The tao of Trump
I’m going to hell, I know.
Back to schoolÂ
The oldies are flying back to the UK and we’re back to the usual daily routine (but not late, for a change )
Lausanne Marathon and Olympic museum
Katy ran her second official 10K run this weekend, the Lausanne marathon:
She did her personal best, improving on her London time. Yaaaaay!
After that, we all went to the Olympic museum. We’d tried to go on Friday, but the timing didn’t work out so we managed to get it done today.
We finished the day by having a celebratory Keriche and burger at the Brasseurs.
Good meal. Tired now :)

It’s the simple things that make the biggest impactÂ
Chateau d’Aigle
The family and the oldies went to visit the Chateau d’Aigle and the wine and label museum. It was a gorgeous day.
The castle was being decked out for a Halloween evening. Ben would have loved to stay for it but the timing didn’t work. We went to eat at a local pub, the Caveau de Cloitre. BRILLIANT!!! Rave! Rave! Best part? Homemade Breton apple cake with salted caramel sauce. We actually bought a whole cake to bring back home for pudding tonight :)

I sometimes do it.Â

Extreme ironing
Something for Granddad to look into. Maybe start a senior chapter – and it started in LESTA!!!!
Extreme ironing is an outdoor sport that combines the danger and excitement of an ‘extreme’ sport with the satisfaction of a well pressed shirt. It involves taking an iron and board to remote locations and ironing a few items of laundry. This can involve ironing on a mountainside, preferably on a difficult climb, or taking an iron skiing, scooting or canoeing.
Extreme ironing has been around for roughly 12 years now, it was an idea started in Leicester (UK) in 1997 that combines an exciting and dangerous experience with the dull and boring, and it certainly does that.
In June 1999, there was a worldwide recruitment campaign which involved America, Fiji, New Zealand, Australia and Southern Africa. This led to Extreme Ironing International which was when it was first recognised as a sport.
Now you’re wondering ‘What would I need to do to start this?’ Well, it’s quite simple really, all you need is an iron, a board and some clothes, then it is suggested that you start of in your back garden before going more extreme, like mountainsides, woods or public places. Remember, the more extreme you get, the more money you will have to spend on the equipment. So go out in your back garden and iron from your swings or shed roof…
