More snow

Stella has experienced something new, something she is not made for:

Snow and darkness...

The Christmas has started. Shops are open until very late every day. The commercial pressure is really forcing the shop assistants to work late. If a shop decides to close early, it looses out. I spoke with an employee at a sports shop yesterday. They specialise in winter equipment, and are obliged to stay open Easter eve. Every potential customer they have are skiing in the mountains, not buying skies in a city shop! Stupid.
