Remember what happened last year in May/June weatherwise? Don't feel guilt yet - US almost always has proper hot summers, N-S E-W (not sure about San Francisco though)

Given the ZH winter, part of last-year's tan got a Christmas booster

I got a bit burned just by being out and about on Sunday.

There were even people sunbathing at the Werdinsel by the Limmat in Zurich - although not swimming. Definitely not warm enough for that yet!

The bin men and the street cleaners are out

It looks as if the smog that has been hanging over France and the UK is heading East over Switzerland!

Think we missed the smog and got the rain instead.

Honestly, I am really *issed off for you all hard working people- sincerely. After weeks of wall to wall sunshine- the weather has changed to grey, cold and rainy just in time for the long Easter week-end. Not fair- and I do commiserate sincerely. Enjoy all the same.

Yeah. You can all appreciate my tan line!

One of the first jokes I learned here, from my Swiss neighbor:

What do you call two days of solid rain, sandwiched in between five days of sunshine?

- The weekend.



(Adjust as necessary to include holidays. )


Frohe Ostern, one and all.

The weather can do what it likes. The wood is smouldering away in the stove, I'm still in my jimjams and I've a cupboard full of whisky.

What more could anyone ask for?

Doesn't it leak?

Fortunately not, but I've got a terrible evaporation problem...

Quite happy we are having a spot of rain, good for the garden.

Yeah, we really do need the rain (or rather, the plants do).

But I feel so bad for all these people who work all week during the beautiful weather. Then comes the holiday, and it's gray, wet and cold.

Boring, boring, boring...

Phone sex, anyone?

So old fashioned, all done on Skype these days.

The Angel's share - watching the film now (Ken Loach) due to bad weather Brilliant film btw but had forgotten how difficult Glaswegian is to understand and not just for us furiners- OH is a Brit and he can't understand either...

Having had to deal with with the many various and very different Swiss dialects Glaswegian now sounds like received pronunciation to me.

Just looked out the window and...


It's frickin' snowing!




(Runs out to stick candle lanterns in the cold frames...)

Same here, also SZ @900m. Normal Easter weather.

I am in Kreuzlingen today and it is also f.... Snowing. I was just putting my coat on to walk the dogs but they will have to wait a while

April April macht was er will. As my work colleague always puts it.
