Mother's Day

Today is Mother's Day - at least if you live in Switzerland and the United States. I said Happy Mother's Day to my mom today and she said "the same to you!". Um, this will take some getting used to, I am not used to celebrating myself on mother's day...

This weekend we had Andreas' mother, Doris, visiting us. She came on Thursday evening when the weather was sunny and warm. We took a boat ride on the lake and saw the sunset and mountains from the water - beautiful! Then, Friday (while I was working) Andreas and Doris headed to the top of Uetliberg to enjoy the views, sun and ice-cream. Sounds like they had a wonderful day. At least I got to join them for fondu in the garden during the evening.
 

Outside the museum - just before we took out the umbrellas!

Yesterday it rained all day so we headed to the National Museum. Perfect day to spend in the exhibits and eating chocolate at a nice cafe. At least we can still enjoy discussing wedding plans and baby names when the weather is bad. And Doris got to see how variable the weather is here. The sun is out today again - just in time for her to head to the airport!

In other news - we have moved again. This time for the last time. We are now in another rowhouse in the same neighborhood as we were living temporarily before. We are renting a room in a 3-bedroom house. One of the guys is my colleague from Eawag. The house is pretty empty right now since it is only us there, but our housemate Nans is moving in tomorrow and bringing the couch, so that should make it a bit cozier.
