The beaver is a proud and noble animal
Notes from a bemused canuck
We were looking for Tolstoy last night and found him in Ben’s bed. He tends to go there when Ben’s away. There is a child size hole in all the crap in his bed. That’s all the space he has to sleep in. And not shown in this picture are polar bear and beaver (who are with him at scout camp), the two giant ikea sharks, snowman blanket from Scottsdales and the stuffed wolf we always think is a real dog from Smythes.
Went with Katy on her morning walk with Lilly today. Making me want to have a dog, no fair!
Trump is visiting, Brexit is a mess, Theresa May’s cabinet is in shambles, but England is in the semis of the world cup for the first time since 1990 so all is well.
Pavel took offense at my early departure this morning and tried to hold my bag hostage. It didn’t work, and I got a truly grumpy mewl when I tried to move my bag strap from underneath him.
On our way to drop Ben off at the train station this morning, we saw this. A shopping trolley and a bicycle. The bike was actually lying in a heap on its side. Five hours later, when we came home, it was still there, except now someone had straightened the bike. Realize though that the Migros is a good 10 minute walk away and this was left near a pretty busy roundabout.
When the child is away, the parents will play! Going to see Jurassic World. There’s a bit of a crowd for the Sunday matinée…
And he’s off for another scout summer camp. This time, he seemed pretty excited to go. He’s been up since 5:30… He is so Katy’s son though. Nervous stomach, manic displacement, “there, I’ve interacted with a human being!” [actual quote, that last one]

If Roko has an accident and we all die, half the digital nutrition and health team snuffs it.
Ook, I say.
I was having a beer and a chin-wag with Colin when he pointed out the moon to me, over the alps and the lake. He said something that really struck a chord: for our kids, this view is a normal, everyday thing. They don’t realise that there are quite a few many places that are not as nice as this. He’s right, and for all of its idiosyncrasies, Switzerland has been good to us.
