This morning when I took the SUP out on the lake, someone was practicing the alp horn. I had that part of the lake all to myself, so I was able to relax on my board with a view of hilly pastures, farm houses, and forest while listening to alp horn music. Very Swiss. Would do again.
After five years without major issues, posting to my WordPress blog from the micro.blog iOS app is broken. Short posts do not use the status format. I’m also experiencing trouble posting images (they upload, but are not included in the post). I tried the Sunlit app, but it does not support alt text for images.
Now that the lake is finally warming up and I don’t have to leave early to get to language school every morning, I’m going to try to get out on the lake whenever the weather is nice. Yesterday I took the stand up paddle out for the first time this summer.
The last light of day on the Jungfrau above Wengen
Lauterbrunnen valley, the inspiration for J.R.R. Tolkien’s Rivendell, is quite literally a “riven dell” — it looks as if the gods clove the earth here with a giant axe.
Office for the next three days. Nicht schlecht.
I managed to trigger the fall alert on my Apple Watch during my hike today when I tangled the snow chains on one boot with the shoelace hooks on the other boot and promptly fell over (I’m fine).
Winter hike: Kleine Scheidegg – Alpiglen – Brandegg – Grindelwald Grund, 10.4km, 18m ascent / 1,132m descent, 2°C ☀️ with a stop for lunch at Alpiglen. Fantastic weather again. Pity I have to work tomorrow.

Winter hike: Männlichen to Kleine Scheidegg, 6.5km, 272m ascent/433m descent, 2h, 1°C ☀️. Beautiful hike on a glorious day. Most of the times we’ve come here in winter the weather has been miserable.
