Last friday, today, tomorrow.
Has to be getting towards a record year for the alps.
And the conditions are exceptional, usable snow (still a meter deep) down to 1200 in france. That is almost unknown even mid season, let alone at the end.

And only within viewing distance of the alps, we run around without jackets and with blue skies today.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

This morning was beautiful, blue sky, sun, warm, no wind. Then 1 o'clock, the sky went grey, thunder and lightening, and snow chucking it down. DOnt thin I have ever seen so much snow when skiing.

Have you invented a language of your own
The first three words seem like Dutch "Je moet het" but then ???
|

Sounds Dutch to me!
Spracheveranderen mischien?
(Sure that is Dutch for translate, perhaps it is Flemish. )
|
|
|
|
|
Possibly Double Dutch[^]?

Which means simple Dutch was somewhat comprehensible to the inhabitants of the east of England when that phrase was coined.
|

|
To gullable Americans maybe, but we Europeans see through that

Maar ik ben Engels.

|

That's correct (in some way I guess)
|
|
|
|
|
Ah, vertalen! (Had to look it up)
But you have to admit a lot of latin words were absorbed into Dutch in the form I used for 'translate'. No? Or am I just imagining things....

With my mates in Flanders we used to call it 'Nederlish', pretty sure I have mentioned that, but the languages do mix well.
|

Well for me Flemish is easy to understand, but for "Hollanders" it seems to be incomprehensible.
There are exceptions of course, the Ghent dialect is difficult even for me, I think that dialect was caused by the noose that Charles the Great made them wear
|
|
|
|
|
Even the flemish say other flemish accents are incomprehensible.
Generally its an accent quite close to English.
Take genough, the g becomes softer in Flemish than Dutch, and the last g becomes silent in Ost flaams, much like the English enough.

but what would a Dutchman know about alps?
Tallest hill in Holland 322.4 meters (according to wikipedia).
(and probably because many would want to challenge themselves to scary heights that .4m would be worn away by now.)

No I mustn't... I really mustn't... it's too difficult to resist... but it's the lounge, so I mustn't...
Sounds like global warming and climate change to me

I just got this mental picture of you standing out front of your mountain villa in the Alps singing "Yo de lay hee hoo".

Is terminal velocity how fast you can run when late for your flight?

Ahh --- another chance for me to carry on about linguistic abuse! Aloft at this, at first, but decided it wasn't really funny, but rather was taxiing my patience.
