Swifficiency!

Think of the tidiest, most organised and efficient place in the world...
... are you thinking of Ikea in Zurich? You should be!

Went in to pick up a few essentials that were missing from our 'fully equipped' (sic) kitchen, and also checked out some furniture we may need to buy when we find a new flat from the summer.

After leaving the store I took the long way home - and drove up to the snowline at Uetlikon (Zurich's little mountain) before dropping back into the West of Zurich at Albisrieden - approaching the city from this direction gives it a village-y feel - and only half a mile in brings you to our apartment. We are lucky to have a location so close to the edge of the city. (only downside was tractor carrying about a cubic kilometre of hay!!)

And every time I get home and close the door, the heavens open outside - lots of little hailstones today that look like miniature polystyrene balls... at least I managed to make the best of the day again!! (took a pic but CAN'T UPLOAD PICS as there is some kind of problem which I can't work out...)

Definitely taking Priya up to Uetlikon in the car (or you can get a train but petrol much cheaper ;-) ) - the views will be amazing from up there on a clear day...

First job interview Tuesday, need to get some more lined up but it's a start at least!

Right back to the job hunt... after poached eggs of course. Priorities! :-)

PS Ah - the Dead Kennedys - just the soundtrack for a quiet day in Switzerland... ;-)
