Regular readers will know that I like to have a run in the valley every few days. It keeps me reasonably fit, and defrays some of the damage done to my waistline in Rocks bar. Today was one of those days, and I was out early. It was a chilly 13 degrees when I left the house dressed in t-shirt and shorts, and I’m sure it was even colder when I got down to Lauterbrunnen. For the first time this summer, all the cars that had been parked overnight were covered in dew, but I had a lovely (and surprisingly fast) run along the valley floor, with only fellow runners and farmers for company. As my running watch keeps reminding me, it’s the Jungfrau Mini-marathon in a couple of weeks, so I need to keep this up.

Meanwhile, Val had been up even earlier than me as she was off down to Interlaken for surgery on her second eye. Not a soul about at Wengen station.

Val will be up even earlier tomorrow to have her dressing removed, and then she’ll get some idea of just how well she can see with her newly treated eyes. Fingers crossed, but I’m sure everything will be fine.
