Sunny weekend, weehee..I got to work, though. How unfair.
Don't forget to stock up on sun protection, people, it's evil, where is the freckle thread..

Hang on its Not finished yet we finished Building our House last August gardener only finished last Week because of the weather. Building the Big Trampoline Today for the Garden Table Tennis needs to Be Set up basket Ball Net needs to go up then finally a Big swimming Pool ( at the Side of the House which is Not in the Picture)
After reading that, I feel like I've just got off a mad roller coaster ride. I had to press the "." key on my keyboard to make it stop. (I should've taken advantage of the one and only "." I could find in that post before I flew past it into another loop-the-loop of upper and lower case letters.)

Re: Drop Dead Beautiful

Todays walk up the Poetta Raisse Dale/Gorge was just wonderful. Dappled shade, bird song, wildflowers everywhere, a few deer- then lots of water rushing through waterfalls - couldn't wish for better

no offense meant by my comment.. I'm just a flowers and plants kinda guy.

We bought a very old Vicarage, just so we can create a typical 'curate's' garden as we call it in French, or a cottage garden in UK English. A riot of flowers à la English - not pristine lawn in sight, lol. love it.

Re: Drop Dead Beautiful

Lovely pic.
You've made me super excited about returning to Zug after 4 months away.
Looks like I timed it well.
Bring on the sunshine.

The lake is hazy, still pretty, though.

Re: Drop Dead Beautiful

It's going to get up to 27C in the Innerschweiz today. There's an amazingly strong warm wind drying everything out but also letting us know the weather is ready for a change again.

Now where did I put my bikini?

There's a bit of knowledge given from mothers to daughters in Switzerland: Don't clean your windows till the Sahara sands have come and the bursts of pollen have finished.
And this morning's sun is showing all the spots on the windows. So I cleaned one. Now I'm going to enjoy the sunshine (with lots of sunscreen).

Re: Drop Dead Beautiful

Noooooooo don't talk about cleaning windows! A hobby falcon came and swooped right by our bedroom window yesterday to try and catch a sparrow feeding on our bird feeder - and in the excitement left the window covered with poo! So that will be the priority for this week - rest can wait a bit.

It's very warm up here, and starting to turn grey - I can feel a storm brewing up.


MusicChick 'WERK' ??? I didn't know you were a scouser, lol

Re: Drop Dead Beautiful

Windows...?

God. Does a fear of heights excuse one from having appallingly dirty windows? Can I spray sumfin on it and let the rain clean it? I am scared to lean out.

All our windows open inwards, so cleaning them is a lot easier than in the UK! But we have a ....lot of windows!

Can we pick their clothes?
There are pro mountain climbers (fit) who will clean people's inaccessible windows back home.

You know in French here thongs mean flip fops? Hahahah...

Anyways. My windows open inward too, but I still have to lean up to clean the nasty bird poop on the shutters..Love the shutters, but cleaning it is annoying. I think they are actually supposed to be cleaned by the regie, something tells me, heh, since they organizing it once every few years.

23deg here, time to sweat in the kitchen.
