A Walk To The Chateau De Bossey
I walked to the Chateau De Bossey today. It’s an easy walk from one village to another and another after that.
A Penguin Feeding a Chick in Switzerland
I would never expect to see a penguin feeding a chick in the middle of Switzerland in the middle of summer in Switzerland but I did. It’s just a wooden statue but that doesn’t make it any less unexpected. At first I thought it was just a block of wood to block people from taking a parking spot.
I found two new books of interest. now that I am sitting I can look through them.
Duck Tales
Ducks going out for afternoon tea on the Lac Léman. A mother duck and her ducklings.
Relaxing with Language Learning
Today I practiced vocal German and I found it relaxing compared to being with people in person. This pandemic sees the opportunities almost impossible.
When I played with voice recognition on the laptop it failed but when I use it on the phone it works fine. Practice speaking with a phone, when you’re in a quiet room.
Roman and Greek Mythology
I was looking for this type of information online and I found a few websites that provided such information. This one is useful because it is full of Greek and Roman mythological people so it serves as a good resource.
I found it at one of the phone boxes turned into a book library locations.
My intention is to skim through this book and slowly to get a good overview of the complex topic. I didn’t know that Musée was a name, not just a place.
A Walk In The Shade
Sometimes we walk in the rain and the snow and we get soaked by the weather. Today I drank a litre in an hour and a half of walking. The air temperature is around 31c.
I decided to walk from clump of trees to clump of trees. It’s possible. If I had walked in the direct sun I would have needed to drink more than I did.
31 might seem warm but we had 37 for days in a row during previous years. This year has been gentle.
Hay There
Recently we have had droughts so hay has not grown much. This year we have had plenty of rain. This means that hay and grass has had a good growing season. This in turn means that there will be plenty of feed for cows.
Maybe yesterday’s bison can eat it.
The Bison Of Geneva
The Bison Of Geneva and calves
I didn’t get too close to the fence and I stayed on the bike. When I have been on foot they have threatened to charge me. Usually I see them from far away. This time I was close.
Views From Les Diablerets
Today I walked in the mountains for the first time in a long time. It feels good to be back up there.
