June 2008

The summer has arrived, what a hot month June was. We spent most of the month at home but had quite a few visitors in that time. Alexandra came over to sew with Michelle, her cats hat partially destroyed her  curtains. We have bought the wii fit game and been having lots laughs at our attempts of yoga, hoola hooping and other fun games. Not really that taxing but lots of fun. Priska came over for a fun WII evening, there was lots of laughing during the boxing match.  Olav came over for a BBQ, we are certainly using the balcony a lot with this great weather. We have discovered a new micro brewery in Langnau, it is in an old factory complex combined with indoor mini golf, bowling, cocktail bars  and an ice-cream parlar.  We had fun on the mini golf, mmm maybe next time we should play before drinking the beer. June is the month of the Le Mans 24 hour race. It has become tradition to try stay awake for most of it. Duncan did really well but Michelle gave up at about 2am. She said she was going to nap for an hour, but didn't resurface until 5 hours later. As usual we each picked one car in the four different categories. Poor Duncan though his cars kept on crashing or blowing up.  The last Monday in June is a bank holiday in Burgdorf, Michelle had the day off, but Duncan had to work. Michelle did a long motorbike tour with Rüdi and Silvia. The tour went through the Jura region down as far as Yverdon before returning home.  The weather was ok, it kept on threatening to rain but never did.  After 300 km on one day she was pleased to stop.
