    I’m watching a drunk (probably) girl in a fight with her bf (probably) attempting to get his attention by doing dumber and dumber things. He watches her go behind the metal temporary fence, take off her shoes and get in the water. Then she comes out, climbs around the actual security fence and sits there. He gets tired of watching and goes over to drink his beer and look at his phone (if you’re reading this, hi guy). She looks around, realises he’s not watching, and starts swimming away.

    Now she’s completely out of sight and he’s just sitting there, phone in hand, staring into space like he’s given up on life. And he’s finished his beer. There’s nothing left.

    Edit: ohhhh she’s skinny dipping and one of the other dudebros jumped in with his bermuda shorts on. I need popcorn.













  • I’ve been here for more than ten years now. It really is beautiful, and the opportunities to explore Europe have been incredible. But Switzerland is a notoriously unfriendly country and maintaining friendships here is work. Plus our parents are ageing, we miss being close to family, and I especially miss living by the ocean. Going back was always a possibility as an early retirement plan - it’s also too expensive to retire in Switzerland.

    Mountains and meadows are nice for a while, but driving six hours in the era of carbon footprint reduction to get to a warm bathtub (the Mediterranean) gets a bit stale.
