Chffing down
... trip round Migros to stock our sad looking fridge. 30CHF doesn't fill even one bag despite buying own brand. It will be a pasta-fuelled season.. . again. Phone topup purchased so shouldn't have desperate run out for a while.
Silly tokens for washing machine purchased and I just about figured the machine out. 3 sets of instructions-in French,German and Italian. I have smattering of each ...

Mountain Running Fail
Not wanting to leave the beautiful mountain countryside just yet, I continued on to Leysin to undertake an impressive attempt to jog up La Berneuse (2048m). Not so impressively, I utterly failed.
