FollowThe snow that started yesterday continued all night, and this morning there was more than a foot of the stuff covering the village. We were woken at about 5am by Council workers trying to clear the paths before people start going to work, or skiing.
I didn’t mind being woken up, as I need to be in Interlaken very early for my first lens replacement operation. The walk up to the village was very entertaining, through huge snowdrifts. Val followed me down to the valley a few trains later. The trains were still having to clear the tracks every trip.
Anyhow, somehow I got to the eye clinic on time. The lens that I was born with was removed from my left eye, and in its place a new high tech plastic lens was implanted. It will last for the rest of my life.
It’s going to snow again tonight, heavier and more prolonged than last night, and tomorrow I need to be back at the clinic for a check-up. My appointment is an hour earlier than my surgery was this morning, so I need to be out well before the council workers start clearing the paths. Wish me luck.
