It’s a stunning day, and I have no jobs to do so up the hill I go.
Ran into Val at Scheidegg. Lunch break for the workers. She has worked her magic with her morning group and they’ve left the nursery slope and have been cruising around Arven.
Pretty soon the afternoon classes arrive so it’s back to work for Val and more skiing for me.
Val was working all day today, and I went down to Wilderswil to buy a new microwave to replace the old battered one that we scrounged before Christmas. The sun was shining when I left Wengen but down in the valley it was foggy and cold. Freezing waiting for the bus.
We were second in the quiz last night, so improving. Duo Centrale will be playing at the Sunstar later so we’ll be off out to see them.
Val was off up to Scheidegg at 8 this morning to teach. It’s the busiest week of the season. After work we went for a few drinks with Erin and Michael at the Figeller bar on the nursery slope.
The weather’s perfect and the village is looking fantastic.
Aliena had a birthday a few days ago. She likes her new earrings.
Larina learned to take selfies.
Jim brought some children’s plasters. Larina insisted on wearing a couple.
Quiz tonight. We were soundly beaten into third place last week so we need to up our game.
The weather’s supposed to be nice today, so we head up to Scheidegg. When we arrive it’s cold, foggy and snowing. We have a coffee and the weather gets worse, so after a quick lap of Arven we head home.
The furniture that arrived yesterday needs to be built. First up is something the Germans call a commode. Here it is.
Wardrobe tomorrow.
We collected our furniture from the station this morning. In the village it’s cold and dark. Popped up to Männlichen to have a look and we emerged from the cloud into glorious sunshine.
The top of the cloud is about 1700 metres, which meant the last kilometre of the run down to Holenstein was basically in the dark, but hey ho.
Incredible views.
And a few beers for apres ski.
It’s been another foggy, snowy day. The snow has been falling almost continuously since the weekend. Anyhow we popped down to Interlaken and got some shopping and had lunch at the new youth hostel by the station.
On days like this Rudi often pops in when I open the balcony door.
Ski school put on a show at this time of the year. It’s basically an advert but everyone comes to see it anyway. Fireworks are compulsory.
Formation skiing down the nursery slope.
And of course some jumping.
Val has found herself a job. On the face of it she’s teaching people to ski, but an important part of the role seems to be carrying advertising.
