Wired for sound

The warm weather continues, and skiing back to the cable car station is now only for the adventurous.

Val was at the doctors this morning, and she no longer has to wear a cast on her ankle. It has been replaced by a lightweight brace. The big advantage of this is that she can wear a normal shoe again.

The Jungfraubahn are always looking for ways to increase the capacity of the railway, and their latest plan involves laying an additional stretch of track past our house, as well as the construction of a pedestrian underpass. This will obviously result in lots of noise and disruption, so our landlady is going to officially object to the whole scheme. The first thing we need to do is measure the current noise and vibration from the existing single railway track. This afternoon a couple of guys came around and wired up the house with microphones and instruments to measure vibration.

We’ll let these run for a couple of weeks, and see what results we get. Rocks tonight, with Colin playing.
