Wow, it is early Saturday and we have the weekend in front of us without a huge to-do-list. Great news. As usual we had a release on Friday, i.e. yesterday, but I got out of office before midnight at least.
Since Tanya came back from her trip to Novokuznetsk, we (naturally mostly Tanya) have been working on the bed room and yesterday she finished putting the new floor in place. The old floor, and the carpet that was glued to the floor under it, is in the Saab together with some other garbage. I don’t think I have ever seen the Saab so packed and it is soon time to go to a recycling station, in Schlieren now for a change, and get rid of it. My regards goes to Fredrik R for the recycling coupons…
The plan for the weekend is to relax instead of working, and I think we both need it. The municipality folks at Adliswil are re-doing the street outside of the garage, but I hope we will be able to get a car out, and then head south to Ticino at 9. We have booked a hotel in Locarno where we are meeting our friends Daniel and Hanna. They are staying in Italy but “Swiss Italy”, i.e. Ticino, is close enough for a visit. The hotel seems to have a nice view over the city, at least according to the images on the booking site, and since the weather forecast predicts 29 degrees and no rain, the expectations are set high. 🙂 With nice company, it can’t go wrong even if the hotel is a disaster and the Swiss meteorologists happen to have a bad day.
My old cars got CD players so this week I have burnt some vintage CD-Rs. Feels a bit like travelling back in time but it is fine. Tanya’s new computer seems to fail the simple task of burning audio CDs (it always fail with some error message in the end of the process regardless of burning software) but Brasero in Ubuntu on my old HP is executing swiftly. No more portable loudspeakers or weak FM transmitters anymore, proper plastic discs, that’s the future. 🙂
Okay okay, time to get going. I’ll get back with a report from Locarno. Cheers for now.
