Average temperature so far has been 7 Centigrade, so getting used to that with a lack of layers due to my over zealous replacing of clothes with books means I may be struggling when it gets really cold. Now online thanks to Mr Bourgazi downstairs, a really nice guy. University campus the cleanest I have ever seen, the beautiful, unmarked, clean concrete lines had the skater in me slobbering: no room for skateboard in luggage...grr...Beautiful architecture, clean streets, little noise, everything works. Only problem is the prices. Paid around 9CHF for a small pot of houmous (about£6.50!). We'll be OK if we keep it simple though. For those interested in high street differences instead of Tesco or Sainsbury's there is the infinitely superior Migros (still a cooperative) and its Kwik-Save like subsidiary Denner (good for cheap veg). At the high end is Manor - like a 'cool' and 'hip' version of Marks and Spencer, that stocks brands and other things you actually want, in most cases at (comparatively) affordable prices. This is where we bought A's neato Hello Kitty hat.
Friday 14th was sunny - see the view from our apartment. The park you can just see had a brand new unlocked bike left in it for two days. It also has a frog prince water fountain, a climbing wall, a rope bridge and two play huts. What can you do...
