My kind next door neighbours Hope has passed on her copy of Swiss News to me. Looking forward to reading it later, especially the articles about Marcel Hug (paralympian) and the Swiss Olympic triathlon team.

I was torn today as I watched the Olympics. I am British but I live in Switzerland so who to support in the tennis? In the end I was glad to see Murray win, but pleased that Federer won silver.
Same problem with the cycling timetrail - so wanted Fabian 'Spartacus' Cancellara to win but pleased that Wiggins did!

London is getting ready for a weekend of celebrations for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee - here's Regents Street with flags across the street. Oxford Street is the same. It's red white and blue crazy! Made me feel quite patriotic. But then again, I love to see the Swiss flags, and the cantonal flags flying in Winterthur. I like people to be proud of the places they come from, and the places they live. This is my home for the foreseeable future and I'm proud to be here.

I'm in London for the next three days and I arrived in my hotel room to discover a lovely reminder of Switzerland - a Nespresso machine. Sadly I couldn't sample it as it was 22.30 and I can't cope with caffeine in any quantity after 5pm if I want to sleep. Needless to say a) John was very jealous and b) I will try it out tomorrow!

Hoping I can last out until next time I'm in the UK, else I'll have to resort to importing it from Germany by the box!

I'm so glad to see my family and friends again. And I'm especially pleased to see my nephew Robert. I can Tweet and FB, or call or Skype others but Robert has to be seen in the flesh. He's precious.
I'm now greeted with "pig..... bird" when he sees me as he wasn't sure which of the two my flower at the wedding most resembled. And on his Row row the boat safari, he now meets an Aunty Lisa animal who sneezes and makes him laugh like a drain!
