We have a wide selection of keys for this house. Some of them open all the doors, while others will only open our front door, or the door to the apartment in the basement, and a few will only open the door to our laundry and cellar. It’s confusing, as all the keys look the same, so we have to keep them carefully labelled. It’s doubtless all very clever, but on balance it would be much simpler if each door just had its own key. Today therefore, a locksmith paid us a visit and he’s going to sort it all out. Hooray!

It snowed overnight, just like it did last weekend. The alpine choughs that live up at Scheidegg can’t find any food when the weather’s like this, so they all come down to Wengen.

The weather’s getting properly cold now, so this afternoon’s job was to drain the outside taps and disconnect them for the winter. With cold water and even colder fingers, it’s not a fun job.
