Another highlight of the Winterthurer Musikfest - a grotesque comedy trio from St Gallen.  

John and I especially enjoyed the 'poesie in English' called "I luuve too-nels" recited in an exaggerated SwissGerman-English accent and extolling the virtues of loving tunnels in a country with so many mountains and therefore tunnels! (You had to be there really...)

We went to Zürich Zoo today - lots of lovely animals and birds to see, but I took a photograph of this 'dummy tree' on which children hang their dummies or comforters.
There's a similar thing near our home in England at a children's farm where children leave their dummies for the pigs. I prefer the tree!

Not sure what to say about this really. Except that it amused us all.

A funny one today. I bought this face mask in Müller. Unusually, the instructions are in English but out of habit I read the French and also the German. Imagine my astonishment when I discovered the following.

 The English instructions say 'Apply ...... and leave for 5-10 minutes.'

The French instructions say 'Appliquer ..... et laisser poser entre 5 et 10 minutes'

The German instructions say 'Auf Gesicht, Hals und Dekolleté auftragen. 10-15 Minuten  einwirken lassen.'

So, what is different about the skin of people who speak German, I ask myself?!
