tonight.
Again, I'm so happy Mishu is better and better.
Hope you have a peaceful evening and a restful night, dana !
Now I'm going to bed. My baby sister is sleeping already. ... Good night. Hugs !
@Mel.
ReplyDeleteI suppose it's the 12th in the States, Mel.
The time of your surgery will be informed, so let us know when you get it.
Crossing our fingers for you, our dear Mel !
@all can maybe someone download the universal interview and post it here?
ReplyDeletehttp://www.universalsports.com/video/assetid=25f86936-fa03-4038-87c7-40e7726010d5.html
i can watch it, but can´t download it, and if someone can download it then we all can watch it!
@mel today is your surgery right? i cross my fingers for you!
@Corinna
ReplyDeleteRegarding the Universal Sport link. I have also had some troubles with that link. Finally I could see the video.
Please be very, very patient, then I suppose you can see it too. LOL!
Use the link and do NOTHING else then waiting around 3 or 4 minutes. Just watch the footline, it should be "busy working". After this approx. 5 minutes the video starts without doing something!
Hopefully it works for you and the other girls!!!
@Mel
ReplyDeleteWish you good luck for your surgery and a smooth recovery, Mel!!!
It think it is time to give you a special song on your way, I hope you like it, it is another Swiss folk song.
The video is about the new Wrestling king Kilian Wenger, he is from the Bernese Oberland too.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3zHRs2cSUpY&feature=related
All the best, Mel!!
Hei girls!
ReplyDelete@Mel I don't know if your surgery is on 12th or on 13th, but be sure I keep my fingers crossed for you, sweetie! You'll be fine soon so don't worry! Be brave, baby! Love you!
@Ekaterina I like ginger tea with honey! I don't have asthma so I can drink it without worrying! :)
@Nicoletta Nice video, I like the song and also the images!
I can't see Universal Sports video! It says "The video is not loading properly. We apologize for the inconvenience." and then it says "we are not able to access your video".
Do you have any idea about how can I see it?
@Corinna if you succeed to download the video, please, send it to me! I'll try again but I think it's useless!
Have a beautiful day, my friends! Hugs!

No idea about the video. But you do not miss great things. There are much better ones.
@Nicoletta
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for Hans and Jon's pictures! Beautiful indeed! And funny some of them!:)
Have a nice evening! Hugs!
