August 2008

Swiss National day was a rather dreary start to the month. You never knew if it was going to rain or not. We risked it and went walking in Sörenberg, we are scouting out some potential off piste routes for the coming winter. It is about this time of year winter seems such along way away in spite of the cold temperatures we are having. The ground floor apartment is now empty so we have started the renovations. We are doing quite a bit ourselves, its fun to be able to rip out the old wall. The new insulation was a very messy job with Bitumen sealer, Michelle was in her element getting dirty.  Its a much bigger job than we anticipated. Come the middle of August the weather has improved considerably we had a Brunch up on the Marbachegg with Karin, Res and family.  We walked down to help burn off some of the calories consumed. It was definitely a month for hiking, at the end of the month we went with the SHG from Burgdorf (a group Michelle helps run). We visited an Ostrich farm, we had an interesting tour, it was amazing to see an 80kg man standing on an egg and it not break.
