Good morning! I reached out to some old friends back in Greece and they cheered me up :) turns out everyone is pretty much feeling like shit but we’ve normalized putting on a brave face on social media.

Good morning @orestis!

Winter weekend mornings can be hard with small kids. They don’t care, they wake up when they feel like it, and they need someone to take care of them.

And just to do what we should not. This is how wonderful life can be. I spent the morning ski touring up our local ski hill before it’s opened. I’ll be back in time to eat breakfast with the family. Make sure you do something you enjoy today!

I’m a transplant to the north so the friluftsliv doesn’t come so natural 😅 - but I think I would be happier in a snowy place. I’ve skied twice in my life, it was fun!

I’m actually teaching myself piano in the evenings. I love how time slips away!

Yeah, and Denmark is not a great place for skiing. But I think having something else to focus on (like piano) and look forward to is super important.

I would be happier in a place where it never snows, for sure. Like Greece! I would love to live in Greece.

good morning

Me too @pez, me too! But weather isn’t everything :(

Btw, it does rain and snow in Greece! It’s a very diverse country with lots of mountains. There’s even a few ski resorts...

I think I wouldn’t move to a ski resort in Greece. 😃

It’s pretty beautiful ☺️

I wish I could go skiing/snowboarding.

It's one of my little pleasures in life.

Well, now I’m just jealous. So-called “halcyon days” in Greece https://www.almanac.com/fact/halcyon-days-begin-the-halcyon-days-also-holiday

About winter solstice, here's a fun little puzzle my family sent me some days ago: Up to the Winter Solstice, days were shortening (fewer hours of daylight every day), and yet the Sun was setting later and later. How come?
