When we went to our ski holiday last week, we had a lot of luggage. So we had to hurry when leaving or switching the train. It always worked out well, even when we had to run, or walk a stairway twice. When we left the train on the way back in our home town,… Continue reading missing or lost -> stolen

A strange kind of holiday
It all started about two weeks ago when my wife discovered water on the kitchen floor that kept coming. The plumber who came immediately, found out that two parts of the waste pipe shifted out of each other, leaving a gap open. He told us that this must have happened two or three weeks earlier.… Continue reading A strange kind of holiday
Visiting the doctor after 20 years
My wive usually rolls her eyes, when I tell her: “No, I don’t need that medicine. My immune system can cope with that, and needs to be trained.” or “No, I don’t need that painkiller as long as the headache is not overwhelming. My body reminds me that I should not shake my head too… Continue reading Visiting the doctor after 20 years
Hello Kitty
Since she was a kid, my wive dreamt of having a pet, preferably a cat. Our kids also said they would love to have a cat or a bunny or a turtle or… I grew up with animals. We had cats and dogs and sheep and goats and chicken and once even a pig. We… Continue reading Hello Kitty
sweet dreams
For my last army service, I was ordered to Eschenbach SG near Rapperswil to help in an arsenal. It’s actually a long story, how it came to that. Compared to a regular service, it was very much relaxed. I could go home every night, which is quite nice, especially if you have a young family.… Continue reading sweet dreams

VW Bus Treffen Schwarzsee
Last saturday we went to the vw bus gathering at the Schwarzsee. There were more than 460 VW Busses present from all different types. I had the impression, to see less vehicles than last time, but comparing the pictures from 2009, I’m not so sure anymore. It’s amazing in how good a shape some of… Continue reading VW Bus Treffen Schwarzsee
Chiemsee Holiday
Like for most people around here, summer holidays for us usually means going south. And that is what we usually did in the past. This year, we wanted something new. The countries north of Switzerland were unexplored territory for us in regards of holiday destinations. We had ideas to go to the netherlands, Belgium or… Continue reading Chiemsee Holiday
tinkering with the kids
This Easter weekends the weather was really crap, so we stayed home. We had lots of time to spend with the kids, and we all enjoyed that. The boys are still a bit too young for the projects I usually do, but we just did our first electronics lession.. Even if Levin didn’t fully understand… Continue reading tinkering with the kids
Wallis Ski Holiday
Last week we spent a ski holiday in the Wallis. We stayed with Mirella’s mother. Most days we went to Bürchen to practice skiing with Levin, and have some sledge rides with Noah. Levin went to the ski school for half a day, but he didn’t like it at all. He preferred being taught by… Continue reading Wallis Ski Holiday
