It was -6 degrees C this morning when I went out, which is indeed pretty chilly. I had a 9am appointment at the hairdressers, the only one i could get. I think people are getting worried that they will close the hairdressers again.
It was about that temperature yesterday morning as well, when I decided to do my once a week walk to the office. It is part of my January resolutions. It takes 50 minutes along the river and up past the motorway, but it is good exercise. I want to try and lose some weight, yet still be able to eat chocolate. I read that the reason most resolutions fail is because we are creatures of habit, and so it is necessary to link each resolution to a change of habit. So hence the walk to the office once a week. The first time i tried that, i also walked back, but it was very dark, so I decided the river way was too risky, so took the back roads. That turned out to be even more dangerous, as there were no pavements. So last night, i instead walked part of the way to the railway station, about 30 minutes walk, along lit pathways. It was much safer.

My other resolution is to grow my nails to a decent length. To achieve this, I decided I needed to know why they were weak, and so with the help of the internet, I discovered that taking Biotin every day should make them stronger. So I bought a packet of 30 tabs, and I have to say, it seems to be working. We are a week in, and my nails are already much stronger, and therefore not prone to breaking or tearing. I also feel that my eyelashes are getting fuller, and my hair is getting thicker. Hence the trip to the hairdressers this morning.
I have discovered an online source in Germany where I can get a years supply of Biotin tablets for half the price I paid here for 30, so I have ordered them. It seems in Switzerland we always end up paying way more for medications and vitamins than anywhere else.
Stay warm, stay healthy
Beautiful crisp view in your photo.
