The Pandemic is alive and well and I am still walking around in circles. I would go for bigger, more interesting adventures but no one is publicising those events until after the fact. During a pandemic it helps to be misinformed, an alcoholic and a festival goer.
If you like real sports, like climbing, cycling, group hikes etc then you have to wait for months, or at this point, probably years, for the pandemic to end.
I walked to the Chateau De Bossey today. It’s an easy walk from one village to another and another after that.
A dirt road part of the walk.
A view of the Salève
A view of a field, the lakes with boats and the Alps in the background.
A penguin feeding a chick.
I would never expect to see a penguin feeding a chick in the middle of Switzerland in the middle of summer in Switzerland but I did. It’s just a wooden statue but that doesn’t make it any less unexpected. At first I thought it was just a block of wood to block people from taking a parking spot.
Two new books from the lending library.
A walk from one forest to another from Founex to Arnex.
Sometimes we walk in the rain and the snow and we get soaked by the weather. Today I drank a litre in an hour and a half of walking. The air temperature is around 31c.
I decided to walk from clump of trees to clump of trees. It’s possible. If I had walked in the direct sun I would have needed to drink more than I did.
Rolls of Hay wrapped in plastic
Recently we have had droughts so hay has not grown much. This year we have had plenty of rain. This means that hay and grass has had a good growing season. This in turn means that there will be plenty of feed for cows.

Maybe yesterday’s bison can eat it.
Swiss hiking signs
Today I walked in the mountains for the first time in a long time. It feels good to be back up there.
Water for the Cascade

Do you feel like you are being watched. Imagine loving south of a field of sunflowers.
