Chalet Time - Deeep clean!
... for the past year, the whole place needs a good paint. Lunch with Joel & Charlotte. My hands are getting so dry from all the cleaning - can't wait for the arrival of rubber gloves, awoohoo!!

Geneva Weekend trip
... Lausanne [managed to sneak through the fence, thanks to clever C], walked down to harbour to take photos by the lake [just as beautiful – never get tired of lake and snow-capped mountains!], tram up to old town where we follow the walking tour, ran for our train and made it, ate overpriced food by the river, got to the airport in good time.
