Nice Indian summer in Switzerland

We have a nice indian summer and it is warm outside. The children around here are having school vacation and a lots of families are away for one or two weeks.
So we are alone in our house and besides our 3 cats we have 4 other cats to feed.
We are in a time of massive change, but things still go very well.
We got this year more money for the milk, but now the farmers went ahead and produced more milk, then the swiss people can use and for overseas is our milk to expensive.
So this might bring down the price again, but we will see.
We wish you all good ideas to shape the future.

Westside just around the corner

Whenever I go to Bern or go to visit my parents, it takes me 2 Miles to get to the highway and here is going to be a new shoppping mall, also with cinemas, restaurants, lots of shopping goods, swimmingpools and nearby is a mursing home.
The only thing it takes is a big wallet.
The older people can rent small apartments, one ore 2 rooms and get care, if they get sick.

Summertime is over, its cooler in Switzerland

From one day to the other the temperature dropped down to 10° C.

Even the Swiss banks felt the black Monday from die USA yesterday.
They say it is like a thundercalp and it will take several days to get back to normal and the worldwide net of the finanzsystem has to be rebuild.
Of course we know that banks help each other in emergencies, but we know, that everything will cool down and we will get more unemployed people next year.

It rains and we go to Bern without an umbrella

It takes me half an hour to go to the station in Bern and as you can see, there is no problem with rain.
Gasoline and heating oil will remain the same at this time, but we got a letter from the electric power company, where they write us, that next year, the price from the electricity will go up by 10 to 20 percent.
