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 ...
A nice gentle start on the slopes
... weird. I kept freaking out that I was going to miss the chance to grab my skis before the bubble disappeared. Skiing in Verbier is much higher than La Ros, Las Attelas is 2750ish not the 2250 I'm used to. It's a lot busier here too.

Basically tonight is a run through for the No 14 staff of how a client dinner will happen. From the moment we walk in the door we are treated as guests. I have a lovely glass of Bordeaux from Will who as driver/host I think has the hardest job of all of us. Canapes are goats cheese on polenta cakes with red ...
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. Almost immediately. About 3 jogged steps up the steep trail I re-evaluated my overly-ambitious plan and decided that a brisk hike was actually a far better plan for ...
