Leapfrog the dog and run

In the Guardian last week there was a bunch of snippets from comedians performing at the Edinburgh Festival. There was one guy I particularly liked, his quotes went something like this:

I would just like to say to that old man on crutches in camouflage gear that nicked my wallet last week: you can hide but you can`t run!

Awkward isn`t it? When you are at a mosque and everyone`s praying and you`re a compulsive leapfrog player.

Some advice for you. If you are being chased by a police dog, don`t run up small ladders, through pipes and jump small walls. They`ve trained at that.

Not drowning

I saw a Christmas decoration today. I don`t as yet know if it is one of the earliest on record, or the latest - which would be very un-swiss. Still, I was impressed.

The other thing I saw was this morning. I want for a swim with my friend doris out into the lake of Zurich. We were out about 150 metres from shore when a ferry came passed us. Half of the people waved. It was very weird. It was like we were dolphins, or seals, which of course exaggerates our swimming prowess. We waved back eventually, there were so many of them waving it felt like a joke.

Maybe it was.
