What a week !

Roger and I started the week meeting our walking group at the Ettingen tram stop just out of Basel. The rain was falling steadily, but we decided to 'press forward'. There were 8 of us gallant walkers (GO GIRLS - and Roger of course!!). The rain didn't ease and we squelched and sweltched (I don't think that's a word but it looks good) and 3 hours later returned on the tram to Basel. Nothing that a good bath couldn't cure Monday!

The rest of the week we have been applying for an extention to our stay here in Germany and putting in our Visa application. It has been all consuming and we have had to have patience and lots of time to do this.

Friday we are off to Winterthur in Switzerland (near Zurich) for a Seed Conference led by Derek Webster. We are really looking forward to getting to know lots of people.

Sunday we will travel from Winterthur to Milano by train and spend a few days there as a treat for our 30th Wedding Anniversary. It will be good to spend time together in a new place just enjoying the surrounds (and maybe just a little shopping).

What a life. We have so much to be thankful for as we travel around, meet interesting people and make many new friends.

Will try and contact Thursday night...? Hope that the Sun is shining in Milano - the fog barely cleared in fair Melbourne town <><
