Greetings from Tyrol. Skiing is going well, for me at least because my wife is still not recovered from a flu that knocked 3kg in a day of off her last week. (The same one I had three weeks ago.) Her recovery seemed good, but then she backslid and she has ups and downs ever since. Seems to be part of this flu because I heard multiple colleagues with the same wobbly recovery process. She’s doing better now but remains low in energy…maybe there’s a small bit of skiing for her on our last day tomorrow, if only to have tried it. It feels unfair, I’m a casual skier who’s content after a day or two, while she’d been looking forward to it a lot.

At least our apartment’s really nice. It even has a 4-person private sauna which I’ve made good use of every day we’ve been here.

In general I’m really happy about this break, it wasn’t that I was craving it but the mountains, skiing, family time and getting away from most news for a while feels very nice.

p.s. if y’all could help a European out and help maintain NATO, that’d be nice.
