Unfortunately, the sun didn't really make an appearance over the weekend.
So we were at work yesterday, and today we took a little stroll through Zittau South, our old neighborhood.

Since I was already out, I took my dear wife's car to the pharmacy so she could get home faster this evening. The extra 2 km walk didn't matter much at that point. I was in good shape!

I haven't been moving nearly enough these past few days, falling far short of my step goal.
So, before heading to the theater today to see "Lepanto in Zittau," I needed to get in some exercise.

The view from the window to the southwest promised quite good visibility, and the upper reaches of the mountains were beautifully frosted.
We've already climbed Lausche and Hochwald this year, so Töpfer was on the agenda today. It was a bit icy and slippery in places, but we could leave our crampons in
