How Cool is This?

Followed the routine this morning.  Walk through snow to get Brotchen.  Fruhstuck with meine schone Frau.  Walk Annika to the train followed by a walk through Luitpold Park.

Having grown up in Western Australia I am overwhelmed by how beautiful snow can make things.  Walking through the park this morning was wonderful.  Still and silent, the snow muffling so much of the city noise.  People were out walking their dogs, running, cycling and there was even an old boy skiing on our local piste.  I spent ages walking through the park enjoying the winter wonderland.  The photo on the right is of one of our local restaurants situated in the park.  We will try it soon and if acceptable it will be a mainstay for any visitors.

As an aside;  There is nothing funnier than a small dog in abject misery.  The other day we saw a lady walking her Chihuahuas through the snow.  The poor little mongrel couldn't decide which of it's paws was coldest and it kept doing this little Chihuahua jig as it was dragged along.  Which makes you wonder about the thought process of some dog owners.  It probably goes along the lines of.  

"I think I will buy a dog for companionship.  I wonder what breed I should get.  I live in an apartment in Munich where it very cold for half of the year.  I know.  I'll buy a chihauhau." or

"I think I will buy a dog because a dog could make me look cool.  I wonder what breed I should get.  I live in an apartment in Darwin where it very hot for half of the year and hot and humid for the other half.  I know.  I'll buy a Sled dog." or

 "I think I will buy a dog for companionship.  I wonder what breed I should get.  I live in a single room apartment in the city.  I know.  I'll buy a cattle dog."
