Sometimes I have a feeling that I am in an Alfred Hitchcock film with so many birds watching and waiting for the daily food, but it is mainly the sparrows, so we will probably survive.

Yesterday I mentioned that I did not intend going anywhere for anything or anyone but also added that you can never be sure what might crop up, and how right I was. When our computer guy phoned Mr. Swiss to say that he could upload his charger and he could use it for a few hours, I knew there would be no peace until he had his charger. Being without a computer is not good for addicts, I know it, I am also one. And so off I went into town.

I eventually found his office in this modern building, after first of all going to the wrong building. I parked the car, but had to walk the rest with my walker. One positive moment was I met the computer guy’s wife. For me it was interesting, as her roots were in one of those Russian countries and I could practice what remains of my knowledge of the language. I went to classes once a week for about 12 years some years ago and in my good times, when I was young and my brain still functioned as it should, I had quite a vocabulary and could read an write the language OK. Now I am out of practice, although I noticed when talking to her that there were still a few remnants remaining. Of course she spoke quite good German, living in Switzerland for many years, but I was glad to be able to apply what little I could remember.

I picked up the computer and made my way home. I also had a task for the computer guy. I think it must be more than a year since my mails on my Mac do not work. He is not a Mac person, but had a look and said he will probably be able to do the necessary. I have functioning mails on my Windows computer and also on my iPad, a well as my iPhone, but the Mac just does not want to do the necessary.  Anyhow I am glad he is working on it. I do not write many mails, but I receive quite a lot from various web sites and no computer is complete without a functioning mail.

Whilst I was in part of the newer town with the more modern offices and shops I took a few photos. It is not black and white mode, but it was the weather that probably made it look like it. It was a fine rain, not too much, and grey skies. This is our newly renovated big supermarket in town. Mr. Swiss did mention I could now go inside and have a look, but I decided to carry on my quest for the computer office. Visiting stores was not on my list of things to do.

I parked in the parking house and at last discovered the parking spaces for the handicapped which they have. I really prefer those spaces as they are a lot wider than the normal ones and nearer to the entrance/exit and mostly available.

Today I will again be on my way shopping this afternoon, and no way will I be doing any extra jobs like dentist or doctor transport, but I must be quiet about that. You never know what might crop up.

Yesterday I at last managed a crow photo. He often visits in the garden for food on the ground but as soon as I get the camera ready he flies away. This time he was perched, as an exception, in a neighbouring tree so I clicked before he flew away again.

So not to go a little further in my daily adventures.

Everything seems to be tinged with grey today, so here is a photo in our religious part of town on the outskirts where there is a monastery, a few churches and other such buildings. At least the grass is still green. I drive past this when I visit the local store.

Have a good day, and may the weather be with you. Even rain can have its positive aspects.
