Big disappointment for me yesterday. I was off to town in the afternoon to see what the monthly market had to offer. I was taking photos and also of the beautiful clouds we had as the sun was shining. It was really a perfect afternoon. However, if you do not check your camera for the various settings, it could be that the dial has moved to something totally not wanted and this was the case. I took about 50 photos and managed to rescue 8 of them, the others were absolutely useless, and so no great pictures today. I decided to disappear again this afternoon to town and hope that I will be more successful, although the market is only once a month.

This morning I am later as my cleaning lady is busy bringing my bathroom and shower up to a high polish, which she does very well. To accompany her I have cleaned my front windows and put the meal on cooking. Mr. Swiss had an appointment at the hospital at 7.30 a.m. this morning meaning that he had to stop hugging the bed at 6.00 a.m. poor thing. He tried to get a later appointment but it was not possible. The advantage was that he was already at home again at 9.00 a.m.

There was an interesting event in the supermarket yesterday morning and apologies for my thumb at the bottom of the photo, but I did not trust myself to take another photo. There were people lined up with cameras and a guy was talking to one of the shop workers. I thought they were making a film for the TV advertising.

I spoke to the lady at the back dressed in black and she told me that they were testing the examining experts they have for their apprentices. This supermarket chain, Migros, is the biggest Swiss supermarket and they have their own apprenticeship system. I told her I was a little disappointed as I though it might be a chance for me as a satisfied customer to appear on TV in their advertising film.

And I am afraid that is all I can offer today. The cleaning lady has now departed leaving me a wonderfully clean and sparkling bath and shower. I hope you all have a successful day and sleep well. How about a bouquet to brighten things up. The only successful photos I had yesterday were those I took with my mobile phone.
