Well, while we were sitting in the office it would appear that Felix was letting the rest of the team have fun. Unscheduled fun actually.
Meanwhile it’s also been pretty in town…
Whilst Nicol and I both decided that skiing on Friday in the rain was a great idea, Rich and Gina decided to go up on Saturday. OK there were plenty more humans up there but there was also a reason for this – it was sunny and beautiful. As you can see (morally, of course, Nicol and I still win because we got up there first , despite being a little soggier).
The time had to come eventually. Kent has decided that he will accompany me to the Ski Show this week. I am not sure if I should be scared or grateful. I mean I could use the help, there is only one of me and a whole load of people to talk to (business..!!). But considering that he hasn’t set foot in the UK for a number of years I am a little concerned that he may have something else on his mind.
Well, we’ll soon find out. What this space for photos and comments…! It should be fun…T
I might have mentioned before the Swiss propensity to celebrate things with cheese and alcohol, and on 26 September 1993 they voted to have another one. Swiss National Day. So every year on 1st August. That’s how it works here – you just ask everyone if they want another bank holiday and, amazingly, everyone said yes…
Now, despite the fact that the weather went from stunning blue skies to cloudy to rumbles of thunder to complete monsoon, the Swiss didn’t let that stop them from having a proper party. And a parade. And – as is the custom here – a full marching brass band.
So we went and helped them out – fortuitously taking cover underneath the canopy of The Pub Mont Fort’s bar. And despite the weather it all went rather well and looked a bit like this…

They even seem to enjoy it: Finally a load of local kids with lanterns swim past:
