I've changed into a onesie and have a hot water bottle for my feet.

Probably seems a fair exchange now, but wait until you want a cuppa.

Funnily enough I only heard that expression last month, a few weeks ago I'd have been completely confused.

Had a call from Potential New Boss today, and he's confirmed that the contract will be in the post for me to sign, and I can assume I start work at 07:30 (in the morning, for goodness sakes...) on May the 15th, assuming there's not too many travel restrictions in the meantime.
It means crossing the Black Forest to get to my apartment, but I'm considered a key worker because we provide front line care for people with psychological disabilities.

Thought the Swiss were cuckoo about cuckoo clocks!
Besides can you eat a cuckoo clock.

Possibly, but the Black forest is big on them.
To make up for the in edibility of novelty timepieces there's also smoked pork, and freshwater salmon, and Flammkuchen. The latter is also made in France apparently.
Oh, and I'm between the Black Forest proper and the Kaiserstühl region which apparently has a Mediterranean climate and is a wine growing area.
ETA: Also Wikipedia says Praying Mantisisis.. is live there.

Are there any bears in the forest and if there are, will you be riding alone?

No, but there will soon be wolves, hopefully. Actually Corona has probably helped with this as the biggest obstacle until now was the Autobahn along the French border, so with the reduced traffic they may stand a better chance of crossing it.
Bears, sadly are deemed too dangerous. One wandered into Bavaria a decade or so ago from the Czech Republic and was shot.

Deadly snails though,
"The Giant Deadly Kamikaze Black Forest Trail Snail is very real, and every bit as dangerous as its name implies. This lethal scourge of the Black Forest lies in wait now for the unsuspecting and uneducated."

The very essence of the thread. Recycling bin tomorrow. Checked council website, collection as normal.
