FollowWe had a super dinner of fajitas round at Ali’s last night, and today got off to a predictably slow start.
As I was saying the other day, we take public transport pretty much for granted. Every so often however, we get a reminder of how expensive the network of trains, busses and cable cars really is. It’s the end of winter, so we need to buy summer passes and renew our half-fare railcards.
The lady serving Val was determined that we should get a discount, though her computer disagreed. After a long phone call to HQ it turned out that she was right, so we saved a little money. It’ll still be a four figure item on our next credit card bill though.
Our nursery slope is looking particularly sorry for itself, with a huge trench running from top to bottom. No idea what this is for.
We had a distinctly British dinner tonight; fish fingers, chips and baked beans.
Understand that trench is for snow making so that nursery school can operate when snow in village is short. Fingers crossed for cold weather at the appropriate time! R
Makes sense, looked like power and water pipes. The whole village is being dug up at the moment!
I have also been wondering what the trench was on the Nursery slope until Ueli informed yesterday that they are putting in pipes to make snow. Great! Schöne Sonntag! Maggie x
Thanks Maggie, that’s great news!
