We had a night out in Interlaken yesterday – it was one of Val’s colleagues’ birthday. This week we have to be very careful not to miss the 10.30pm train back up to Wengen, as it’s the last one. The reason for this is maintenance on the track. As soon as the last train has passed by, gangs of workers spring into action to repair the tracks. Here they are waiting outside our house as we got back last night.

To make matters worse, starting next Monday there are no trains at all down in the valley. Busses will replace them for a fortnight, which will be a pain. Today we went to Interlaken and got as much shopping as we could carry, so hopefully we won’t need to use the busses too often.

As I write this it’s snowing hard outside, so there should be some good skiing once it all clears up. I’m seeing the doctor tomorrow morning, and hopefully he’ll pronounce my ribs fully healed, and I’ll be able to enjoy the last few days of the ski season.
