My Sunday Photo... Neesie Nattering in the hot tub


 I love this photo of my daughter and I having a good natter whilst sipping champers in the hot tub. We're amongst some of the best winter scenery I've ever seen. 
A winter wonderland
It's been quite a week...
 I've had to add yet another year onto my milometer, even though I'd like to fix it so that the numbers go in reverse.  Unfortately that's a skill that I've yet to master. 
I'm sure that if I do actually manage it one day, then I'll be very popular and my skills will be in demand. 
But for now, I'll have to be content with a new skill that I've perfected in recent weeks... and that is the art of getting dressed and undressed in multi-layers all at once in one swift movement! 
Since we've been experiencing winter temperatures of - 4 and 5 degrees Celcius 
(ha... I hear you laugh in Canada)
I need thermals and lots of layers... multi-layers in fact... so to save time and to keep my exposure to the chilly air to the minimum, I now can put all the layers on at once!
I know... I'm quite proud of myself.
It's like being able to take off your bra without taking your top off first.
You know what I mean ladies, but I know any guy reading this will be totally mystified... but then that's females for you.
(Don't try to understand us... trust me you'll never do it!)
I have to admit that this all sounds a little drastic but for someone who doesn't like to be in temperatures below 16 degress... it's a must! 
Which reminds me of someone else that isn't a great fan of the cold weather...

 I've been taking lots of photos of all the wintery scenes (nothing new there) and posting them on instagram.
You'll be able to see some of them on my sidebar on the right of this post.

By the way the news on my laptop isn't good.
Well I suppose it would help if I actually took it into the repair shop for starters! (Gasp)
See I told you it's been one hellova week.

I'm off to snoozeyland now because tomorrow I need my wits about me as I'm taking part in the British Garden Bird Count. If last years count is anything to go by then I'll be in for a stressed and hectic time trying to count all of my visitors to the bird feeders! 
I'll let you know how I get on and I've already started to take the most regular visitors photographs to complete a visual collage. 
Wish me luck

Have a great Sunday

    1. It is a fantastic location Hannah... it's in Canada in a little place called Morin Heights which is about 30/45 minutes drive out of Montreal.
      It was the best snow I've ever seen!
      Have a great Sunday and thanks for stopping by ;D

  2. Fantastic photo, I love our hot tub when it's cold, though sadly we never get snow to try out a photo like this. It does look magical.

    1. It was indeed a magical time with fantastic snow and clear crisp blue sky.
      Thanks for visiting once again. I hope you have a great Sunday and I'll pop over to your place soon ;D

    1. So do I Laurie, it's gorgeous but you have to be quick once you decide to get out!
      I've just finished the bird count but haven't compared my numbers with last year yet. I certainly have an incredible amount of visitors. I think I counted 17 different kinds of birds and for the first time I have four robins sighted all at once!
      That's quite a number because they're very territorial. There was a little argybargy which is totally uncalled for because there's lots of food.
      It's not too cold here today but I'm not prepared to lose some of my layers... that won't happen until at least June probably ;D
      Have a sensational Sunday and I'll visit soon.
      Keep cosy xoxo

  6. Where is that hot-tub!? What a wonderful way to enjoy the frosty weather, but I am surprised you don't have a jumper on too, lol. I too have learnt the art of multi layer dressing and I'm teaching Wee Man as well. His vest, t-shirt and jumper are already, one inside the other, for swift dressing in the morning, lol. Have a good Sunday and 'watch the birdie!' lol xoxo

    1. It's at the photo on my sidebar of this blog Mo ;D
      As you've probably guessed we haven't had that much snow here... only little flurries so far. It's in Canada and even though the temperatures are so low there I don't tend to feel as cold there. It's a total mystery!
      Hehe... you certainly sound like you've got the layer dressing down to perfection and it's great that you're passing the skill on to Wee Man.
      He'll think he's so clever when he masters the art... it's brilliant.
      I've finished the bird watching and but have yet to compare the numbers with last year. All I know is that we have masses of them visiting and it cost quite a far bit for all the seeds and different feeds I put out. Today they had cheese and dried fruit added to the menu. There's some very happy birds here!
      Enjoy your Sunday xoxo

  7. a great photo neesie. such a warm feeling of affection there between you both. and i love the frosty background. happy birthday by the way. oh and I am doing a backyard bird bath survey here this week so i will be watching avidly to see who is swimming and drinking in my bath - so to speak!

    1. Now I look again at the photo I can see what you mean about the affection showing... which isn't surprising as I'd say we were also best friends too. I think the feelings mutual ;D
      Thanks for the birthday wishes... I had a great day and was spoilt wonderfully.
      I've just finished my bird watch and at times it was rather difficult to keep count... we are a very popular venue. Obviously our menu is set at the right level of goodies.
      Have you tried placing a little seed around the rim of the bird bath. I sometimes spread some around my bath and they seem to like it. It might actually attract more birdies in for your count. Good luck anyway.
      Have a great Sunday

  8. Is that really you two in the hot tub? What fun, but I bet you screamed when you got out and felt the cold air hit you. Champers in the hot tub in the snow sounds idyllic.

    1. It is indeed Terra, and it was lots of fun and so deliciously relaxing after a days skiing and snow activities.
      I don't remember screaming when I finally emerged as a wrinkly prune because quite possibly I stopped breathing until I got indoors!
      It's certainly very idyllic and one of my favourite places on the planet!
      I hope you have perfect Sunday with or without a hot tub.
      Enjoy

    1. Oh Sarah it's one of the most idyllic and beautiful scenery that I've ever seen and I've seen quite a few places on my expat travels.
      I'm impressed with myself and my new dressing skills (hehe) but I'll be glad when I don't have to wear so many layers... roll on spring!
      Have fun and enjoy your Sunday

    1. Ahh but it was beautifully hot. If you submerged up to your neck it was perfect.
      Obviously you need someone on hand to nip in and out with the refreshments (lol) ;D

    1. The snow was the best I've ever seen Louise,
      To relax in such surrounding whilst being beautifully warm and sipping a glass of bubbly was a true treat.
