Weekend Pics

As you all know, last Friday we stayed in the cabin while it was -15'C outside. MIL and FIL both asked us if we were serious, since it was that cold hi hi hi...Remember that the cabin only has an outside toilet, so if we want to pee, we have to go outside first. Oh yeah, almost forgot...the neighbour has cleared the way to the cabin from snow - so THANK YOU SO MUCH, neighbour!!!

That means we could go there with our car and we didn't have to go there on foot hi hi...when we arrived there, I realized that the way to the outside toilet was thick with snow, so in the end I had to (sorry) do my thing out in the open air. Well, the place is far away from the street and it was SO dark outside, so I was safe hi hi hi hi...The only problem was my cold butt HA HA HA HA HA HA...

Anyway, here are some pics I took:

1st pic: the fireplace where we could "roast" our sausages...yummy...


2nd pic: R2 roasting some sausages while I posed. Rock 'n Roll YEEEAAAHHHH!!!! ;-D


3rd pic: No comment HA HA HA HA HA...


4th pic: Saturday morning as we were going back to my MIL's place, he had to scrape out the layer of ice/snow from the car windows. If the temperature is low (below 0'C), he has to do this EVERY MORNING before we go to work.


5th pic: Look at the layer of snow in front of me. The way to the toilet is to the right side of this pic and there's as much snow. That was why I couldn't pee there hi hi...


And here are some pics around my MIL's and FIL's place.


This below pic is taken from behind their sauna, so it shows the path leading to the cabin and frozen lake.


This below pic is taken from the street in front of my MIL's and FIL's place since I had to get the newspaper from their mailbox right next to the street. So the house is quite a distance away from the street. And the cabin is at the end of the path.




Last pic: Behind me is MIL's "semi-underground" storage house or whatever you call it he he...

  2. Hahahaha :) Amel you're so funny i laughed a lot this post.!!!
    In winter in some villages of Turkey it happens the same to people.. Some village houses have their toilets outside and there's even no electricity in any of them. And when people try to pee, they can't because they're afraid that their pee's gonna freeze :)
    By the way, i wanna emphasize that you are a great couple as far as i see from photos and your smile reflects your happiness with R2!

    Kisses..
