Wolf on the loose?

It snowed again last night, and it’s cold – minus 8 at breakfast time. We had an afternoon shopping, and very unusually we went to the Migros supermarket at Interlaken west. Migros is a really good supermarket; better quality than the Co-op and with correspondingly higher prices. The real reason that we don’t go very often though, is that they don’t sell alcohol.

Back here in the village, everyone is talking about this newspaper article.

A wolf has been seen at Männlichen. Wolves are rare in Switzerland, but they are nevertheless a problem as they kill livestock – hence they make the news when they’re spotted. At this time of year there are no livestock out in the open, so it’s possible that the wolf was interested in the herd of wild gemschi (small deer) that live under the cable car.

Colin recently had a delivery of furniture, so now he has enough seating for everyone, he’s cooking at his place tonight.
