I hope today Switzerland stays with us and will not be off when they play their quarter final European Cup match against Spain in St. Petersburg. It is a wonder that they have come as far as they have and now we Swiss (OK even the 50% Swiss like me) are all cheering for our brave men. Why they had to go to Russia to play this match is a mystery to me, but that is football. They have just finished playing the national hymns and at this moment the game has begun. I will now try to fix an evening meal with one eye on the TV. I am hoping that our team will have as much energy and steam as the cow in the photo. I will definitely not be going off anywhere for the next one and half hours.
