I don’t often spend two hours on a scooter driving from Geneva to Nyon and back, especially not when it’s about 1\u00b0c. In such conditions, I’d drive to the closest train station and be done with it. I waited until ten or eleven in the morning to drive. Any earlier and it would have been really cold. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s one of those situations when you’re happy that there are roadworks and slow drivers. If there were no road works and no slow drivers I would be going at up to 80 kilometres an hour and trying to keep as much out of the wind as possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My hands, my gluteus maximus and my legs were the parts to get cold. It’s not that the entire leg is cold, but just small parts. This does make it easier to endure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In previous years when I was driving to work my legs got so cold as I got to the train station that I struggled to walk properly. This wasn’t the case today. In the past, I was driving in the early hours of the morning when temperatures were at their lowest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some people add skirts to their scooter, to keep warm. I save money and wear thermal underwear and it works. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before I leave you I was able to see the bison better than usual. They are in a small pen and I stopped. As I walked up I scared a mother and her calf so I missed the shot I really wanted to get. It’s funny to see an animal as big as a bison run away from you. It’s a relief. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the photo, you can see that at least one male was watching me. I didn’t stay too long or advance any further and I didn’t linger. These animals could easily bash down the gate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also saw a sheepherder and her dog move sheep from one field to another from my bedroom window. For once I saw it in real life, despite having a piece of glass in front of me. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
