It is a rainy morning and quite unfriendly. Today is the day we are supposed to getting our first hurricane since 1926 according to the experts, but we do not even have high winds currently, just a dismal day. Perhaps it might hit another part of Europe, but we Swiss seem to be protected in our valleys in between the alps.

Yesterday I decided to have a lazy day. I was planning on a short trip to the store, but there was really nothing urgent that I needed and my No. 1 son brought some eggs I wanted for adding to the cold cuts in the evening. I snuggled down in my bed after lunch and made the most of it.

Mr. Swiss mentioned yesterday that No. 2 son said he would probably call past this week in the evening. He always makes surprise visits and five minutes later he was on the door step. He calls past now and again to see how mum and dad are, having an apartment in a nearby town that he uses during the week. Otherwise he lives on the Eastern edge of Switzerland in a village near Schaffhausen. It is always good to see him and get news of his outside world. Apparently No. 1 grandson is making speech progress and can now say his own name. He is also in the process of learning the difference between “yes” and “no”, although often not in agreement with his mum and dad leading to a demonstration of power.

As you can see I have finished breakfast and are on my usual journey in the Internet world. Today I have a planned trip to the stores as supplies are getting low.  Some people like to get organised that they only a weekly shopping safari, but I like to get out now and again seeing and doing things, otherwise I get a little cabin fever at home. I have to drop in at the computer department today. Yesterday I misplaced the Logitec mouse that I use for my other Windows computer. I wrote about it and it is still in the land of the missing mice, so I will have to organise a new one today.

Garden life is gradually closing in and my rudbeckia lacianata are the last of the flowers, before the Autumn days take over and Winter creeps in. I am hoping for a nice snow free ice free winter. Since driving regularly again there are certain road conditions which I am not so keen on. Generally I only go places in the afternoon and by then our authorities have cleared away most of the disruptions.

And now to move on to the usual daily routine. There are things to clean and tidy up and to organise. It seems some parts of the world have already received their snowy days. One of the advantages of being online in a international web site, you can visit other countries without the inconvenience of actually travelling there. Have a good day and hope that all goes well for everyone, otherwise just make the most of it.
