Feel ghastly. Didn't fall asleep till 5 am, and was awake again shortly after.

Fixed the wing mirror - lifted out the drivers' side glass from my scrapper Felicia and popped it in. All of 5 mins. All the fitments are the same (love how Skoda are so sensible with these things), though the glass itself isn't quite as large. It'll do for now, however. Can get a new one online for a fiver.

Also put the crock pot on with some savoury beef mince for tonight, hauled a sack of coal in from the shed, did the laundry and gave the green recycling team their Christmas box.

@ Fab Foodie

I have consulted a map. A road atlas of Europe to be exact. An atlas so old (circa 1983) that the M25 is indicated as "under construction".

Confusion arises as to whether you are in Switzerland or Leichtenstein,

Aannyway, yes I have been to Sargans, probably while doing a Train based jolliday based in Davos. This tour would also have included Landquart, Vaduz and Zizzers, amongst multitudinous other lines and stations, It was a holiday for hardened Rail Fans.

I am sure it was Sargans where I purchased two Romansch phrase books. One French/Romansch and one German/Romansch. I gave one away to a friend who is also very interested in languages.

The Cyclechat banner ad is now showing Armani suits.

...It must be because I was googling Endura MT500 Plus overshoes yesterday. They're just sorta fashionable like Armani suits are don't ya know!!

Mine was advertising Kroger grocery stores yesterday. Step up from Aldi.

Just looked it up on the map.... not an area I've been to, and less snowy looking than I expected... bits of Scotland last week looked as white as that in places!

They have not had much snow yet. Close to Lichenstein border. Couple of years back I brought the Brommie and rode over the border for some fine local white wine. Very pleasant and peaceful area.

Well that's the last of my Christmas shopping done.
Into town first thing for wrapping paper, cards, fancy boxes and such. Plus a new big rug for the lounge.
Shops were absolutely rammed.
What 'recession'?

 

[Gravity Aided]

I thought you all drove everywhere.

Were I in good health , I could walk from Kroger to Aldi faster than driving. I tend to use the bicycle until the weather gets out of hand.

Small town calls Sargans.

Lichenstein? A rolling stone gather no moss.

If you able to, or tempted to, visit Chur. Please be very careful. The trains up to Arosa run through the streets. I would hate to think that you could be squished unexpectedly by a train street-running past or over you.

Street running trains in Chur.

Today I had a Mercedes GLE 3.5d. AMG 4x4 monster.... the train wouldn’t have stood a chance!

I'm getting business loans (!), Ford cars (used to do design work on them, would never have one) and Zooplus.
