Feeling low....I would love to hear your cheering-up ideas
Ladies this does not include shopping therapy in Paris with funds available of 5 thousand euros.
But it can include a session of reflexology or head and shoulder masaage....OR both.
Gets us away from friction about diction and such.

Get out for a blast on the bike, clears the head, lungs and fills the body with all those aftersport natural drugs! plus it's the only time I feel completely free from work, kids etc!

Sounds positive.
With or without snow?

without snow as long as we stay in the valleys - it didn't get this far east but we were down to -12 again this morning and I don't know if I can face another training ride in -4 again on Saturday so perhaps I should add that 90% of the time that's my way of cheering myself up but there is an element I can't control - the weather !

Ignore the bike, too much like hard work. Get some decent walking boots and good hiking socks, matching fleeces and so on and go walking. Take a nice long staff or stick and occasionally whack seven bells out of everything that gets you down by thrashing the staff about in the air, express yourself verbally, which includes hard core swearing and obscenities of your own choice if you are alone. Do not forget to take in the beauty of your surroundings to rebalance. After a good walk and whatever you drink (hot choccy for me, made from real dark chocolate but with cream added, to hell with the cholesterol, calories, etc), sit back in a very comfortable chair and smile.

Oh yes, similar to Valerie of course for the greater part, but I forgot that after the drink, chair and smile a very bubbly bath (cannot wait to get to putting a tub in this house, my kids have already petitioned me for one), although I recco port rather than wine because it seems to go better with a bath (don't ask why) but do not forget the relaxing music...

I'm ignoring the bike since last saturday's ride; no matter what specialist winter cycling gear I put on it's just impossibly cold, (a mate even had battery warmed gloves and heated inserts in his shoes - I was extremely jealous!) I'll be doing a little work on the turbo trainer in the garage later (perhaps) and will see if next saturday is any warmer (doesn't look like it at the moment) but failing that the idea of a good walk is hard to beat. But it has to be a shower afterwards and I'll replace the port with a good banyuls ;-)

You mean cycling!! I like getting out on the motorbike, the off-road enduro is excellent fun in this weather ;) Blatting over the snow :) Feels great.

sounds good, you've got a few more hp than me on my racing bike though!

Cheap and cheerful - a good old hike through the snow, nicely bundled up against any cold wind of course, to get the heart racing while admiring the beautiful landscape then luxuriate in a steaming, foam filled bath with a glass of wine - you'll have earned it after all that speed walking.

make sure that you have watertight wellies on and not the diamond studed stlletoes
which you wear for weddings.

Hat,coat, gloves and a long walk with the dog if you have one, if not just you. Take a look about, spring is just around the corner, the promise of longer days with the sun on your face. On your return one large mug of hot chocolate by the fire. Never fails to cheer my heart and soul.
